Hmmm...Burgertime is merely screen shots of each level? What gives? I feel I must be missing something here.

Exactly.
But,it's a only map.

Umm..Is it better to describe the position of pepper?

Very nice Dan! I really liked the Wonderboy maps!

I apologize, Dan, if I seemed to not enjoy your work on this. The other game maps were very unique and impressive! Those involved scrolling scenes and it was great seeing the entire picture. However, with Burgertime being non-scrolling/ static playfield, I guess I was thinking I was missing something. Great work!

Dan,

Nice work.

I've done a couple of maps as well. See http://members.iinet.net.au/~tmorrow/em ... ation.html for maps of Star Force (without sprites) and 1942 (with sprites some cut off).

The approaches used for each map was different. In general it seems to be a difficult problem that involves a lot of work. I've had some discussion about this with Andrew Gardner (a MAME code contributer) who had some ideas. He has an automatic method of taking frequent screen grabs and differencing the results to remove foreground items. I wrote an automated way of taking screenshots every nth frame for fixed scrollers. Still, hard work no matter what method you use.

I'd be interested to hear details your techniques for creating these maps.

Cheers,
Tim

It's cool.

I combined screenshots taking suitably.
I cannot explain well,because I can speak English very little,sorry.

Dan,

Your english is fine. I was trying to understand whether you used a program or whether you did it manually. Whichever method you used, Well done!

Cheers,
Tim
