I just have gotten a Completely Original™ idea after finishing up the Firefly where I figured out to make a cool new background!
Now guess the background layers!
The answer:
Enjoy!
Note: If you want to change the background (i.e. use a different pattern), remember to first install Python 3, install the colour library with
It will generate a file named HdmaTable.asm. Copy its content into the level file but make sure you replace the old table i.e. remove everything below MaskingTable: (including that line) and then paste the new table.
I will include an easier insertion method once I submit.
Now guess the background layers!
The answer:
It's three layers. One is used for the foreground and two are used for the background. So on what layer are these stars? The answer: It isn't. Instead, I use HDMA for the background, both to brighten up only one pixel on each scanline and to give each star a different colour. Pretty cool, don't you think?
Enjoy!
