No Screenshots

Ok no screenshots today, and it's been 5 days since the last update. It's been a pretty long week around the home trying to catch up on mundane chores and keeping the kiddys happy.
I spent the precious downtime I had on working on some graphics for a mock up of the Retroromicon splash screen - nothing worth showing yet, and some split off code projects that I'll need, not only for Scramble, but for everything - sound and music.
Not my forte, and not something I've done much of in the past (apart from the obligatory protracker music include).

I managed to get some PT Replay source going using the CIA timer rather than vbl - took a bit of futzing and some reading (the source I had was pretty vague in the instruction area), making it case sensitive to fit in with my own code, making some changes to play nice with my includes. So far it SHOULD slot into my framework pretty well.

I also played around some waveforms and playback code - I was always partial to the Fairlight demo group low 'thrumm' sound effect on their splash screens - so I think I'll do something similar for my own Retroromicon screen before the music kicks in for the main splash.

Today though, it's back to bomb code - when I have something a little more substantial I'll put up a screen shot.

Cheers.
Sig.
