Commander X16

Tower Defender is the next game in my ongoing project to convert my various PET games over to X16. This ended up being more of a re-write given that the faster processor, sprite graphics, mouse controller, etc allowed for more enemies, more towers, a better UI, etc. The goal of the game is to stop ...

I use the kernal calls to (i) turn on the mouse (mouse_config, $FF68) and (ii) get the location of the mouse (mouse_get, $FF6B) to control the location of a few different sprites .. but things aren't working as I would've expected. As a simplified example of the issue I am having: - I start the emul...

Thank you Johan. Yes confirmed re my error above on scenario (iii), and noted re the interrupt triggering (there is one tutorial online that suggests the sprite collision interrupt occurs independent of the vertical blank interrupt which was something else I couldn't seem to replicate).

I've read the documentation and various tutorials on sprites and sprite collisions plus played with all types of code .. but can't seem to figure out a simple way of doing what I want. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated: A simplified scenario of what I am doing is ...

Thanks @voidstar .. I think you really nailed it. I wasn't sure if people would pick up on using the space/enter to speed the game up but it can make for a real accelerator in those early levels.

[Updated download below.] Taito released the original Space Invaders arcade game in 1978, and as a high school student Satoshi Matsuoka created a masterpiece replica of Space Invaders for the Commodore PET in 1980. Taito updated the original arcade game in 1979 with the release of Space Invaders Par...

ok I have fixed up the areas that people identified in various comments here and elsewhere: 1. SNES controller on hardware should work (much appreciated if someone can test this) 2. keyboard controls better match modern keyboard layouts like the X16 (eg use arrow keys to move) 3. the henchmen genera...

ok thanks for confirming that only "down" works on an actual hardware computer using SNES controller. For clarity, the START button doesn't do anything - you are simply supposed to move around that first menu to select which world/level you want to start on and then press the button to sta...
