Okay, I made some long million year ago post about that shooter game i wrote in "C", but I ran outta mem. So I decided to port what I wrote in C to assembly plus better grfx and just more betterness.
Unfortunately for phoenix(lamesauce  ), it took me about 3 hours to port the general "engine" plus object upgrades to assembler. I'll be adding the collision detection in sometime in the next 2 days or so.
As for my other project, I'ma take a week break from Blobby 'cuz i need some time to sort out what i've written for more options in the future (the code is getting a bit messy from me trying to write the code fast, making everythign yucky).
What I gotz done in about 3 hours:
Current support:
->Custom object tasks
->Custom images
->Bullet customizations, directions
->object task system aKa, 20 objects spawn, when all 20 die, it moves on to the next taskkk
->level support aKa, different background <3
->beautiful greyscale grfx courtesy to RGP, by jim e
->will support masked sprites
thx: spencer and jim e for emulator and greyscale.
Current source released for now (incomplete source), but it won't be released again until I finish the project. The program will look crappy on a real calc atm because of emulation differences, blurriness, etc. I'll have to manually fix the timings on the real calc.

wow! Nice Graphics! very well done, I must say. On the other hand, first we had Phoenix, then someone starts the Touhou Project, and now this, all shooters. I wonder which one will win out among those three...though they are all good shooters, except maybe for Phoenix, but thats out of question now

Collision detection finished, however, without parameters atm, it cant be used in a custom way, so i gotta fix that.
I'm going to make some new enemies and power ups tomorrow.
I will also implement the image masks when I get the time.
Oh yea, i'm going to have power ups...amazing power up  .
Bullet collision atm:
Code:
;(hl) = object pic pointer
;(hl+1) = xcor
;(hl+2) = ycor
;same with de
BulletCollisionChk:
ld hl,Bullet_Table
ld de,Object_Table
ld b,32
_c:
push bc
push de
push hl
ld a,(hl)
cp 0
jr z,_c_next_bullet
ld b,20
_cc:
push bc
push hl
push de
ld a,(de)
cp 0
jr z,_cnextobj
inc hl
inc de
ld a,(de)
ld c,(hl)
Call CollisionChk ; compares the x coordinates via "C" and "A"
cp COLLISION
jr nz,_cnextobj
inc hl
inc de
ld a,(de)
ld c,(hl)
Call CollisionChk
cp COLLISION
jr nz,_cnextobj
dec hl \ dec de
dec hl \ dec de
ld (hl),0
xor a
ld (de),a
ld a,(Objects_on_Screen)
dec a
ld (Objects_on_screen),a
_cnextobj:
pop de
pop hl
pop bc
push hl
ld hl,4
add hl,de
ex de,hl
pop hl
djnz _cc
_c_next_bullet:
pop hl
ld de,4
add hl,de
pop de
pop bc
djnz _c
ret
g'night. thx for all the support.

That looks pretty good. I like the scrolling background.
Although I kind of suck at Z80 assembly, I think you can use "or a" instead of "cp 0" in your bullet collision-detection code. |

| Yeah "or a" should work and I think its smaller/faster if I remember correctly. |

| it is smaller (by one byte). I also remember it being faster, though I'm not sure on that part. To date, my favorite shooter has been phantom star, but this has great potential. keep it up! |

| Definately gotta love the grayscale work! Back in the day, Phoenix was numero uno when it came to classroom gaming. So far, it look like we could be seeing the ledgend reborn! |

Yer, i'm pretty sure this is true (the 2nd part, not the first lol). Thx, i'll fix this.
[edit]
Wow, i almost announced this as a dead project after I ran into a huge memory glitch in my code.. Spent 2 hours tryign to find it and i finally found it was a random push statement without a pop. Gods sake, project will continue. :]]]

| Oh man, those things are the worst. They're so hard to find because you have to go and count every push/pop/call/ret! I feel your pain, cjgone (and relief) |

Haven't started animations. srry ppl, no power ups yet, but i'll be adding different enemies, animations, and better stuff tomorrow.
(Guess what, the game over pic = the same for greyscale tetris <3).

I was surprised that the push\pop thing didn't make it crash when i was coding yesterday, so today when I added anything anywhere in the code it automatically died.. I pinpointed the routine slowly and found it... If it crashed earlier, it would of been easier to find. :]
the stack = most annoying thing about writing games\applications.

Hmmm... I'd say it's second. Decoding memory locations and what they do (outside of the little tiny program) is the worst.
Btw, looking very nice! Haha, I love your description.

Okay, anything to do with memory is a pain.. i've been using pointers to functions\pics\etc thru out my shooter atm, even tho its annoying, it makes the code clean and alot more organized.
Updates to the game:
I've made it so objects can create other objects from an event. Before, only the "Task manager" could create objects.
Expect explosions and crap, and of course power ups, duh!
Plz suggest power ups 'cuz i don't really know any except making more bullets. No, i'm not increasing speed of bullets atm, not worth the resources.
Code has hit 1,100 line without data.
bottom = cool new title scr33n

You've pwned Phoenix already and you haven't even gotten to a final release. Nice work!
I'm going to just say that personally I hate when you somehow end up overwriting some saferam or trying to overwrite stuff in Flash. Happens to me too often, haha.
Some random powerups I grabbed off the top of my head:
- Powerup that gives you a shield that will protect you, from either one bullet or for a certain amount of time.
- Extra points (duh).
- Timed-explosion bullets?
- Extra life! -makes 1up sound from Super Mario Bros.-
I can't think of any more after that either >_<. |

Atm, i'm contemplating larger then 8x8 enemies. I've never coded something that isn't "one object size", so it might take a day or so to figure out a good way to have like a controller of some multi-sprite object. ;o
Er today, however, i'm going to be adding the following:
->some cooler enemies
->YES, powerups today
-> counter for enemies to move down by like 10 sqaures as if they came from somewhere above the screen or something.
If anyone knows how to make a timer with greyscale on, please post.
okay, finished simple animated explosion and down movement+left\right
