!Munchy A clone of a classic maze game

I assume it is to simulate a podule or extension ROM, and allow you to replace OS modules which are tricky to change after start up.

Under no circumstance should you be using StubsG though.

Yes – not a bad place for the 32bit CLib – just like having it in extended ROM.

Is the BASIC softload stand alone – or does it need an updated Msg file.

I changed the ro5 loader to use StubsG – handy on a real RPC – but not needed on VRPC if CLib is loaded from Windows side Dir as above.

Is the BASIC softload stand alone – or does it need an updated Msg file.

It is standalone. Years ago in v1.59 messages were changed to be a normal messages file, rather than requiring the separate BasicTrans module. I think they will appear in Resources.BASIC.BASICMsgs by magic when the new module is loaded.

I have updated Munchy to Version 1.05

The main changes are :-
Merged both versions on the website to this one version. Hopefully this
version works well on older machines and newer faster hardware.

Changes :-

The game now behaves better in the desktop it is now polled at 100Hz

You can now display the PPS (polls per second) FPS (frames per second)
via a menu option.

On slower machines if the PPS falls below the FPS the game timer
trys to keep the FPS to a constant value it does this by frame skipping.
You can see this effect on all machines as the score screen uses
different FPS for the differents speeds and will run up to 200 FPS.

When selecting full screen mode the games uses the faster OS_SpriteOP this
helps older machines with respect to FPS.

Full screen mode is also run at 100Hz, under its own timer.

The main game starts at 50 FPS and tops out at 100 FPS if you live that long :-)

Some speed tests below @ 50 FPS :-
Titanium
PPS 100 in all cases apart from EX0 EY0 which drops to 50 PPS

PI400
PPS 100 in all cases.

PI2B+
PPS 100 full screen 640 × 480 256C
PPS 33 256C desktop
PPS 25 64K colour desktop

Iyonix
PPS 39 full screen 640 × 480 256C
PPS 25 256C desktop
PPS 17 16M colour dessktop

If you remove the focus from the window while in the desktop during the main
game it will freeze allowing you to return back later.

If you remove the focus from the score screen while in the desktop it will
still run.
NOTE: If you remove the focus you may see the PPS start to pulse,this took a while to work
out what was causing this, it is the desktop changing the CPU speed depending on the load.
