Hello, I'm porting an Amstrad CPC game to TIC-80 and I also had to adapt the resolution. The original game is on 160x200, compared to the 240x136 in TIC-80 so I had to change the sprites a bit but not that much: it's a tile game (some sort of sokoban-style). The Amstrad CPC possible resolutions are 160x200, 320x200 and 640x200 (the higher the res is, less colors are available) so not all games can be adapted to TIC-80, but sometimes the "useful" screen is only a small subset of the actual screen, you can use that to fit TIC-80 resolution. Good luck with your project!

Yes, you could always use a viewport (clipping region) if the resolution is lower than TIC's - for example, my game for the last Low Rez jam was 64x64 (https://paul59.itch.io/crowd-sauce)

EDIT: Wish I still had my CPC464! :D

Paul59, you can still play CPC games on an emulator. I also wish I still had my 464, but I sold it long ago. May be I'll buy a 6128 in the future. Programming on the TIC-80 really reminds me of the fun I had programming BASIC on the Amstrad CPC. 

I know but it's just not the same :D Programming on the CPC became less of a challenge compared to earlier home computers - at least you had a chance of saving your program successfully.

We seem to have veered miles off topic!

lol! Nice little game! Like the graphics :)

Cheers!
