Maintenant sur PC avec les émulateurs come Mame il est possible de rejouer a tous ces vieux jeux a scrolling vertical comme "1942" par exemple. Et il y a des équivalents plus modernes sortis sur le consoles 3D comme "Ikaruga" sur Dreamcast, et maintenant il n'est pas rare de voir des jeux de ce type dans la catégorie "Bullet Hell" (ou l'écran est rempli des projectiles a éviter!).

J'ai jeté un coup d'oeil a ta chaine, et j'ai vu le dauphin avec les animations squelette. Perso je ne suis pas "gameplay programmer", moi c'est essentiellement des trucs bas niveau derrière comme l'optimisation mémoire les outils, etc... donc je ne suis pas vraiment la bonne personne pour aider sur ce genre de trucs comme la facon optimale de gérer les caméras dans un jeu en 3D, c'est une science a part entière ! J'ai regardé la vidéo sur GravityAdventure, et ca semble bien avancé, je ne vois pas trop pourquoi tu as tellement de problèmes avec les dauphin, ca semble relativement similaire? Pour les trucs que j'ai vu par contre, il semble que la caméra soit asservie sur le mouvement, alors que je pense que ca marcherais mieux d'avoir la caméra découplée: En gros au lieu de dire "La caméra doit être là", dire "Idéalement la caméra devrais être là et regarder a cet endroit là", et tu imagine la caméra comme dans Mario 64 avc un petit gars sur son nuage qui essaye de suivre les instructions, il bouge son petit nuage vers la position demandée en essayant de garder le sujet visible, et tout ce qui est entre les deux est soit évité soit affiché en transparence: Ca évite les maux de tête avec les caméras qui bougent trop vite et les plantes ou les murs dans le champ de vision. Quand c'est découplé, ca rend plus facile les transitions vers les modes cinématiques (on passe au caméraman numéro deux avec un cross-fade par exemple), et du coup tu peux penser a tes contraintes comme étant une combinaison de ce qui est faisable avec ton caméraman virtuel et ce qui serait idéal pour la visibilité du dauphin. Les caméras 3D dans les plateformers c'est un sujet a part entière, y'a des vidéos et tutoriels complets sur le sujet. Bonne chance :)

Yes you could dream about it, but it would probably work better to ask @JiBePe to take his prototype and transform it into a playable game. You can see the current prototype there: defenceforce.itch.io/wolfenstein-3d

Merci !

Glad you love this, thanks :)

Thanks, much appreciated!

Time and scoring are still one of the domains that needs to be addressed, that being said, when you know what you have to do in the game you have plenty of time to do it (I can finish the game in half the afforded time just doing things that need to be done and without trying to be specially fast. Now you are making me thinking: Should I allow all the images sequences to be bypassed so people can try to speedrun it :D ?

Thanks :) I think the trick is to take your time, listen to feedback, iterate... and have a hard deadline to forces you to actually concentrate on getting the thing finished one day!

Merci, you know, you have the skills to do the equivalent with your ray-caster as well!

@@DbugII No way !! It is totally impossible to reach the same level of accuracy and sharpness in graphics with the raycaster and its fat 3*3 texel. In the Encounter you're remastering, each pixel matters and plays its role. This is great art !! Congratulations

@@JiBePe I'm not saying you can get pixel accuracy, I'm saying you can do a beautifully playable masterpiece in its own genre. Heck, Doom and Wolfenstein had some double and quadruple pixel size options and window resizing to handle slow machines :)

Glad you like it :) That being said, I should probably do a new capture of it of higher quality, KZbin compression has not been nice to 240p content over the years!

Assuming you don't care about the warranty sticker (or if it's already gone), I would suggest opening the machine to check if any of the PSU capacitors are bulging. Also, if you sell it, be extra super careful with how you protect it, the plastic used for the case of the Atari ST has a tendency to become super brittle, it's not uncommon to see them shatter like if they were made of glass. Other than that, a common issue would be floppy drives having troubles due to lack of lubrication, but other than that, it's highly probable the machine still run. If it was stored in a slightly humid location you may have to pop the components on sockets out and in again, sometimes there's a bit of surface corrosion (makes the contacts dull instead of shinny) resulting in bad contacts.

