    If you wander what this is? Read the topic: "You wanted Sonic 1 to be harder?"

    Here is some math, codes and pictures from Yuji Naka:

    You know what sucks? Tails_1.gif. I programmed that damn logic flow already a long long time ago... it worked in a 2D RPG engine I never finished, and a 3D engine I'm not actively working on while I finish up a final 2D engine. :P And Sega pantented it in its simplicity. Geeez.

    Yeah, I'm kind of angry too. Better be Sonic than something else though.

    It's from Knuckles in Sonic 2 :(

    USPTO = US Patent and Trademark Office.


    There is still much we don't know about Sonic. Why don't we care? ;)

    Hey hey, I care about those things and find them very interesting, but I didn't know it was possible to get this kind of information without asking the big boss! 0_o

    Not me either. I was just searching after how the Sprite Status Table works, so I can make my own objects one day. Of course all the info I find out about will be public released.

    Code (Text):
    1.     Sprite Status Table
    2.  
    3.     No. of Bytes Description
    4.  
    5.     ______________________________________
    6.  
    7.     1            Action Number
    8.  
    9.     1            Action Flags
    10.  
    11.     2            Offset in VRAM
    12.  
    13.     4            Address of pattern table
    14.  
    15.     4            X direction offset within playfield
    16.  
    17.     4            y direction offset within playfield
    18.  
    19.     2            .+-. x direction speed
    20.  
    21.     2            .+-. y direction speed
    22.  
    23.     1            vertical offset (in dots) from center
    24.  
    25.                  of character to bottom of char.
    26.  
    27.     1            horizontal offset (in dots)
    28.  
    29.                  from center of character to bottom of
    30.  
    31.                  character.
    32.  
    33.     1            sprite priority
    34.  
    35.     1            horizontal width in dots
    36.  
    37.     1            pattern number
    38.  
    39.     1            pattern counter
    40.  
    41.     2            pattern change number
    42.  
    43.     1            pattern timer counter
    44.  
    45.     1            pattern timer master
    46.  
    47.     1            collision size
    48.  
    49.     1            collision counter
    50.  
    51.     1            Routine number 1
    52.  
    53.     1            Routine number 2
    54.  
    55.     2            angle of character through loop (not
    56.  
    57.                  sloop)
    58.  
    59.     1            ride-on flag
    60.  
    61.     1            hit flag
    62.  
    63.     2            A/B type collision setting
    64.  
    65.     ______________________________________
    Action Number is the object number. Sonic is 00. The endsign is 0D.

    collision counter is how many hits the boss can take before destroyed. 255 hits for the HPZ boss in S&K.

    angle of character through loop (not sloop). Yes this is fucking Sonic. :shock:

    This reminds me of one day that I was looking for Sega patents and I ended up finding things like the unreleased Sega Neptune.


    Now that I think of it... Why would Yuji Naka want to patent anything about Tails in 1995? He doesn't appear at all in the whole Sonic & Knuckles ROM, and S3&K borrows Tails code from the Sonic 3 ROM, right?

    The same goes for the Split Screen patents, but they changed a few things for S3&K...


    Perhaps this was patented for another project we've never heard about, like Sonic 4..?
