      I think this is the future, decentralization. Since we all have massive internet connections today (and we do!) and insanely powerful computers today (and we do!) there's no reason NOT to bring back protocols after tweaking them a bit.

The reason it flashes is so you can see all the sprites at the same time, but there's not enough memory to show them all at the same time so flashes between them as quickly as possible.

      @@DFX2KX the thing that cranks the difficulty level to "insane" is that:
      - the gamebuino, has a separate LCD with a controller. So you "merely" need to send the bitmap to the LCD and the LCD takes care of displaying it. You can devote 100% of your CPU cycles to the game, and can display any arbitrary bitmap on the screen.
      - this device drives its own display by driving the X and Y coordinate of an oscilloscope. That means that, in addition to the actual game, you need to devote time to constantly redraw the vector figure on the screen. Also, the display is inherently vector. It's possible to display a bit more complex graphics than polygon by imitating a raster scan (e.g.: sprites in PacMan), but that begin to be quite a lot for driving it real time (it's visible in the mario demo when there are way too many tiles on the screen).
      This means that it's going to be too taxing on the hardware to do a full raycasting AND drive the oscilloscope in raster to render the image.
      It's going to be much easier to display a vector rendition of un-textured, wire-frame 3d levels. Hence my reference to 3-Demon. (Which is also more period accurate given the other 8-bit inspired games)

    This video inspired me to make a video game in scratch. I made it on my school chromebook. I coded it, made the music, drew the sprites, and used some articles to find out how to make it work. It does need some changes, but I cannot update the game until September. The game is a lot like the snake game showcased in this video. The game is called Cobra BETA. It has been my biggest project since then. I have a lot of plans for it. Like porting it to mobile, making a full series of it, making a 3d version by making assets based on pre rendered 3d models. The game was originally called Anaconda BETA, and soon I will rename it back to that. I am not really old enough to have a credit card, so I am using whatever resources I can for free.

      I started a game in 2009 and finished it in 2020 :D To be fair it was shelved for most of that time, but it takes ages to draw all the sprites, write the music, create the sound effects and, of course, program the games logic. And that was C++. To do all he's done in assembly is incredible.

    As modern tetris player, aside that you mixed some features of modern games - like das or wallkicks - to your classic tetris (at it seems to be in the load screen) , im very glad that you put the effort to make your game as precise as the original is. I say this because our community see everywhere bad fan copies out there to public because its seems easy to make and there are few developers interested to make games as precise as the originals (the same way you did with all the other copies)
    Lots of congrats for all the games and programs that you've done down in 2014.
    Aside of that, one of my hobbies are electronics too, and i know how many knowledge it means to create a 8 bit computer, write in assembly the bios and the game cartridge... right now im just trying to get involved with more electronics theory for my own knowledge previous to a university carreer, but i manage to understand the size of what you did.
    It would be grateful if i can check the tetris and the audio engine for some chiptune hardware player i have in mind and a tetris fangame with most of the guidelines features as you did.
    Lots of congratulations. ¡Buen trabajo!
