IRF Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Andy, I've just noticed (for the first time(!) the 'Manic Miner Updated' version in the 'Downloads' section. A couple of queries: 6. There is no bonus life awarded every 10,000 points any more. Does that mean that the 'Screen Flash' effect no longer takes place when the player accumulates 10,000 points? Or does that still occur, but without an extra life being granted? 7. Minor detail: The scrolling message was slowed down a fraction so its more readable. How exactly did you achieve the slowing down of the scrolling message? Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Andy, I've just noticed (for the first time(!) the 'Manic Miner Updated' version in the 'Downloads' section. :D Does that mean that the 'Screen Flash' effect no longer takes place when the player accumulates 10,000 points? Or does that still occur, but without an extra life being granted? Correct its not called, well almost not. Although the 'counter check' is still performed. Let me explain: The check is simply a: CPx In this version I changed that to CP41 (100,000 points) before it triggers vs the original of CP42 (10,000 points) , figuring not many players will score that high and those that do will probably appreciate the extra life. So in most cases there are no extra lives given. :) Setting it to 43 gives a new live every 1000 points ;) Note that this is listed in the dissasembly as address 37102/37103 but the said listing is for the Bug-Byte version. This one is the Software Projects one, so its in a slightly different place, it is at 37113/37114 How exactly did you achieve the slowing down of the scrolling message? Increased the delay loop counter for the speed: LD BC , xx LD BC , 150 in this version vs the original code in both versions of LD BC , 100 Its at 34401/34402/34403 (Bug-Byte version) In this version (Software Projects) it is at 34407/34408/34409 Edit... Coloured each version (BB vs SP) appropriately to make it easier to read. Edited September 28, 2016 by Spider IRF and jetsetdanny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
