Parallax engine for 8-bit Atari

[Mariusz_Wlodarczyk]

No pięknie wygląda i działa ta paralaksa! Ale jeszcze bardziej mnie zachwyciła ilość kolorów na ekranie. Gdybym nie znał możliwości Atari 8-bit to patrząc na ten film powiedziałbym, że to jakiś 16-bitowiec. No rewelacja! Duże brawa! 👍

Very very nice! Reminds me of shadow of the beast as someone has mentioned already.

[henrikfisch]

Absolute incredible. All thumbs up! :)

This is certainly a nice effort and good to see it up and running. I do know it's so easy to criticise - but I guess the so-called negative comments - are from those wanting to see this demo demonstrating the best possible... My only comment is that the graphics are not punchy enough to impress. I know it's not easy to top the Atari Robot and Spaceship demo - but it's something we all like to see - superceded. The graphics designs and animations in that are so top-rate - I doubt if anyone can top that? A demo is not the same as something doable for a game application - that a game requires resources available for it to be a game - whereas a demo usually leaves nothing left to make a game possible. This coming from someone who's not a programmer, etc.

Siema...normalnie MEGA! Super kolorystyka, pozdro:)

I hope this nice engine will be used for a game!

Mając taki silnik można budować całe stosy gier. Powyższy przykład zachęca do powstania gry pt : "Polski człowiek".
Obsługa gry - nie robimy nic, patrzymy dokąd zmierza pan Polak. W umysłach snujemy nadzieję już nawet nie pozytywnego ale jakiegokolwiek zakończenia, lecz ono nie nadchodzi.
Gra ponoć ma koniec, ale nikt jej jeszcze nie skończył.

This is what The Shadow Of The Beast on the Atari, should have looked like.

Intryguje mnie ta gradientowa ramka, ale ślicznie to wygląda i technicznie i dobór kolorów.

[Arturr]

Świetnie, masa kolorów. Płynny ruch bardzo dobrze zrobione. Myślę że mogła by być to dobra baza do gry w stylu mario.

[Plastron]

What graphics mode is this please? In the later 80’s when I was programming I would have never thought this possible
Thanks

Shadow of the beast na Atari powstaje? :)

[perinoid]

So now it's time to implement a Silkworm port!

[wildthing]

Insane. Three years on, where is full game on cartridge to buy?

[artura]

Super!!! Byłoby fajnie gdyby autor udostępnił kod z opisem jak takie miodne rzeczy robić. Ale to już autora decyzja. Szacun i pozdrowienia.

It would be nice to see the commented source code for this.

Seems, something will never change. The definition of "Engine" is already misleading. It is no "engine" it is a demonstration. "Engine" might imply that this could EVOLVE into a game. It looks great from the image, but the protagonist isn't even jumping, or doing rolls or else. Also the "enemies" are just a scrolling layer, and the music, well, it is somehow reminding of a stereo pokey. But a stereo Pokey would cost 20% CPU as well. If someone want to make a game like "Shadow of the Beast" or just Green Beret", might need a 8MHz 6502.
