Hey all. I've not posted for a little while in part due to work commitments, but also because the work I've been doing over the past month or so...
Level editing It is now possible to edit collision and tiles using Sonic Spintool. I've linked some quick and dirty demonstration videos of this...
Not been able to work on this as often as I'd like, but I wanted to share a bit of an update. Sprite and Animation tables I've managed to find...
The objects defined in the data are not comprehensive as there are hardcoded instantiations of some things. The object types themselves I've not...

I understand what you mean, but the transition will always take the same amount of time regardless of how far away it is (the camera transitions...
A short but hopefully fun post today. Since I started exploring Spinball, I have been sitting on the potential idea that the game would be much...
Thank you. I appreciate you taking a look (and I'm happy that you were able to get up and running OK too). Right now I do have a significant...
There are a couple of code hacks that are unique to the final level. The following is figured out using code snippets from my own Ghidra...
Level Tile Format solved I have been able to document the tiling mechanism for levels and additional data that supplements the tile data, or is...
A mix and match of updates today! Spintool improvements I've been spending a decent amount of time refactoring a bit of the Spintool code to look...

SSC format decompression solved Using offsets conveniently provided in the SSCDec tool (and using the output of that tool to verify my work), I...
Uncompressed sprite format solved Sprites consist of one or multiple tiles that may be up to 32x32 each. So large objects will consist of...
@Chimes Yeah I believe the GEMS data was located earlier in this thread. I've quoted below for convenience, but I have not attempted to dissect...
