This video explains how to implements the logic of a platform game, including collision detection and response of the sprites with the background. In the video, the implementation of the mini-game "The Runner" will be explained in details. Full source code and binary (.prg) provided. (English version).

Great tutorial. Now I need to convert something similar to 6510 assembly 😑

RLE Leads to this distribution of lengths. Either let the compressor find out max length and number of bits needed or add a Huffman coder. Maybe even length 0 can be included and very long spans are coded repeatedly? Can of worms.

Yes, I definitely need a better compression scheme and Huffman is the natural choice. I used RLE just because it's very simple to implement and the decompression is very fast.

@@agpxnet yeah and it works. I just mean that RLE has a natural choice for length and that is 8 bits. But that feels so arbitrary. It sure works great for platforms! Windows bitmap format offers RLE, but nobody seems to use it. All I know is gif and jpeg.. I think that jpeg uses RLE with Huffman. Huffman has this connection to entropy coding / arithmetic coding and Shannon information theory. Would be interesting to see an arithmetic codec on a C64. Maybe a background task to complete level loading?
