Kees van Oss Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I started a Manic Miner conversion for the Acorn Atom but got stuck in the collision routines. After a lot of unsuccessful attemps, I decided to stop this conversion for now. However ... I do like converting games so I started to convert Jet Set Willy. This is looking very promising and the game is already working. There are still a few things to do like adding sound, and decent testing. The animation is looking terrible on Youtube but is good on a real Atom Greetings Kees van Oss https://youtu.be/DqhyjmYD540 Edited November 17, 2015 by Kees van Oss zub and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsetdanny Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Good job, Kees! :) I am always impressed by people being able to do such things, as they are well beyond my abilities. Two comments on the non-technical side. The spelling of "Jet Set Willy" at the very beginning of the scrolling message: "Jetset" - is this for any special reason? I've seen "Jet Set" spelled as two separate words, both starting with a capital letter, or "Jet-Set" with a hyphen, but not the way it is in your conversion. The other thing is also about spelling. The first letter in the first word in room names seems to be always small, while the remaining words in room names begin with capitals. Is there any special reason for this? Just thought I would give you some "constructive" feedback. Good luck with the development of "Jet Set Willy" and I hope one day you will be able to complete the "Manic Miner" conversion as well :) . And if you need someone for playtesting, let me know! Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kees van Oss Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Daniel, I didn't change the original text so it probably is introduced in the Electron conversion, but this is easy to change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmzGzYMH6kM Well ..... you spotted one of the TODO things on my list ;) For some reason the first roomname letter is small in the Atom version while in the Electron version it is a capital. Haven't found the bug yet but first I have to find out how the roomname encryption works to adjust this. I will release this version soon for testing. Thanks for the "constructive" feedback ... :) Greetings Kees Edited November 18, 2015 by Kees van Oss Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
