Hello everyone

Thank you for asking how the things are going. After I completed the level 7 development I needed to pause the project. I got divorced and I'm putting my life back on track. I have plans to finalize the last level as soon my life is back to the "normal" pace.

I married at 20. 30 years later left me. single parent.
initially it's difficult but life does go on.
you will find another if you seek, women want a partner also.
just my empathy, stan

Hi Leo,

It just became very quiet about the project.

That's not great to hear, but sometimes life happens in front of a screen and that has a much higher priority.

I wish you all the best in recalibrating your life.

Thank you @thwill for the PR. It only needs a quick conflict fix. I have created a new input.inc file and moved the input functions to there.

@LeoNicolas you may have noticed from the PR that I've arbitrarily assigned the version number v0.1.0 to the version of Knightmare I'm going to include alongside MMB4L v0.7-alpha.1. Is this OK, or can you suggest a more appropriate version number.

Tom

@thwill, thank you for the changes to the game. I have merged them.

I'm pushing a fix on the gamepad function for a bug that was preventing the keyboard input to work. I have built the MMB4L from the last source code but the game didn't run on it due to errors on interpreting the option commands. Am I doing something wrong?

I also completed the level 7 development and I'm recording a video for the stage gameplay. The stage 8 is on the way as well :)

You're welcome.

That's odd, I thought it was working for me, perhaps there is a bug in MMB4L which meant it "worked" there but not on the real hardware.

Without knowing what the errors were I would guess you built the "main" branch which is v0.6.1. You need to build the "develop-v0.7-alpha.1" branch; once it is checked out you can just run the "build.sh" script. Please note I haven't published v0.7-alpha.1 yet and thus that branch should be considered to be unstable, i.e. I'm likely to edit some of its change-sets.

Nice,

Hello everyone

Today I released the stage 7 gameplay video. The source code is up to date on my GitHub.

This is the first gameplay where the game is running on the MMB4L interpreter version. I want to especially thank Tom (@thwill) for his amazing port. I don't need to rely on wine anymore to run the game on my Linux

Enjoy   https://youtu.be/WcIpNk5oHE0

Very cool! Great job as always!

Wow.  Pretty cool.

Good news everyone, the last stage (stage 8) is coming. Soon we will have a complete game to play and defeat , and it is not easy!

I have tested the program on a CMM2 G2 with MMBasic version 5.07.02b11.
Unfortunately the program stops without any output and without an error message.
Just a blinking cursor. Do I have to set anything?

Thought its ultimate target is the CMM2 I'm not sure it's been tested on anything other than MMB4W + MMB4L.

Do you mean it has returned to the MMBasic prompt ?

If so then what is the output of TRACE LIST and which download link did you use (so the line numbers from the trace can be matched up) ?

Best wishes,

Tom

Yes, it has returned to the MMBasic prompt.
But if i look on the console, i can see this output

Error on connecting to the gamepad: 16
Please, check the gamepad connection and restart the game or change the g_gamepad_on% variable to false.

I use the actual Github Code on https://github.com/leonicolas/knightmare-cmm2

New situation: if i change the g_gamepad_on% variable to false it starts.
But the sprites doesn't work. most of them are black. The knight is also surrounded by black pixels.

It's like this:

Thank you for testing the game.

I didn't test the game in a real CMM2 yet. It will probably require some adjustments. I'm developing the game on my PC and it was only tested on the MMB4W and MMB4L interpreters.

There are a lot of bugs to fix, that I'm leaving to the end. Right now I'm finalizing the implementation of the last stage, stage 8.
Edited 2025-02-01 01:49 by LeoNicolas

Looks like sprite transparency "isn't working" the same on all platforms.

That's a "bit odd" since MMB4W was IIRC a direct port of the CMM2 code.

MMB4L's sprite code is a rewrite using the PicoMiteVGA code as a reference.

Best wishes,

Tom

Yep, something for further investigation  

Hi everyone

I pushed the stage 8 map to the game repo. Now I'm implementing the final boss behaviour. This stage is not easy  
This version has only been tested on the MMB4L. After finishing the game, I will add support for the other platforms.
