Subject: ?tions of a technical nature
first one's to john elliot. is it possible to use
all 255 rooms in jsw128 or do you need to take
'special precautions' like not making an extra
guardian/sprite table? i ask because soa100 said that when he
exceeded 132 rooms, he ran into problems. i also ask
because i'm planning on writing a huuuge
game!
second question is about the conveyor belts, and the way
they animate. it seems like they have different
animation styles (sometimes they move 2 pixels at a time,
sometimes 1, sometimes the bottom row does not move,
sometimes none of it moves?) and i was wondering if anyone
has worked out what the rules are for
this?
actually it has occured to me that by putting a pattern of
2 pixels on the top rows it would be possible to
give the impression of no scrolling (considering that
the standard scroll is 2 pixels). i think this is how
the bed in the master bedroom is.
thanks for
any help in advance.
