Game Engine Building #5: Background Compression

Mario's Right Nut — 2015-05-09T07:21:02 -05.00

Hello,

After having extracted it, I can drag and drop the file "Background compression" and open it in my emulator (fceuxd sp) as if it was a NES file (actually there's no extension) but no way to get ONLY the source code.

How can i get it ?

Thank you.

Yeah, you have to be signed in in order to see attached files, so if you happen to visit the site on multiple devices or when not logged in, just make sure to double check later. I missed a lot of stuff due to this at first.

Oh, and congrats on getting to the point of at least looking into this particular tutorial, it is one of my favorites and has made a huge impact in my own projects, particular when combined with the lesson on attribute handling (week 8 I believe).

It's all in the zip file attached to the OP, right?

Hi MRN.

Edit- nevermind. I re-read the post and it answered by question.

I've got a system in place where I think I'm stuck with 16 metatiles per group, so I might look into using a better setup.

FOR SHAME!!! I can't believe that no one figured it out!!

I just figured out what the freaking bug was in this program. I didn't push/pop the registers during NMI. How retarted. Anyway, for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you need to add:

PHA ;protect the registers
TXA
PHA
TYA
PHA

right after the "NMI" start. And then add:

PLA ;restore the registers
TAY
PLA
TAX
PLA

right before you do the "RTI" at the end of NMI. See my other write ups for details. Then it should work.

This technically fits into the space of "Number 5", like Johnny, in my Game Engine Building series. So, if you're following along, re-read it...nicely.
