Unfortunately I have just discovered that the core lcd routines will trash memory if passed bad paramemters - this is great for speed - useless for sprite handling. ...THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM, IT IS JUST A STATEMENT! I ASSUMED (that'll learn me) when I started Klondike that the core routines WOULD have clipping - and so it was written as such. Since this essentially means that I need to rewrite either (a) the core lcd routines (ludicrously unlikely I would ever get permission for that) OR (b) the way my program generates it's sprites (*sigh*)- it could be a l-o-n-g time before it happens. However Klondike runs fine on my jukekox, just don't expect anything spectacular if/when you win** - in fact, in theory you should expect Rockbox to crash at this point - quite why it doesn't is beyond me. In the mean time, feel free to enjoy this new game in its ALPHA state. Bug reports and UI feedback welcomed. BC ** I was in the middle of writing this code when I realised that it would all need to be scrapped.
