Revision as of 18:18, 20 April 2012
Nyan SID
The development diary for Nyan SID - a quick little mini game with SID and BBC music.
Maybe not as quick as I thought it was going to be.
Week 10: 16-22 April 2012 "Almost Finished"
Almost finished but the sprite tearing isn't so good.
Not sure what to do about that.
Week 9: 9-15 April 2012
Week 8: 2-8 April 2012
Week 7: 26 March - 1 April 2012
Week 6: 19-24 March 2012
Week 5: 12-18 March 2012
Week 4: 5-11 March 2012
Week 3: 27 Feb - 04 Mar 2012
Week 2: 20-25 Feb 2012 "Writing the Game"
Draw the rainbow. Draw the stars. Animate the cat. I count frames to see how fast it runs and display that as dashes at the top of the screen. The frame rate is ok until I draw the rainbow then it drops to 3/50ths.... This is a shame because I know moving to hardware scrolling is going to be a pain.
Week 1: 14-19 Feb 2012
