Man been forever since i've posted. had an extremely crappy year. I got alot of stuff that will keep me away from any of my ongoing work. And yes castlevania is still at the forefront of my game work but it is still far off for a while atm. I had some strange drive to create an image even though I haven't had the time or the drive to do any artwork prior to the drive. lol so I just wanted to share the image for inspiration to others. here ya go.

My best today was 40 seconds, but I know people can do much better than that. :) I fixed two tiny bugs, and also made it so the timer will stop counting down when you "win", so that way, you can brag with a screenshot. -John

Just wondering if this is still being worked on or if you plan to come back to it soon. It was looking really good.

Well, I only designed the game screens but Propane13 did the coding. Last I heard, he had been looking into adapting it to another similar style game. However, at the time, I think he had a few other things going that took priority.

been thinkin about adding in another level of compression to data storage. This may or maynot work but it's worth exploring. I already have 5 bytes to indicate which scanlines are used for collisions. I thought about breaking the screen into 8 sections am use a single byte to tell the screen kernel to switch over to one that loads the screen data diffrently. It would only store the first and second bytes/sections of the screen, and then, with the timming right, re-store that same data backwards.

data:
A
B
C
D
F

Color PF1 PF2 PF2 PF1

standard kernel

B A C D F

repeat kernel

B A C A C

And then collision etection will take this into effect based on the byte that shifts the kernel(s)

Hello all. I've been redesigning the screen layout to come closer into sync with the look of the NES version and in doing so added more color to the scene. this may closer refect the final look than anything thus far. Once I have the screen loader code in place and simon can move, then new screens will be added. enjoy the latest demo.

Thanks go out to pac man red. Your rendition of dracula's castle helped me to upate the first level. And to the others who have contribute as well. Much thanks.
