@garypinkett.bsky.socialNeeded a little break from Space Pizza this weekend, and I've been itching to try coding a pinball engine for the #ZXSpectrumNext.
It’s still far, far from perfect, but I think it's a pretty good start!
As much fun as this little detour has been, it's back to business as usual now :)
@garypinkett.bsky.socialWhile building a laboratory level I realised I could have some fun with mechanics that push the player around by adding 2 parameters to the object (push speed + distance) which I can then easily tweak in the tilemap editor :)
@bubblegumyeti.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyPff got so many side projects up and running.... but I need to return to my SteamDeck Dungeon Crawler game AND the Spectrum Next is coming and I promised people to do a 3D dungeon crawler for that. Going to be a busy winter. #zxspectrumnext
@jamiemallender.bsky.socialTime to start a new track for Cavern Games’ Rei-Gun - an epic arcade shooter coming to the Spectrum Next on the Technoshed label. Link will be available on my Patreon and for YouTube Channel Members before the show. #sinclairspectrum #zxspectrumnext #videogamecomposer #retrogaming #zxspectrum
@garypinkett.bsky.socialJust finished a new ice-themed level for spacepizza.co.uk
It's a bit evil, but with concentration, good timing and remembering you have a shield to use, it’s beatable😅
Will this level be a "fun challenge" or "this has ruined my day, piss off Gary"😂

@rcl.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gyMy adventure into the RGB display on the #ZXSpectrumNext continues. Borrowing from the technique known as Gigascreen on the classic #ZXSpectrum, I was able to add 7 halftones to 3-bit RGB components by alternating pixels between frames. They are […]

@atomicwindmill.com@garypinkett.bsky.social has been busy again adding some more features to #SpacePizza for the #ZXSpectrumNext currently in development.
Check out the video on our YouTube channel to see more.
@garypinkett.bsky.socialOne teeny tiny video to showcase 3 recent additions to spacepizza.co.uk
* Falling ice
* Obligatory extra points and extra live collects
We have a few more levels left to build/tweak, music to add and some more playtesting but it's so close!
@rcl1024.bsky.socialQuasi-RGB mode for the #ZXSpectrumNext by abusing the layer mixing - one LoRes BBBB pixel gets mixed with four RRRRGGGG Layer2 pixels. This still cannot overcome 3:3:3 gamut of course.

@rcl.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy#ZXSpectrumNext only has paletted video modes, but it can add enabled layers. And just like you can change the palette with the copper, 256 color limit doesn't apply to the final output.
So, if you split the image into an RRRRGGGG 256 color palette […]
@condact.xyzFor those that don't like navigating GitHub, there's now a website for NextDAAD and creating text adventures for the #ZXSpectrumNext. Easy to find downloads, documentation and the first in a series of tutorials - setting up a development environment to make text adventures for the Spectrum Next.
