tearing with both mrs and mr pacman at the top? I fixed that in the meantime
about your requests:
1) Ability to skip cut scenes using the pause button. => just press ESC
2) it would just be a matter of 10000/15000 points for extra life, starting
3) could be done, but configurable keys is too annoying to code
1) I guess I'll have just park myself closer to the computer when using a controller :-]
2) Looking forward to this, if you decide to go implement that.
3) No worries. Keyboard input and config keys are a nice-to-have and not a biggie.
As for the tearing, I'm seeing pretty extreme tearing and phantom pellets in-game for levels 7, 12 13, 15, and 18. I haven't made it past 18. It seems to be the worst when fruit appears (fruit also wanders through walls). I'm using a PAL Amiga 500 (I suspect this only works in PAL mode anyway). Not sure what's setting this graphic bug off. I wish I could tell you more about it, but it's borderline-intermittent. I do know that the maze returns to normal after the character dies and is regenerated. So the 'refresh' of the board does fix the graphical issue. Although I did work for Nintendo at one time, I was purely a graphics content guy and not a coder, so I'm kind of clueless from a pure debugging standpoint.
Thank-you so much for adding the on-controller cut scene skip function. Greatly appreciated.
I was able to get it to freak out under emulation. However, on a real Amiga 500 I couldn't get it to show any signs of graphics corruption. So it looks like it's more stable now. Here's a new video: https://youtu.be/q09tMesoNK4
Okay, I think I might have something useful for you. Here's the emulator settings I was using:
Emulator: WinUAX
CPU: 68000
CPU Speed: Real
CPU Compatible: No
Cycle Exact: No
Video Chipset: Agnus
Video Mode: PAL 50Hz
Chipmem Size: 512k
Fastmem Size: 0k
Slowmem Size: 512k
Fast Copper: Yes
Immediate Blits: No
Collision Level: Sprites and Playfield

When [CPU Compatible] is switched on, it seems to run perfectly. No graphics glitches at all. Toggling the other settings didn't seem to make a difference; only the CPU Compatible switch seemed to help.
