  • Oh, but I don't have flip and copy/paste features, which reminds me if you want your little guy to run both directions you have to have sprite drawings for both directions, because the C64 can't flip its sprites.

    Or, in my case, all four directions, since I'm doing a rogue-like/rogue-light, and maybe that's an impossible amount of resources...four sets of sprite data for all monsters seems like it will add up fast, especially with overlays. 64 bytes*2*4*number of characters.

  • Feature parity with Spritemate, now, I think?

  • briankrebs@infosec.exchange this is what I absolutely love about the AP dev space.

    There's so much trust in other servers not reporting absolutely bogus numbers, that it's literally a surprise when someone does something like this... or that time I posted something with a timestamp one year in the future and had my post stuck at the top of "recent" in perpetuity.

    It reminds me of a simpler time when we trusted things sent via protocols because malicious users wouldn't abuse it... Pretty please!

  • OK, animation with overlay sprites is confusing. It seems like it makes sense to group the overlay with the sprite it overlays...so you can increment a, umm, pointer or whatever you call it in assembly, and have the offset remain the same always. So, each frame in an animation displays two sprites adjacent to each other in memory.

    But, what if the overlay is re-used? If I have two different little guys who have the same outline, but different multicolor, I can no longer count on adjacency.

  • @dillyd (I love this sketch because the moment the host welcomes David Mitchell hinting at the space centre you KNOW where the joke is going, but the delivery is still just perfect)

    Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like. I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords. Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.#Windows #Windows10 #Linux #computing #Technology https://brucelawson.co.uk/2025/goodbye-windows-10-hello-zorin-os/
