I like tlr's routine, seemed a bit simpler to me.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Also perhaps you can make the engines flicker on the spaceship on the intro screen - that would add a lot and should be fairly easy without doing the full animation? I've found that it's anything but. It'd take cycle-exact raster interrupts because the border colour has to be used. I really don't f...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
I couldn't really see the cone release animation, maybe it happens to fast? Can you slow it down? For example in the Arcade, the ball travels nearly the full height of the screen in the time it takes for the gate to open and close. Also as mentioned, the player is 70% of the way through round 1 befo...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Good work.. I noticed that those spinning cones seem to come out a bit sooner/more often than the Arcade version? Also, a nice-to-have would be the small revolving-flap animation when they appear at the top that is on the Arcade. We are really talking about small polishing touches here though, it se...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
nice btw, I see there is a new Atari 2600+ coming soon and brand new paddles are being manufactured for it to fit d-type connectors. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Atari-Cartridge-Paddle-Exclusive-Amazon-co-uk/dp/B0CG9QV4WT/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_1/259-9572665-6789500?pd_rd_w=KjE3y&content-id=amzn1.sym....

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
What music should be playing then? Whilst entering the name? There used to be a song that played when you finished the game - I think you removed it to be played only on achieving a high score? Having been invited to enter my score, I assumed it would play. I attached an old version with said music.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Excellent, so smooooth! A couple of observations playing on real hardware. 1) There appeared to be some graphic corruption on the spaceship image. A vertical bar I hadn't noticed before. 2) When I got the laser, I had a score in the middle of the playfield counting up briefly, not sure if this is su...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Looking great - very smooth.
I pressed the L key and it locked up, perhaps that's normal.
Vice 3.1 snapshot attached anyway.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
I had a similar issue when developing Popeye. It would sometimes get stuck. In the end I reorganised the memory map to put all writeable values on a single data segment then set up vice watches to alert if writing outside of that segment. I also set up an auto play mode with infinite lives. Then I s...

Re: Cartridges!!!
As a teenager I had Jelly Monsters and Super-Lander.
I too had to have the original cartridge even though I have them on the mega-cart, just for the box, artwork and smell.
