Yes, song #14 from the Gunbuster soundtrack called "Kiki" is inspired by Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War".

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

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

#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.

Arkanoid/Gameplay

Trying to analyse arcade Arkanoid for my new MSX2 port I bumped into this page that explains a lot already of how the game is supposed to work. Now back to fixing ball deflection #arkanoid #msx2 #arcade #gamedev #retro strategywiki.org/wiki/Arkanoi...

Context menu copies sprite pattern to clipboard by pvmm · Pull Request #1902 · openMSX/openMSX Mirrors the context menu that copies tile patterns and colours to the clipboard.

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.
