Last view: 3220 days 		So, I got the main BTO code done (65c816, at least). Now, one thing that was suggested to me was an 'API' or sorts, basically a bunch of predefined routines so that people would have as easier time making blocks. I don't have many ideas for routines, but here are the ones I have currently.

  • Kill Mario
  • Hurt Mario
  • Change MAP16 Block
  • Create "Block Shatter" effect


Now, the first 2 and last one would probably just be defining the preexisting SMW routines, as well as possibly changing the MAP16 block. Basically, usage woudl go something like this 

code
code
JSR SOME_API_CALL
code
code


So, my questions are;
  1. What other routines or functions could anyone suggest, and
  2. Any comments on the idea of a "Standard Block API?"


    3. This below is the list of currently planned API routines, and any parameters

    KILL_MARIO
    HURT_MARIO
    ALTER_MAP16 New_Block
    EXPLODE Blink
    STUNABOVE
    BRICKBOUNCE Custom Sprite ID (It's the easiest way. Yeah, I'm lazy.)
    CREATE_SPRITE Sprite_ID Is_Custom

  • Create the brick bounce effect (with some ram addresses to tell what block to turn back into, what palette, and tile number)
  • Stun sprites on top of the block

KILL_MARIO
HURT_MARIO
ALTER_MAP16 New_Block
EXPLODE


The explode subroutine takes a parameter (A, IIRC) that determines whether or not the block should blink when exploding.

What happened to my suggestion of making a subroutine to call another block's handler code by ID offset or absolute ID (without changing the actual map16 number of the current block)?

Last view: 5185 days 		Hm... "Create sprite"? ...or is it easier to just use the default subroutine for that?

Easiest to make the original routine easily accessible.

How about an extended ALTER_MAP16 routine that takes an X and Y offset from the current block, so you could, for instance, have it alter the block above or two blocks below?

How about a routine that creates a glitter trail after it? Like after you collect a coin.
