Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

thwill said Martin,

At some future point it is possible I might make a free compilation of games/programs for the PicoGAME VGA downloadable from https://github.com/thwill1000/pico-game-vga. Can I have your permission to include PicoVaders ?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom
I would be glad if you do that. Permission officially granted.

But picovaders has no screen artefacts (not that I know of), not even at 126MHz ARM clock (the slowest). It simply is a well made game (Compliments to Martin).

And the 1.6ms for scanning a controller is peanuts in the gameplay.

Hi Harm,
thank you.. it was one of my goals to make the Game playable at normal (slow) speed.
There is still a PAUSE Command in the Main loop to keep it smooth. This is due to the fact that some Sub-routines take different time, depending on their events.

PicoVaders now with fast keyboard input.
Moving of player stops when firing.

I used this code for keyboard:

ON PS2 kbd

Sub Move_Player
if(inp=1)then
if(m=57451)then k$=CHR$(130)
if(m=57460)THEN k$=CHR$(131)
if(m=41)THEN k$=" "
inp=0
EndIf

.
.
Sub kbd
m=MM.Info(PS2)
inp=1
End Sub'

Have fun,
Peter
