Hi Martin, I'll need to implement the PIXEL() function in MMB4L to see exactly how far you got, but what I can see (the intro) is great, I hope you do finish it. Best wishes, Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Hi Martin, Looking great. Especially the first lever, with the rolling vessels. These look like demo levels (no player yet). What PicoMiteVGA version did you develop on ? v6.00.01 ?, v5.09.00rc5 ? 2040 or 2350 ? I am running it on v6.00.02b11, and at the 4'th level I get an error message on heap memory playing FLAC. [396] Play flac "Audio/finish-level-1.flac" Error : Not enough Heap memory I will try to look through the code if I can make sense from it. Then maybe I can contribute, -or- just act as a test person. All in all, a very nice game already, if this can be made playable, it will be a winner. Volhout P.S. in the mario csub, are you using magenta as background ? There are quite a lot of 0F0F's these are compressed lilac's ? Edited 2025-02-17 00:22 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Harm, Tom. thank you for testing.. I haven't tried it on v6.00.01. I had the Heap memory Issue with earlier Beta Versions and Peter fied them. The barrels turn to the front at times. This means that it has recognized a ladder underneath and would have used it (according to the 25% rule).at the moment I don't have a sub to roll down the ladders, so it's just for me to monitor. Basically the demo is just building the levels so far. I'm trying to stay pixel perfect to the original. Edited 2025-02-17 00:38 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Hi Martin, I have been looking into the Mario figure, and could use your advise. The 28 sprites in the main code contain Mario data in a 16x16 format, but (unless I am mistaken) the sprite shape is 64 pix H by 56 pix V. So there is lots of black at right and bottom side of Mario. When blit on the L layer, that leaves large black area's. Could you re-create the CSUB with 16x16 sprite format ? this shows it: Kong_h00.zip Thank you, Volhout Edited 2025-02-17 01:16 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

I intend first to make subs for Mario to walk right/left/up,down. And fall down. Volhout Edited 2025-02-17 01:23 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

yes the Mario Sprites are 16x16 (Picture in the Images Folder) I made the C Subs the same way as @ Petscii Robots eg. Create Sprites from Picture and use Peters Program to convert them to CSUB ... Dont know, why they are stored at wrong size.  all other sprites are placed on the right and left of the N layer, here I use “real” sprites, because there is the possibility of mirroring. The area is not needed in the game, as the original game 224x26 Pixel. I moved the top 16 Pixel (Score & Highscore) to the Left and Right on the L Layer.  Edited 2025-02-17 03:40 by Martin H.

Daniel , This is still far from a finished game, rather a proove of the concept, whether and how the game could be created on the Pico. So, till now, you dont have a Player to move  Cheers Martin 'no comment |

Hi Martin, I have no idea where the "Not enough Heap memory" error comes from, but it is not related to playing flac as such. It can also happen when showing a sprite. And actually that may be related to the problem. You dynamically re-program sprite #1. Maybe there is something that does eat memory each time you change the same sprite. For the rest I cannot see anything that consumes lots of heap. Anyway, there is something strange in 6.00.0x series. Investigation continues. I confirm that kong.bas works on 5.09.00rc5. So something has degraded. Volhout P.S. is there an online simulator you can advise so I can learn the movements of Mario ? how jump, how walk, how climb, etc. Something in line with what you want it to look like.

Martin, I am using the normal default modbuffer settings (no number specified) and have no problems with the latest beta version. So I can't replicate the "heap error"... Hm! EDIT (!)

Hi Martin, I already made that version, also called h01. And it still has heap issues with 6.00.02b11. I did not try 6.00.01. I tried 5.09.00rc5. But it is good to know that 6.00.01 also works. That limits the option to the 6.00.02 series. My settings are "OPTION RESET VGA DESIGN 2" and "OPTION CPUSPEED 252000" These use modbuff 192k. I also have system I2C for the RTC. I may be able to look further into it this evening (at work now). Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Amnesie, What platform ? 2040 VGA PS2 ? Or 2350 (more memory). Dit you start the "kong.bas" and let it run a whole cycle (all 4 demos). The issue happens when the floor collapses under Kong, before he falls down. Volhout Edited 2025-02-17 22:14 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Volhout, no problems on the Pico 2 (2350) on the latest beta - I let it loop over 4 cycles (and more for many times). Maybe because Martin uses the RP2040? Greetings Daniel |

If FLAC makes problems on Pico2, maybe it helps if the Flacs might be converted to 16khz Mono mp3. but I couldn't test that on 2040 and my pico 2 does not yet have audio. 'no comment |

| Volhout Guru Joined: 05/03/2018 Location: NetherlandsPosts: 4716 |
The 2040 cannot do mp3. The only other option is MOD or WAV. But WAV could also be a problem. But maybe it is simply stopping audio, and waiting a bit for buffers to clear, and then play flac? Volhout Edited 2025-02-18 03:05 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |
