What is the advantage of going with assembly instead? Is it simply faster at runtime, or is dealing with compilation for the NGPC a hassle that makes going with assembly more convenient?
When I got my Bung flash unit, I was only aware of a free assembly cross compiler that produced TLCS-900/H, that's why I picked assembly.
I know there's a C compiler, but I never tried to use it.
Moreover, I thought Assembly to be more instructive regarding hardware functions.
I can see your reasoning there. I finally got my Flashmasta and got to try out the game on the NGPC hardware. Here is what I thought of it:
- Graphics are clear and attractive
- Controls do really need some work. I found them to be very "jumpy"; my tetrominoes would typically move two spaces over when I wanted it to move only one.
- I think that the pieces should be able to rotate at the edge of the screen? Right now they get stuck on it and you have to move over to continue rotating.
-There should be a way to set the difficulty level before beginning a game.
Anyhow, thanks for the interesting game!
