Concepts (Channel F)
A downloadable game
A collection of concept ideas or demos mostly as I was starting out. I've only included a few things, because the others are absolutely awful.
Pixelmove is a very basic file for showing how to move an 'object' on the screen, it stores location, awaits movement on the controller, removes the last instance and then places a new graphic in the new position.
Platform is a demo of a potential side scrolling platformer, though its currently in very early stages. I have a number of issues to rectify on this before it becomes a usable game (namely, the ability to load further up a level without it looking up random bytes of data).

This is a rom file for the Fairchild Channel F
Methods to play on real hardware is limited, if you are able to do this you already know how
Otherwise, there is a number of emulators that can use this file, including versions of Mess / Mame, and also FreeChaF on RetroArch, though compatibility with all emulators cannot be guaranteed.

Like the platform.bin, how much can it be up-sized before running too slow?
I think it can be easily doubled, but wondering if x4 or more will be too much.
I did take a look at the code the other day but because I coded it from scratch rather than using blit and plot it'll take me awhile to adjust it!
I still need to sort it out so it can reach the end without trouble too, I'll see if I can give it a go this week.
No hurry.
Haha, I actually did just split the level into two labels and it did the trick, I did that a couple of weeks ago but haven't uploaded it.
So now you can go from beginning to end without the yars effect.
I have been looking at 3x3 and 4x4 size tiles I just haven't got round to it yet, I was hoping to try and differentiate the tiles so they look unique but I think that will take some more work or a new system.
Sounds interesting, is this something you'll eventually update?
Yes, probably most likely in the next 6 weeks (as I don't usually work as much during school holidays!) want to go through a lot of stuff and get it done. I might even stretch out to some other consoles too like the G7000 as I've been meaning to get a game out on that for awhile!
