If it's between those two particular kinds, I'd have to go with the wings. I need to be in a certain mood for corn tortillas.

Sometimes people SEEM like they're voting against their own best interest, when they actually aren't. Some folks understand that, in some regards, man needs to be restrained. This is actually doctrine that goes back at least as far as Edmund Burke. I'm sure you could find this kind of thought WAY before that, too. Some people will take advantage of what they can, because it's pretty much human nature. But those that realize it may vote to have certain things undone, because it would actually benefit them in the long run. For instance, I could see someone voting for Trump because they feel like the extra unemployment money is hindering them from going back to work, since they are making more than they would there. They know the incentive, but don't like it. The "don't understand how the world works," and calling folks uneducated is pretty lame to say.

Wait... Demake of CE? 'Splain yoself!

It'd be killer if we could drag and drop the forum sections so each person could put their favorite section at the top of the others. For instance, I'd love to have the HOMEBREWS section at the top. Sure, we can collapse them, but moving them would be awesome.

No. If he hadn't repeatedly gone behind my back and at least told me he was going to continue to make more copies, it would be a totally different story. As it is he kept trying to hide it after saying he wasn't going to. This doesn't mean I haven't messed around with a sequel, however This is undoubtedly true, and you know this, MAN! Though it has moved to my second favorite beer over the past few years, with Guinness takin' the top slot, and Modelo coming in at number 3. Hell, we can make this intro thread a Q&A while we're at it hehe Shoot me any questions and we'll get epic!

Ah, so I know to avoid it now. Of COURSE they gotta put politics in something that's apolitical.

Thanks guys.

I'm Rob. I do the Sly Dog Studios stuff sometimes, but it's been over a year since I have. Tryin' to get back to it.

Another advantage is the amount of sprite real estate that you get. We only get 64 sprites total on NES, without tricks and such (don't ask me about the tricks; I'm not well versed haha). With 8x16 you get the luxury of an effective "128" sprites, even though it is still only 64 sprites, if you get my meaning.

Think of it like this. Each of the screens you want to interlock are just bytes. Each screen is ONLY a stream of bytes. So let's say you wanna go from left to right. Take your hex editor, and move the boundaries of the hex program so that you see 32 bytes horizontally across the screen for each row. Copy and paste all those bytes, so that you have 32 bytes on each row. After that, open the next nametable in the hex editor. Grab the first 32 bytes, and place them IMMEDIATELY after the first set of 32 bytes from the prior nametable. Now do the same thing for each successive row. That way you have the "nametables" aligned and right next to each other. Leave a whitespace in between each one so you can actually visualize it by looking at the code/bytes. Like this (notice the whitespace): .byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00, $00,$00,$00,etc. for 32 again... I did something similar to this in my Rise of Amondus code... separated the tables so that I could visually picture it (this is in metatiles, but the same concept applies): https://github.com/SlyDogStudios/riseofamondus/blob/master/includes/bankFixed/amondus_levels.asm Now, accessing this data is different than just storing it, which is what I think you're trying to sort out. When the tables are over 255 bytes in size, you need to use a formula to be able to manipulate the data or read it. I got this formula from Kevtris years ago, and like he did, I'll leave it to you to sort it out. It helped me a ton, and I'm sure it will help you too. I'm gonna try and attach it, but I'm new here, so I dunno if it will work haha
