Updated, optimisation should be better and CGA colours are much better

Jurl is "running" on CGA, EGA and VGA.  It's not perfect and there are some performance issues, especially on EGA. I don't know how bad because i've only been able to test on DosBox so far.

CGA is awful, I need to tweak the colours

Currently porting my game Jurl across to DOS, quite a bit of progress (unsurprisingly, i've ported it to 30 odd platforms already so the logic is pretty portable), probably around 60% done, next steps:

• Finish porting across
• Need to work on performance, running it on an emulated 8088 and even 286 it's just too slow.
• Proper support for SoundBlaster, it "works" but the code is very dodgy
• Fix CGA support.  I've got EGA and VGA working but CGA is quite broken
• Support for GamePort joystick

Thanks, it's a little delayed but still planned

Cheers

Cheers

thanks

Ah, unfortunately it appears that Godot 4.5+ needs SSE4.2

Interesting ... maybe I can tweak that

Added one, I don't have a good way of testing it though

I'll give it a try

thanks

Yeah, at the moment the horizontal movement is fixed to 8 blocks, i'm working on changing that

Oddly enough, that's what i'm experimenting with now

Thanks for asking, I don't think it's good enough at this point.  Maybe when i'm finished it

Thanks ... good idea

No

Ok, i'll take a look at that

AH, thanks - it's supposed to limit to 8 - I may have accidentally disabled that when I was experimenting with virtual sprites

That's a tough one, the Speccy version is dear to my heart because it's the machine I grew up with.  But I think the Neo Geo Pocket version is probably up there or the Jaguar version which looked like it wasn't going to happen for quite a while but turned out well.

Most versions do have the thrust animation, some don't because I ran out of graphic space

Not at the moment, there's something weird with the disk image and how i'm loading the custom font that stops it working.  The game DOES load and run, but it's sluggish and is missing all the text. But i'll be working on that

hopefully by the end of the year

A few people have asked about that on other versions, it makes sense given the PC edition has a timed speed-run mechanic.  So i've added it in v0.5.  Thanks

If i'm not working i'll be there

I don't think it's good enough to warrant that, but thanks for the offer

Sure

That is not accidental :D

Sure, added

Cheers matey, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for the bug report, i'll get on it.  And yes, I need to work on the instructions a lot more.

No, sorry. I'm not a fan of the people behind The Spectrum and, as such, am not interested in anything connected, even slightly, to their systems.

Thanks for asking though.

Thanks

Thanks, i'll take a look

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
