Cough, Cough, is this thing on?
It’s been a while since my last post on here, and I’ve not done a lot of coding since the last post, in fact I’ve not done much coding for a while. I have been asked by WinterMute and dovoto to assist them in a little project for the homebrew community, but I can’t really say too much about this yet. Lets just say I’m learning new things about word press that I never wanted to know but it’s giving me some idea’s about this little blog of mine, which initially was only a temporary solution until I got off my ass and coded a site of my own.
Yesterday I was clearing out some old rubbish and found a couple of old Your Sinclair magazines from 1992/93, in these magazines was a small type in game called Pathetic Pablo Bros – it was mainly to show people how to code on the Spectrum 48K/128K but the game was a very simple platform game, that would run with a little modification (from basic to C) on the DS. I started to write up a document on what I was doing each step of the way, so that I could possibly do a write up / mini tutorial for other people, that little document ended up being the tutorial, and I’ve split it into 3 parts, one part for each of the parts from the magazine series, and I might write a follow up detailing the translation from a ZX Spectrum game to a full fledged DS game with enemies (possibly, I don’t know YET), scrolling levels, and using sprites instead of the tile engine for the graphics. Anyway look out for a new Tutorials page appearing soon-ish.