Je commence a gratter des octets pour caser ce qu'il manque :)

@@DbugIIje suppose que tu as déjà réquisitionné l'espace mémoire normalement impartie à la ROM. Si tel est le cas, il ne reste plus qu'à traduire un max de truc en assembleur pour gagner la place sur le code compilé. Je trouve que l'idée d'une ambiance sonore par lieux est excellente. Mais du coup je me demande s'il y aura de la musique et si oui, comment elle va se mixer aux ambiances sonores.

@@JiBePe L'essentiel du jeu est en assembleur et byte-code script. La musique ca sera juste des jingles ici et là pour accompagner les événements importants, d'expérience je sais qu'avoir une chiptune qui joue sans s'arrêter pendant des heures c'est épuisant, donc c'est pas une bonne idée. Techniquement la routine qui rejoue la musique ainsi que les effets sont capables de se partager les trois canaux, donc on peut avoir une musique sur deux canaux et un effet sonore sur le troisième, c'est ce qui est fait dans la séquence avec la machine à écrire.

Merci 😊

@@DbugII je suis aussi ton interlocuteur sur Speed ball sur le forum "Defence force" !

The challenge is to find proper sounds for all the locations, to have some proper ambience without being annoying or too forced. Glad you like it so far!

Actually I did the recording of all 16 interleaves the day before, and you can easily imagine that took some time since I had to do 16 times the same thing: modify the config parameter, compile, convert the DSK to HFE, copy the HFE to a USB key, put the USB key on the Cumana Reborn, reset, press the record button on my video capture, wait a median time of 3 minutes for a full test, plus the time it took to copy and rename each video file, then check the values :D By the time I done most of that, it was time to go to bed, so yesterday all I did was the drawing on CD's, voice over, video export, with dinner in-between :D

It's indeed a very smooth animation, I wish Nox was stil around and/or had made the source code available. He came, released a few things, and then vanished from the scene!

Thanks a lot, now I just need to finish the game and release it 😅

@DbugII Having perused some of your other content, I have no doubt! Great work.

Now what we need is Galdéon 2.0 with the following fixes: - Avoid the background redraw behind the wall columns to improve the frame rate and limits flickering - Items in the maze to either collect or avoid, with full collision handling! - Doors that can be opened and close! With that, this would be a generic enough engine to make more advanced games, like a 3D version of Rax's Wizard's Lair :)

@@DbugII Amongst these suggested changes some were already adressed in game M.VOCID and some were on top of the todo list and not so difficult to do. But the most difficult to answer was : Who is behind the We in the "Now what WE need is Galdéon 2.0" ? Because as I was working on the raycasting engine (and frequently reporting on its progression) I could never met anyone interested in using it for a game. So I reached the conclusion that nobody really needs a raycasting engine on Oric. I must admit that it surprised me a lot because I had thought that it was quite unusual to see this type of things on an Oric computer and then it could have open some new ideas and potentialities. The only moment I could feel an enthousiasm was when I realeased a mini Wolfenstein 3D proof of concept.

​@@JiBePe The main thing is that for an engine to be usable by someone, it needs to do a certain minimal amount of things out of the box, most of the features involving rendering, collisions and interactions, are hard to do by someone who does not know the engine and is not fluent in 3D and 6502 assembler. I double checked M.VOCID (on forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?p=26112&hilit=vocid#p26112) and I did not manage to pick-up the key (I was passing through it without picking it up), and there's a lot of refresh flicker. Regarding Wolfric, it was almost there, but you stopped answering the comments on the forum: forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?p=26854#p26854 With the smaller view it was at playable framerate, nice light effect on the ceiling and floor, even one moving object but we can't interact with it (can't shoot it). All that was needed was to have a weapon somewhere to find, possibility to shoot at some ennemies, and have an exit door to reach. Expectation is a bit like cooking a soufflé: People take a look and wait with high expectations, but ultimately what matters is when they can taste it :) If I was not interested, I would not have made the title picture and the dashboard for the game.

