Game Developers Refuge

So, a user from another forum has been able to create an experimental port of my current Vircon32 emulator to web browsers, by compiling with Emscripten. Here you can see it working on a phone. https://s11.gifyu.com/images/SQTNb.gif Meanwhile I have been able to make some progress on porting the emu...

It took some time, but the Mahjong game for Vircon32 is finally finished. As usual, you can download it at the website , and the code is on GitHub . I think I've polished it quite a bit. It has 4 layouts to choose from, and every game is guaranteed to be winnable. You can also ask for hints and ther...

Well I'm not explicitely planning on that but I guess it could be done. Someone could plug into the console some kind of mouse device that, each frame, encodes its movements into gamepad presses. Then on the other end you could make a program that decoded those presses into cursor movements.

One game that I would like to have is your typical Mahjong pair matching game. I found a free licensed tileset on itch.io that I liked, and I adapted it to the console resolution. I had to do a lot of editing by hand but I think it looks pretty good. https://i.ibb.co/hmS0kT4/Mahjong-Tileset-2-X.png ...

These days I've been slacking a lot, but I've also been making some progress for the future physical prototype of the console. In this video I tell you about it. As in previous videos: my comments are in Spanish but there are English captions available.

Any updates on this? The Out-run style demo was looking mighty fine. Hi, sorry. I didn't come over here in a while. I didn't do that explanation video on the racer demo, but there are news on other fronts. I released a Tetris game. I had to hide the video and change the game's name, since The Tetri...

I wanted to begin showing some more advanced stuff, like pseudo 3D effects or mode 7. I've been preparing this OutRun-style demo: https://i.ibb.co/YZV8mF2/3-DRacer-Demo-Straight.gif https://i.ibb.co/Fx3ZbwC/3-DRacer-Demo-Curve.gif For the moment this is just going to be a technical demo, in fact the...

Even though I have been pushing updates to GitHub, it has been 6 months since I last made releases to download. So, I have uploaded the new versions: Vircon32 emulator v23.1.16 Vircon32 dev tools v23.1.16 The emulator is now virtually "final". It includes fixes for all known bugs, and adds...

I'm wondering how the diamond button layout would work out. While this maps to the gamepad nicely, most arcade games around here use a staggered layout. I'm trying to remember if I've played any with that layout (I probably have lol). I know it may look a bit weird. The thing is (I mention this in ...

Wow; these look amazing. Really impressive! :] Glad you like them! ;) Also, I have uploaded to GitHub the last pending spec document: part 8 (external elements) . For a reference, the full specification (all 9 documents, removing covers and filler) is 170 pages. You may be wondering why it is so lo...
