I already commented on the FB post, but I got to say it again - amazing!
How are you implementing all the rules/game-logic? Is the original game reverse-engineered so you have something to work from?
And the bitmap+sprite overlay does a splendid job with the graphics, nice to see what can be done when 50 fps isn't a requirement! |

I spent 4 months in IDA Pro disassembler disassembling the DOS version and reimplemented it in Java and iOS. Years later ScummVM did the same so it’s a good reference to double check when I find my own sources weird. Though most often in those cases it has been bugs in the original. |

Regarding the bitmap, yes I’m amazed myself. Initially I had plans to let opaque chars to use the overlay also giving 3 variable and 4 global colors per char but it ate twice the memory natrually and was much slower to render. |

Personally, this is a work of art. Coding that UI stuff is a nightmare and making it that smooth (also the quality of the gfx) is very good to say the least.
Congrats! |

Thank you for the kind words! The UI is not so much a nightmare to code. It’s rather simple and straight forward but the sheer amount of it and the fact that it’s utterly boring makes it extremly tedious to do. I have UI stuff on the top of my todo. I just want to be finished with it asap. Sooooon done (working on the camp menu now)! |

Around 800kb (still no intro, ending or chargen) but all other data is in. About 1kb ram left. |

So there's 200kb left, that should be plenty! |

Should be ok. I want to reserve 64kb for a quick slot save game though, but I might give the user to ditch the intro if they want to use the quick save option. We'll see. |
