Just updated my local copy and noticed something... in joy.h, the header has this for doc generation /** * \file joy.h * \brief General controller support. * \author Chilly Willy & Stephane Dallongeville * \date 05/2012 * * This unit provides methods to read controller state.<br> *<br> * Here is the...

Oh hell that sounds like a good way to have months wasted by something out of your control... Fortunately, we got lots of cool smoke to let us know there was a problem, and even more fortunately, we noticed the HUGE EFFING HOLES drilled through the board that weren't part of the specs we sent. :win...

At least one of them was working. We had an Amiga board we made back in the day where the company hired to make the PCB needed a mounting hole and picked a spot without consulting us. The hole would wind up being through-hole plated... and it wound up connecting power to ground. When we got the firs...

Yeah, that would avoid changing the path env var, which might be a requirement if you were using another cross-compiler for something. I might do that myself.

The way it works for me in Windows 7... Set three environment variables in Windows: GDK set to "C:/tools/SGDK" GDK_WIN set to "C:\tools\SGDK" Path has added to end ";%GDK_WIN%\bin" and then restart so the env vars are active. Inside Geany, pull up the main C file for the project (main.c often) and s...

Nice!

It's better to just have the level setup code copy the rom level data to ram in a case like that. If the level data needs to stay between levels for some reason, you're in big trouble as the MD has very little ram. In a case like THAT, I'd say require save ram and store a compressed delta of the lev...

Nice. I should wait and see how it develops.

Why doesn't gravity affect everything? I guess you have separate routines for everything, and the gravity is baked into the code? I suppose collision detection will be coming soon. And code to move the enemies around. Will there be a low attack? The punch is sort of medium, the kick in the air a hig...

You could make the rom name stand out more, or more pack the rom separate from the rest to make it easier on some folk. Anywho, thanks for posting the source as well. I do like looking at code for things... sometimes more than playing the games!

It would need to be in Map struct format in rom. Then instead of setting currentMap from the unpackMap() function, you'd set it to where it is in rom instead. currentMap = unpackMap(level1a.map, NULL); would change to something like currentMap = (Map *)&level1a_map; where level1a_map is the uncompre...

You're trying to use a compressed map. Unpacking the map requires a word for every cell of the map. Given the size you mention, this will try to allocate 56KB of ram. Sounds like you don't have that much ram available. If you really need the big maps, maybe leave them uncompressed and use straight f...

Still got pink frames, though.

Interesting... the BEX file has some background remaining around the character for some frames. When you stand still or jump, the character is surrounded by pink, but not when moving. I like the SBS character better - it's more cartoony, and fits the current background better than the more realistic...

There's also the issue that the word "SEGA" at a set location is probably not creative enough to even qualify for copyright. You can't copyright ANYTHING - it has to be creative and unique. Most countries have requirements about both, with one being that single words cannot qualify for copyright. Tr...
