Hello! What about this amazing project? Is there any possibility to finish it? I was searching for source code but I found only dead links. Somebody could help me find sources for this crazy stuff?
Thx!

I wonder if the CPC version took any inspiration from the C64 source code? Sure it's Z80 vs 6502 but I imagine that some of the ball physics stuff could have been useful. But they might have written everything from scratch as well. |

Darn. What timing. Now I'm sure to be harassed during X16... Aargh!
Looks really nice though! I also wonder what they're doing. Keep in mind they have a faster processor (4mhz) and more memory (128kb) though.. |

Some would argue that a 4MHz Z80 isn't really faster than a 1MHz 6502... |

Something seems off with the ball physics in the CPC version. In WVL's C64 version (and of course the Amiga original) the ball curves smoothly around the ramp bends, but in the CPC version the ball jerks and loses speed. Also when the ball launches it just falls like a dead fish.
Compare:

They've nailed the graphics engine and the music though, so with some physics tweaks it looks like a really nice port.
PS: Mr SID, they'd be wrong, especially if you do 16-bit math and addressing. IIRC a 4 MHz Z80 should have at least 50% more grunt compared to a 1 MHz 6502. |
