@@InkboxSoftware Do you even have to ask? That'd be amazing!

For corners, I'd recommend placing a checkpoint. On reaching the checkpoint, the screen will "fade to black", with only the player character on the black screen, before transitioning to reveal the new direction. Since actual turning isn't particularly practical, this would prevent the jarring sharp teleportation and give a moment's respite.

Here's a suggestion to make the turns much less jaring, the player character should rotate and then run off screen and only when it hits the boundry do you refresh with them at the bottom again. As it is, there isnt any real indication you're turning, it just resets. Cool project though i hope you do a follow up with more features from the original!

Temple OS Run You have to collect random words as a message from God, while avoiding, uh, CIA fellers

This is absolutely insane. The explanation as well as the game are both top notch. Well done!

I took a look at your temple run game and I think the reason it won't work on the original GameBoy is because you call the OAM DMA when you are in ROM. On the DMG, you can only access High RAM during the DMA transfer. You need to copy a routine into HRAM on boot that will call the DMA transfer and will wait for it to finish. There's more details about it in the pandoc.

@InkboxSoftware

Ай бұрын

Thank you so much. I hadn't noticed that part in the pandoc before. I've fixed my code and updated it on my website, with it now being completely compatible with the original Game Boy. Version 1.01 is all because of you.

Definitely one of my favorite channels now! Love the clear focus on dev while providing some insight into the hardware.

Maybe you could do what sonic 1's special stages do and simply fake the rotation by using pre-rotated versions of the tiles and just arranging them in a way that it looks right? You could probably get away with having just one frame of "rotation" just to make it look less abrupt

Finally moving up the ladder, 20 more years and bro will finally find x64 and Unity and unreal :D Love your content man, your NES tutorials got me into learning 6502, I changed my college courses to learn more embedded and low level programming, something so beautiful about the constraints that forces you to be a better coder

I think it really works more as a Game Boy Pro. Or, to use the portable branding, a GBi or New Game Boy.

this is definitely a neat little project! one alternative I'm curious about is whether you could've possibly had sprite room to make the game use vanishing lines instead like the original on phones did, with an extra couple sprites for rotating so you could rotate when you get to a corner... but based off of what you've said so far about the GBC's vram, this definitely seems like it wouldn't have been a thing unless you targeted making the graphics more simplistic

you posted this as soon as i started getting into gb development

Please do more Gameboy assembly dev videos. I am working on a game and it's hard to find anything gameboy related that isn't GBDK or Gameboy studio. I have a basic adventure style game so far with a animated walking 16x16 character. No collisions yet. I would love to see more in depth on the interrupts and tricks like the scrolling scenes in links awakening or Pokemon splash screen. I think I have watched all videos on youtube about ASM coding on the gameboy. Waiting on that next video from Nes Hacker as well. Great video, it helped to solidify some concepts for me.

I just know this gonna be a banger

I loved this project, there are several places to, not necessarily improve, but put your signature since it's your version of Temple Run. The corners always give the impression of being artificial, it would be interesting to put a more elaborate scenario, as if the bridge was still being built (perhaps by crodiles?) and signs as the end of the line or crodiles working or location as an obstacle (another Kirby reference ?) or object like a stranded ship... I don't know if it's a technical obstacle but if you choose wrong side, does it have a unique death animation? And to always get it right, you would have to see the implicit hints present in the scenario. Congratulations on your game!

oh look you’re back

A simple fix for turning might be to adjust the current setup to start on a clone of the corner tile but rotated 90 degrees as appropriate, adjusting the player position to match roughly where they hit the button. Probably still a bit jank but it would probably be less jarring.

I love your videos, you're so talented!

After your Game Boy Color code didn't run on a Game Boy, you'd think you would have realized that they're not the same. It would be equally accurate to program a Super Nintendo game and say it's a Game Boy game, since the Super Nintendo can also play Game Boy cartridges.

@InkboxSoftware

Ай бұрын

There are hardware differences yes, but the same program can run on these two systems. The reason my code didn't work on the original Game Boy was that I hadn't accounted for the way DMA is handled on the original system. Now that it's patched, the exact same program works on both the GB and GBC. The device used to play Game Boy cartridges on an SNES is the Super Game Boy, which itself is basically a Game Boy, so the SNES is really only really being used as a fancy I/O device.

@ZipplyZane

@@InkboxSoftware Though Super Game Boy games can in fact tell the system to run SNES code. There's one game in particular that lets you load a mulitplayer SNES version. I believe it's a version of Space Invaders. The color of Super Game Boy leaves a lot to be desired. As I understand it, it uses palettes for different parts of the screen, rather than at the sprite level, and is relatively slow to update. It doesn't even have the ability to have sprites and backgrounds to use different palettes, which is what the GBC used. AFAIK, there was never a game that really attempted to use both types of color. SGB compatible GBC games would just have a border and a single palette for the whole screen that never changes (e.g. Link's Awakening DX). But I'd love to be wrong.
