Huh. Just tried the new version and I still can't start the game. I do feel like I remember reading somewhere about the auto joypad read timing not being emulated properly, now that I think about it. Are you sure your vBlank takes enough time? That's the only idea I've got... EDIT: Saving a piece is...

Thank you very much for the Tetris game. I've played a lot of Tetris and yours is one of the few variations on the game I've actually found enjoyable. It's challenging! All I need is save-piece and instant-drop buttons and I could have tons of fun with it. I also wasn't able to make Elevator Madness...

That would be my suggestion. You can still have a single list of objects, to keep all the spawning and common routines working normally without duplicated code, but you could have linked lists of specific object types. A variable indicates the slot of the first enemy. Inside that slot, a byte indic...

Honestly, I've found few things more frustrating in old games than having to wait for a missed bullet to disappear before you can fire another one... I am avoiding that at all costs. That said my projectiles don't also usually despawn on impact, you can run and pick them back up. I've thought it wou...

Just want to say thank you guys for creating this thread. I build an object-handling engine in my game recently (then re-built it all to run on the direct page), and it's now working beautifully. I see how WLA is such a pain in the ass now though. If I try to do something like "LDA $0000+obj0XP...

Meanwhile I'm thinking we should have an entire separate forum exclusively for arguing about which console is better, just so that people like Stef can pick their fights there and we can spend our time here focusing on how to actually get things done... We've had 20 years to fight about which one is...

Ah, okay, I remember now. I did download the latest from that page, I've been using "Version 9.5 of WLA DX based on revision 8 of the code in SVN with extra magic by William Jones (02-Nov-2013)." Mostly because I can't say no to 'extra magic'. I will file a report sometime after I've had s...

Huh. The version of wlalink.exe I have is almost five times larger than the one you linked, and your wla-65816 is smaller too. Tried running it with the code you posted in wla.bat, and wlalink crashed somehow... Wish I could tell you where I got the version I've been using from. Was possibly one of ...

One think that's always amazed me is that no one has tried to make a port of Sonic the Hedgehog on the SNES... (It's easily doable.) I am also surprised, considering I've just personally made a platformer modeled after the Sonic engine. I'm going in a different direction with it, but it wouldn't ta...

I found it unique and enjoyable, but I never thought it lived up to the hype. The homing laser makes almost the entire game trivial. I had more fun playing Sonic (and also more fun learning how Sonic was made).

Please, by all means, go off topic. I'd never have created this thread in the first place if I'd only actually tested the .w. And I meant it to be more of a multiple-questions thing but by the time I was done ranting about WLA I forgot what else I was going to ask. Anyways. I tried to set up WLA.bat...

Hm. Is there a way to bypass this garbage data problem, while still using WLA? Something other than .INCLUDE? (Other than just put all my code in one text file) I'm also not sure how you get a listing file in the first place. The wla setup I'm using just creates then deletes a .prj and an .obj file,...

Ah, I see what you mean. I, uh, guess I just got used to that behaviour...

Okay, thank you 93143, the .w fixed it. I thought I tried that already, maybe I didn't hit save or something... I guess I will be sticking with WLA for the time being. The one huge (and I mean HUGE HUGE HUGE) advantage ca65 has over WLA DX is that it's listing generation mode *actually works*, while...

I wanted to ask some things and I can't find an appropriate thread for it so here's one. I hate WLA. I can't find any real documentation of its syntax and it gives me problems trying to get the right opcode in constantly. All I know about it I've learned by example. I hear everyone saying to switch ...
