About my Alien Breed game. You requested more
information about how it works.
The data for the levels is stored in Pics 1-4.
There are different pixel combinations for
what is in the corresponding block. These
combos are stored in 2*2 blocks of pixels.
eg. a wall looks like this:
in the picture. The picture is made up of
many combos like this. The decompression
program goes through the picture
translating the combinations into number in
Matrix [A].
And yes, the program is in BASIC.
I might just have to reprogram the whole
game in ASM, which will take a while, as I
still don't know heaps.
I'll check out the tutorials I keep seeing
mentioned, and see if I can learn a bit from
them too. I DON'T know what the ".db"
statements are, well I can guess: Are they
just stored data?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanx.