You're welcome... but I guess you commented on the wrong video :D

@@DbugII Oups you're right .. I now understand why I couldn't see my comment The time I write the comment on the Galdéon video and the video had switched to this video.

C'est un nouveau périphérique en cours de développement qui en gros fait Cumulus+Erebus en un seul boitier. Le projet est tout documenté sur ce fil de discussion: forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?t=2593 Là ca a entamé une phase de test avec des préversions du matériel, et ca teste/debug la partie logicielle pour tout ce qui est compatibilité avec les différentes machines mais aussi les différents programmes, gestion de DSK moisis, ou de .TAP un peu compliqué.

@@DbugII Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse. Je vais regarder de ce pas l'appareil en question.

Well, on this specific machine I added a mini jack connector directly on the output of the amplifier, but technically you have access to the audio out on to of the pins on the TAPE connector.

I guess I'll have to try that one of these days :) - Longer music with better quality - In the right direction - With the actual poptart cat (that may be quite a challenge to get it recognizable thougH)

@DbugII ok! And I'm in a holiday so in September 5th or 4th the holiday finishes. But now Its monday 19 august. And I have swimming lessons every Tuesday.

Merci, maintenant il n'y à plus qu'a finir le jeu 😱

I'm sure I could make even worse, but I need some time for that :)

Ces jeux étaient vraiment du type: Tracer une carte, prendre des notes, mourir, recommencer !

I totally get you :) It's difficult to find the balance between keeping people interested and get some word of mouth vs spoiling the entire game!

@@DbugII But I will also be able to enjoy the whole creation series of videos in one big binge watch once I finish the game ;-) So I have that to look forward to!

@@tgphighscoreruns4111 When I'm done with the game, I'll probably do some new videos explaining the changes between the first upgrade attempt and the second one, with a comparison of the two versions (the "new BASIC version on disk" and the "new new version made in C and assembler also on disk") and the reasons for the changes... and probably some more generic stuff not involving code about some of the changes I did to the actual game logic and why.

TC is definitely a title not everybody appreciates in the same way, but I'm glad you do like it, thanks :D

It's a cheap bluetooth speaker on which I added an Oric sticker.

If you search for "Pravetz 8D disk" you find a number of videos showing the system, like that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoLXdqGaoJKAeqc

Thanks, I will try to get a proper game out of it one day, ideally with competitors on the track, more variations on the track itself, and of course sound effects and punchy music :)

Merci :)

I think I managed to capture the essence of the job: If you are stressed or tired and start to play it, you get even more stressed and annoyed by the time you are finished!

You are 100% right, and also I'm hopping I did not damage your vision, the text is barely readable as it is 😱

First thing that comes to mind would be a problem with the cooling system, either some dust, hair, etc... clogging the air vents and reducing the air flow, another possibility could be that the thermal compound between the CPU and the cooling system that could have dried out and not insuring a proper heat transfer. That alone could be causing bluescreens, but would not hurt to also run a full memory check (after you've checked the cooling because that's supposed to run for hours), and also perform a disk scan for any corruption of the filesystem. Good luck!

Thanks, how Exactly do I run a memory check and a disk scan?

I have a broken hinge and I also had difficulties removing the panel that holds the lcd display and power button, it just won't release Any Help?

@@AheadDev There are multiple pieces of software that can do a memory check, it kind of depend of which OS you have installed and if you can boot it. You could try the 32bit USB bootable version from memtest.org Same thing for the disk scan, depends of the operating system, if you have Windows XP you could try that: www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Chkdsk-Function-on-Windows-XP

@@DbugII Thanks!

Same, that's the machine where I learnt programming, the manual was absolutely fabulous!

Well, I'm not the first one to have done that, just that the feature did not work by default with the Oric Arkos player :)

Took a look at a couple videos from that Wizard console, some pretty impressive graphics, a shame that it did not seem to have many games produced for it.

​@@DbugIIVery true. Our win was short lived. Thanks for this venture back in time.
