Hey there!

I love this project. I've already got something up and running. Before I can really make a 'game' though, I'd love a couple features added -

Ability to trigger music Ability to pause screen between actions (this can allow me to set up rudimentary animation - or graphical changes without user input) Ability to display 2 actors on screen at once.

I love this project! Did I say that already? :)

Hey, thanks for your interest in this project! ;)

Ability to trigger music

I had taken a look at this option a while ago; on the 32X front there seems to be a few options, like a XM player and even an .ogg player; in addition, there's also the option of playing the music from the Genesis side; either way, it would require some research.

Ability to pause screen between actions (this can allow me to set up rudimentary animation - or graphical changes without user input)

Yes, that's an omission; there's a 'delay' block, but, while it can be placed on the project, currently, it generates no code.

Ability to display 2 actors on screen at once.

I guess that should be doable.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Music does look like the biggest task. In terms of flexibility, .ogg would be the most desireable option as it could also handle voice and sound effects to some degree, but I'll take whatever is easiest to implement, honestly.

For the delay, I figured there was no code :) And great news about the two actors! I would think that may also need a position select - left, right or center.

Thanks so much! I've really had a lot of fun playing with this today!
