It's a really addictive game! I had a paper due tonight that... ::cough:: ...almost didn't get turned in on time. Laughing Maybe they should rate these by how much they can make your grades fall. So far I unlocked all the cheats, plus Amy and Shadow (still playing). Maybe TI-Sonic could use hidden characters too. Anyway, it's good to see this much effort go into freeware.

Any more news on sonic? Im very interested in this game, and how it's going to perform on a 6megahert calculator. The SNES is clocked i think betweek 1.5 and 3.25 megaherts. Not %100 sure though...

You forget that the SNES also has hardware for drawing tilemaps, sprites, rotation, scaling and a host of other things too ... you cant simply compare processor speed.

He didn't forget it, he just left that out. Anyway, If Mario is any indication, I'm pretty confident that the Z80 has more than enough processing power to make for a well-performing Sonic. At least if the code is effecient. Wink I'm curious to know if any compression techniques will be used to make larger levels. Traditionally, a Sonic level is way longer than a Mario map because of the speeds involved.

There you guys go again trying to compare a games console to a calculator. JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROCESSOR DOESNT MEAN THAT THEY ARE EQUAL! I mean some mocrowaves have z80's ... do you think they can play sonic?

Consoles have 'dedicated hardware' for tilemaps, sprites, rotations, scrolling atc. On a calc you must do these thing in 'software' which is MUCH slower.

Also a sonic game will not be 'easy' to pull off. Possible, but not 'easy'.

Anyway ... is there a status update?

Yes there is some few updates......

I am almost done with the game engine and Right now I am working on the details of the characters with the spare time I have with programming.

But I need some input from you guys... What would you like to see in this game? Any ideas?

Alittle update to sonic...

Since I seen the work (Great work) that basic can do, I decided to make a sonic basic game also. This may sound alittle weird, but I think it will take basic to its limits without using asm help.

I am still making a sonic asm game, but i also am going to make a sonic basic. they both are going to be entirely different types of games. One will be a adventure with no level editor for now (Basic sonic), and the other one will be a adventure, but with a level editor ( sonic asm)

Just wanted to let you all know. Laughing

Are you 'really' making an ASM version of Sonic ... or is it like you NES expander?

I wish people where more like tr1p1ea because questions like that really help us all.

BTW could you give a short description of how the basic version is going to look? Graphically speaking that is.
