i really do love vector-games very much....
after finishing the online-kit for asteroids, i could not resist to add some nice "features" (i grew up in the atari st demo-scene)
i thought...if you have to wait until the kit is online...you can show something :)
have look here: :arrow:

and it's proven... mame really sucks!

That's is awesome! :o
Love the scrolling text + vectors... like the good old fashion time of 'intro/demo' on ST/AMIGA :o :-* ..in addition of the high score feature of course!
(where's the star field effect by the way? ::) ;) )
I love your stuff all the way! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Top work!
How can I buy one of your DK kits? Tell me where to send the money!!!!!

Great stuff. Did you make some design work in advance on mame?

(where's the star field effect by the way? ::) ;) )
hehehe - a 3d starfield was the first i did, but i couldn't make the "fake 3d" look good.
and forcing the beam from star to star (for only 1 point) is taking a lot of "time" ;)
i was (or am) also thinking about a star-wars scroller ;)

Great stuff. Did you make some design work in advance on mame?
the programming is completely in mame - usually i change the game-driver source code for my needs (more rom, more ram, serial eeprom)
most of the time the emulation is good enough (no big difference can be seen)
but e.g. on asteroids it was completely different.
i programmed the avg straight away...something like...beam, go to position 100,100...draw a line to 200,200..and so on..
this works on mame..but not on the real thing... because the beam needs some time to go to the position..that is why (on asteroids) they added an "draw a not seen point vector" after the "go to" command that the beam has enough time to go there.
another thing difference is: if you draw a lot of text all around the screen, the beam needs a lot of time to draw it... on mame no flickering can be seen, on the real thing it starts to flicker because the refresh-rate goes down
but i must also admit: without mame - the developing would not be that easy!
Not only is the text scrolling, i see some familiar names passing !

hehehe, these are the greetings - like in the oldschool demos :-)

Wow, now I know what you were talking about in your emails....this turned out reallly great!! :spaceace:

This is really really really really really really AWESOME :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Wow! Any chance this will work on Asteroids Deluxe??

afair it is nearly the same hardware. instead of the analog vector generator it is a digital vector generator.
with some modifications - it will work.
(and i am planning to do a kit for dx as well)

Wohoo, I would definitely buy one!! The rotating ship looks awesome! Maybe you could add AD inside it? Depending on how much space there is in the ram..

What is this sorcery you are all talking about
:o

Fantastic!

Always dreamed of being on these screens, I remember reading the names forever BITD!
Thank you!!!

Very cool indeed! I would be interested in a Centipede kit. :)

Is it possible to personalize a kit with f.i. a name or short text? As an example, my Phoenix HS and attract screen kit adds the text 'pearl in Erik' s gameroom' to the title screen.
-
everything IS possible...
in the new kits i included the possibility to change the copyright message, there could be a "custom" one as well.
i just need to progam the "edit-custom-message function"
(like in robotron afair)
-
AMAZING !!!
I love it! :-* :-* :-*

That would be very cool, your work gets more amazing every day.

Can you make it that I can go to a website and change Erik's custom text from anywhere in the world? I have some ideas.
