Peter FletcherThe sprite sheet for the #AtariST version of Rogue is a thing of beauty.
Many long years ago I wrote a program in GFA BASIC that randomly grabbed the sprites from the Rogue sprite sheet and placed them on the screen. I wanted to add the music from Michael Jackson's Thriller, but I'm not a musician and couldn't manage to do that. Maybe someday I'll figure that out.
Jamie Lendino@Recta_Pete I am a musician and can help either with MIDI or with converting notes to pitches for the YM2149, if you ever get back to it. Just don’t ask me to do the Thriller dance.
@jlendino That would be a fun project
@Recta_Pete anything to take our minds off…*waves vaguely at the dystopia*
HardlyWorgen@Recta_Pete There's got to be an existing MIDI file of thriller out there somewhere. Somebody on an Atari forum should know how to get it play on an ST.
@Recta_Pete It’s so great
bluestarultor@Recta_Pete That font! 🤩
Bill Kendrick@Recta_Pete Except for the coupla lowercase letters with descenders, we could totally steal the font on the Atari 8-bit. Since they're generally 8px tall, we'd need a blank scanline between text lines. 😈
@Recta_Pete Oh wait, they're ALSO 9px wide. Dangit
Yves Luther@Recta_Pete Hi Peter, do you have by chance the Atari 400/800 sprite sheets for Caverns of Mars and Phobos laying around?
@yves Sadly I do not.
