OK, Guys,.. Gets see the Spectrum vs Spectrum Next versions:

first is the Spectrum 48/128k


and the same room as Spectrum Next version (the next allows full palette color per pixel)


I thought this was a good demo of the graphics - they are the same in both. but using a shader to flatten out the color

You can also just see that the digits on the bottom right are now functioning. and yep they stat at 3071!

why does that green ground-tile-dot dissappear / flicker. Color-per-block limitations?
My guess would be it's the black outline that makes the tile dot appear to dissappear / flicker

He he, looking really good :)

Not to spoil things but could you and everyone please read the competition posting regarding the rules on the colour palette, thanks :)

HMMMM....

thinks.... how to respond....

ok....

It's the same palette isn't it?

Yep, your image looks like minimal colours with half bright applied, just like in the pallette. Grey areas are tough.

I've been all over the code and graphics and it looks ok - as far as I am aware...

But. There are shaders involved, so there are possible 'minor' color differences. Plus possible alpha colors (like 255,0,0,1) hiding around.

I'm open to suggestions here :)

I know it's petty to point out but as its in the rules if I don't let you know now and someone points it out after the comp closes then things turn sour :( - Hence me saying for everyone to please check your palettes are using the ones provided :)

The lighter colours are all correct but your darker colours are not :

nothing to show today  ;D

But did sort out the loading screen, so I can tick that off the list now...

iWasAdam

BLOODY ECK!  :o

IT WORKS!!!!!  8)

BIIG NEWS.... The synth made its' first sound as an import today!
Nothing too dramatic, but was a complete voice with controls running independently within the game!

Derron

so IT came ALIVE !!11eleven!?

Do what you enjoy ;-)

#160
Further update...

Completely operational and very low system use too!!!  ^-^

I thought there might have been some impact with both graphics and sound running, but both are rock solid - yay!!!!!

So it looks like you might get 3 different renditions:
1. spectrum 48k beep
2. spectrum 128k chip synth
3. spectrum next true sound

current sound (file) storage is 110k - this will increase with true sound voices
and the song file (containing all sequences) is 141k

Nothing to show  >:(

Started work on cross compile. so that I can have windows and macos versions

Derron

who cares of a mac version? Install a linux box and create a linux release :-)

Think since the latest compo you should have some working code on linux now (if not - drop me a mail and we could try to fix the issues).
