Progress has been relatively quick through the ground-based objects; it has mostly been a case of filling out a few more simple instruction sequences for handlers that were half-finished. Most of the lower-level routines used in the handlers have already been transcoded and tested. The first flying enemy has appeared; …

I’ve fixed the shooting routines; now there’s no doubt they’re all targeting the Solvalou! Those Derotas are on target! The “bullet-hell” I was seeing had me concerned; it’s not as if the firing frequency logic was all in one routine – every object has its own logic, even if it …

Today I decided to implement bullets which meant going back to RE some of the code that calculates the bullet trajectory. TBH it did (and still does) my head in a bit; I understand what it’s trying to do and roughly how it’s doing it, but some of the finer …

Domogram was one of the more complicated ground-based objects and I must say the implementation went pretty smoothly. It’s the object that seemingly ‘follows’ paths. The circling Domograms on Level 7 Of course it’s all pre-canned routes programmed via a list of vectors comprising dX,dY and length components. The map …
