Keen 1 Frame Rate Anomaly
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:29 pm
I'm not sure if this is well known or not. This relates to the change animation frame-rate patch (%patch $7CDE $05) for Keen1.
I've observed that if I have, for example, a lower in-level frame rate, then when I game-over and go to the high-scores, the animation on the ship parts in the high scores runs at the in-level frame rate.
However at all other times, including after I've gone back to the main menu after finishing a game, the ship parts will animate at the normal frame-rate.
Is this frame rate something that can be patched? As far as I can tell, animations in the title screen similarly run at the default rate and not at the patched in-level rate.
It's not a hugely important detail so I wouldn't ask anyone to expend energy on it, but if there is a well-established patch for this already then I'd be interested in it!
