PRC2 : Day 9 : Even more Game #2 Blog
13th March 2009
BAH!! DS Coding is annoying!!
Techy stuff inside..
-=-=-

OK, here's the deal.
I have a scrolling wraparound map.
Usually, I'd draw the map*9, so there's central map, and 8 surrounds.. Then, when you hit a map edge, flip the player to the other side, and carry on.

Now, because this is the DS, I've had to make a single scrolling map, and move without flipping the player (because that causes all manner of annoying twitches on the DS.)

This works.
And, is working!

But the sprites are a different matter.
I only have 128 sprites available, so the simple "sprites duplicated" technique won't work.
Also, if I try shifting them around the player, they seem to have this bizarre flopping-around behaviour.
I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm working on it..
..
gradually!

Hopefully Game#2 will be done by tomorrow!!
