I don't know who created this, but it's kinda accurate. 🤣

Top image: western mecha are military vehicles like tanks with chicken legs attached to it or a refrigerator with amphibian legs attached to it.
Bottom imagem: Japanese mecha are armoured humanoid figures with angel or butterfly wings.

I created a profiler with some lines of Tcl script thanks to OpenMSX new Trace Viewer. It's easy to use and doesn't require the programmer to insert INs and OUTs in his code, so it works with old ROMs too. #openMSX #msx #tcl #debugging #gamedev #profiler #homebrew #8bit

The animated "power pill" (with an "OR-colour" palette) is made of two sprites. #msx #8bit #msx2 #arkanoid #gamedev #retrogames #openMSX

An OpenMSX debug window displays two combined sprites (in a 3-colour result using OR-colour combinations) for an animated "Slow" energy pill.

#Gaurodan is out! The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system. Music by @gryzor87.bsky.social ♫ Info and downloads at locomalito.com

github.com/openMSX/open... following up on the last improvement, I created some context menus that copy sprite pattern and colours too. Yet another nail to the old debugger coffin, I hope.
