MTX Shell v0.04

Post by thewiz »

Hi All,

I have updated my MTX Assembler Shell with an Events system. It allows you to setup a timer, in 1/50sec ticks, to run a routine. The demo uses three events to change the colour of the skull every second, another to move up/down the screen and the third to move left/right across the screen.

This leaves the main loop doing nothing. The plan is to use it to handle timers, oxygen bars etc as well as moving enemies about. Possibly animation too.

Changelog:
