Some months ago I got a new GUI from Mirage and it's quite awesome! :)



Anyway, still working on the iPhone version, then I'll continue on the C64 version. Yay!

Rather major update:

* Recoded the wallset converter using much better algorithms. Using these new algorithms I could cut down the charset to half (512 chars) and still increase quality. These wallsets will ofcourse be replaced by hand drawn pixels later on.

* Recoded the wall renderer and changed the way screen bytes are compressed. This resulted in a smaller and faster renderer.

* Total bytes saved from previous version: $1568

Mirage was kind enough to pixel some item icons to me. In this new release ALL data for ALL the items in the game has be put in.

Use the 1351-mouse and play around with those icons! (It would be nice if someone tried it on the real thing, I don't have any 1351 here)

A new test version out. Many small things have been added, some of them are:

* Proper keyboard scanning (move using w,e,r,s,d,f).
* 1351 mouse support (not tested on the real thing)
* The font.
* Text decompression.
* All data for all items in the game.
* Item icons (not finished only semi converted, press space to render some).
* In game script parser embryo.
* Level script.

and more behind the scene stuff...

Next release will hopefully contain proper handpixeled graphics and a test container for drag'n'dropping items on the characters.

Project resumed...

Started to reverse engineer the script language used in the Amiga/PC versions. Can't decide if I should create an interpreter or compile the scripts to native 6502 code. What ever uses the least memory I guess...

This is the first, very early preview of an attempted port of Eye of the Beholder I.

This version features only a simple level 9 explorer. It only shows the wallset graphics (walls, stairs, doors and portals). So no decorations, no overlays, no monsters, no items.

There are no collision detection either so don't get lost.

This is a work in progress and I'm not sure if there is memory for a full game or not at this moment. The project will be paused now for a few months until after X2006. There are more important stuff to code on. ;)

Preferably use VICE with joy#2 attached to numerical keypad. Then rotate using 7/9 and move using 2,4,6 and 8.

If you run on the real thing the controls are crappy since it implies that you turn using top-left and top-right motion with your joystick.

And finally, sorry for the bad converted GUI graphics, I just wanted to have something there.
