Hi guys,
I'm using the scrolling platformer module. What I'm trying to achieve is that on one specific screen, when the player jumps, the screen becomes dark/black (save for the character himself) and when he lands back on a platform the "lights" turn on again.
My current thinking is to create a group of 4 "night" background palettes and somehow switch from day to night when jumping. Perhaps by editing a_simple_jump.asm with something like:
WHEN jumping
IF screen type = XXX
THEN screen palette group = ZZZ
WHEN landing
IF screen type = XXX
THEN screen palette group = default
I assume it's obviously not that easy, but does something like that sound feasible and if so would someone be able to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.
