Today is going to be spent authoring collision on the original Shinobi maps using the excellent Tiled from @bjorn .

I might have a pop and completing some of the weird maps left in the ROM too.

Dev Update 2 on my Shinobi: Commander X16 rewrite.

I've moved to arcade fidelity graphics, which look absolutely awsome on the Commander X16!

Think I'm just about ready to start using this now. Will also throw it up on Codeberg at some point. Properly documented of course.

Minified, this whole engine is a single 17KB Javascript file, and approx 2KB of that is the MIT license text. 😁

The font adds an extra 8.8KB but isn't technically needed, and again that includes the MIT text.

I do plan on adding more to it yet mind. Eventually.

My submission for the BASIC 10Liner competition is in. Can you do better? There's still lots of time to enter. I'm hoping to beat my previous result of "nearly last place". bunsen.itch.io/dec-man-sinc... #RetroComputing #RetroGameDev #ZXSpectrum

DEC-Man (Sinclair ZX Spectrum)...

My work-in-progress pacman clone for the BASIC 10Liner competition now has a more aggressive ghost and terror-inducing sound. I'm pretty happy with this, considering the code is limited to 10 lines of 80 characters and BASIC on the ZX Spectrum is pretty verbose. #RetroComputing #RetroGameDev

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills

I took a first stab at isometric maps on a 386. The new direction definitely makes things more challenging... and I'm not sure yet if I can pull it off.
