Juan<p>Not super exciting, but this is the basic idea!</p><p>I thought the power ups will be provided by these slightly stronger enemies that will appear a few times per stage.</p><p>The power ups are color encoded: blue, green and red; which I'm not completely sure for accessibility reasons.

LFA :emacs: :tux: :freebsd:<p>I'm talking about Europe here.<br>In the 80s there was a sucessful wave of 8bit computers: ZX Spectrum, Commodore C64, MSX, Amstrad CPC 664, some of them more succesfull than others, but the next 8bit wave IMHO was far from successful.: Spectrum 128/+2, Sinclair QL, Commodore C128, MSX2,...

Juan<p>A bit rough and WIP, but it is almost there. Pew-pew and boom!</p><p>There's a bug in the sprite allocator. You can see it in action in the last wave (one of the enemies looks funny). Will find it and fix it. In fact, there was a couple of "side quests" when I was implementing this 😅 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/msx2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>msx2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a></p>
Juan<p>So that's 2 sprites per entity (excluding the bullets that are a single sprite). Total: 24 sprites for the enemies, plus 2 for the player (fixed and out of the flicker), plus whatever bullets I fired there. Up to the 32 sprites of the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MSX2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSX2</span></a>, looks like this is it.</p><p>And the scroll is smooth and stable 🎉 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a></p>

Juan<p>It flickers!</p><p>The thing is that the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MSX2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSX2</span></a> can draw up to 8 sprites in the same line, and any sprites after that aren't visible. So you need to make them "flicker".</p><p>It is not cycling over all the sprites and only making flicker 2 of them (the excess over 8 times 2); because how the sprites colours are managed on sprite type 2 in MSX2, it would be too expensive. In the video the spinning enemies are 2 sprites each (making an OR to get 3 colors).</p><p>There's still some work to do, but getting there!</p>
