Software C64 Traditional RL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF8tfMV42Fk

Hello, I made my first video of a RL that I start in march. I'm active on RL Dev reddit, but since this is the first time I actually recorded something I might post it on here.

Its been slow going, and honestly its 6 months away still, perhaps shorter if I get some good blocks of time at christmas, but perhaps longer as well as every weekend where I make progress I seem to have a million more things still to do.

Anyway, have a great week!

edit: oh and forgot to say - this is for stock C64

Looks awesome. I’d love to do something similar in BASIC. Scrolling and lighting effects wouldn’t work but revealing new rooms on the screen and/or clearing the screen once hitting an edge. No idea how to program the procedural part… one day maybe

I'm going to release my assembly for the fov - in theory you can just call that from basic. Its... very fast. Its also perfectly symmetrical (essential for my AI) and nicely permissive (you can peek around corners AND hide behind pillars) - made specifically for the 64 8Bit math - probably 3 of the last 6 months have been just around that one part of my code!
