There are a lot of programs I want to write.
- Common Ground
- Fractal plotter
- Reenigne
- Foundry
- Multiple scrollbars
- Lensing editor
- Sonic head tracking
- Vocalsynth
- Modular emulator
UnityALFE language- Rings of teleportation renderer
- Demo machine
- NTSC decoder
- Sampling keyboard
Which of these do you, my blog readers, think I should work on? Comment below to vote. I don't promise to abide by your decision, though.
There are also a number of projects I have wanted to work on in the past but which aren't currently inspiring me for various reasons:
- Digger (plus Styx and Sopwith) - I now think that emulation rather than remastering is the best solution for these old games.
- CRTC emulation and other MESS work - superceded by the Modular Emulator and NTSC decoder.
I think you should emulate Digger! I stubbled on your digger.org site and noticed there hasn't been any updates in quite sometime. Good luck!
Thanks, Michael! My emulator isn't high on my list of projects at the moment but you never know when I'll get inspired.
Hi mate!
This is a longshot but can you give me some clues about how the areafilling logic works in styx? It's been on my mind fo years now but have notreally solved it :)
Cheers,
Anders
Hi Anders,
I never decompiled that part of the code, but I think it just uses one of the standard flood fill algorithms.
