3071 - 8bit-wars comp entry

[Steve Elliott]

Sorry Steve, I couldn't help myself...

lol quite fitting it says something similar in my game.

[Derron]

Think the colors suit to the "viva morte"-theme (yes a bit more "yellowish/greenish" would be even better but still the vibrant colors fit!).

While testing Do debugging Repeat 

All sort of weird stuff now. footsteps sounds and using the synth parameters to do subtle things like echos!

catching all those bugs...

[iWasAdam]

the end is now in sight, so I added a few new things. Mortis has found some water... 

[iWasAdam]

Windows 10 version working perfectly 

[therevills]

Looking great Adam!

Really hope it has the movement sound effects of Knight Lore!

Just listen to how the little guy walks!

Every screenie makes me think, wow, great work!

Not quite - it's more like Atic Atac.
there are 3 versions of the sound included:
spectrum 48 with one channel beep
spectrum 128 3 channel + noise
spectrum next - sample based

They all use the same real-time audio core which is something I've been working on for a while - this is it's first outing.
The default is the Next version, which uses some interesting stuff with the footsteps. There is only one sound being used, but I am doing all sorts of audio trickery to make it sound like lots of different sounds!

The same (concept) is used when the game first starts - you'll have to run it to find out what I mean...

the entire storage (for all sounds) is 356k. The spectrum 48/128 sound is about 256 bytes

So everything you hear is being generated in real-time on the cpu. Think of it as a programmable 16 voice synth.

The song code is more resource hungry (memory wise), but I have some ideas for maybe compacting it slightly.
All the songs are the same data being played, with tracks being muted depending on what spectrum version you are playing.
so:
spectrum 48 used track 1
spectrum 128, tracks 1,2,3,4
spectrum next, tracks 9,11,12,13,14

Just for Derron - Linux compile complete and operational 

[Derron]

Yay. While we Linux user's might not be the developers best friends (we submit bug reports) we appreciate the efforts of a native build ;-)

[iWasAdam]

I'm on the last round now...
Mainly doing constant bug checks and fixes. 
Minor update to the mini map:

I've added some direction arrows to point you (vaguely) in the right direction for finding runes

[3DzForMe]

A Mini map and a Linux build, are you sure you haven't got a small team on your project, great work!

We worked out a while back that Adam isn't actually completely human. Most of him is hard-wired into a computer so he can code while doing other boring stuff - like life :-)

He is a machine with production - perhaps a handicap system needs to be added to the comps
