thanks for the encouragement!

actually TriggerHappy and Sprint are two different titles.

Sprint is the one posted here. It will be a racing game.

As for TriggerHappy... that's top secret for now.

(I'll leave it up to ice88 if wants to tell ya - it's his baby, I'm just along for the ride)

Triggerhappy has a titel that atleast triggers my bloodlust. Maybe you would be intrested in some _heavy_ psy-trance to the game?

anyways, ice88 please tell me more about this game..

And the game Sprint looks like crazy cars (or something like that) to the good ol' amiga 500.. i loved that game so i'm gonna get it as soon at its released

Was that pun intentional?

thanks for the kind words

We thought long and hard about the title before sticking with that one. (Mortar Kombat was another consideration). There's a few clues: zaniness and guns.

How big should the loops be then? a five second loops isn't that hard to make, a bit repative also.. a Flat Eric style of song?

Cursors = D-PAD, left and right turn.

A = A button
Z = B button
X = X button
S = Y button

(wierd, I know!)

KosINE is good for what I'm doing - but it doesn't have much function, just enough to let me test things on the PC.

Well its brill ian KosINE . Your Game is looking good Are you thinking of 4 player games that would be a big plus. I dont know why on my pc the Cursors keys are not making it turn ..

Glad the standard has gone up nice to see real progress great job so far ian.

Good luck geting the game play frantic and fun could nab you the victory!

OH what does F1 key do it sort of goes fullscreen?

YES ! "Rally Speedway Challenge" (C64 1984) is coming to DC

amazing! i can test the tiles i've just made!

Warmtoe · Post by **Warmtoe** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 11:47 am

qw3rty - never played the C64 game - but some kind of driving thing is coming!

Merkoth - if you test your tiles out, super cool - we can be a little more creative with the track - all tiles can be fully rotated.

One snag you may hit is that the PNGs need to be saved 24-bit with alpha channel - if not you get horrible black squares around everything!!!!! So if you get nasty looking overlaps... that'll be the problem.

Drop me a link to your tiles if you like!

Merkoth · Post by **Merkoth** » Fri Nov 14, 2003 1:28 pm

you know what? i made a new tileset, but i forgot to make the textures cyclic, so the track looks "funny". another thing: the tilesets mus be 256x256 because i made a nice splash screen in 640x480 so, do i have to separate the tiles? and (finally) could you explain me the *.lyr format?

tilesets must be 256x256.

The splash-screen doesn't need to be 256x256 - and doesn't need to be split up, it can be loaded as a single image - not a problem.

Ugh! The .lyr format - it's complicated! When I have time I'll document it - drop me a line and I'll take a look at your work, thanks for doing it too!
