After looking at some posts from Allen Huffman on the COCO FB group and on his site:
https://subethasoftware.com/2024/01/20/ ... and-sound/

Here is one of his videos:

I thought about how would those 8x8 tiles, originally black and white, handle artifact colors.

As we can see, it is very hard to get tanks with the 2 pure colors.
So what about a single color and some 3d?

Here is some testings:

So here are 4 frames for each single colored tank, tiles for the background and color ramped tiles for whatever FXs.

This is what they look, and is also the tile set file needed to run the code:

Finally, a Scene Maker to test the tile set in action:

Latest Version!

Code should be much easier to understand.

Randomicity on number of layer repetition (displayed on the lower right, when available).

Layer with tanks!

Got rid of the ugly fences.

Hi Erico,

Love what you expanded on with Allen's program. I'd like to try running your version, but need the "tanks_01.png" asset.

Thanks and looking forward to more!

AAAAma sooory that one is copyrighted!

It is hidden a few images above but I will add here.

Ssssshhhh! Thank you...

Where you able to run it? I'm really curious on what could be done with it.
I'm not sure we can currently move a bitmap per pixel instead of byte border, but it would be simple to cook a couple extra bitmaps for the tanks to cover for that, if one wants a smoother motion

I was thinking of taking this scheme to port "It Came from the West" to pmode4, made a few studies but other pressing projects are on the way.
