I whipped up a program to test out how the different colors would look on actual hardware. On the screen you'll see the Flicker Logo at the top, followed by current values for Red, Yellow, Outline Red and finally the Outline Logo.RESET = set NTSC defaults of RED = $34, YELLOW = $1E, OUTLINE RED = $46SELECT = set PAL defaults of RED =...
Added a fix for the "Saucer hiding out in the wrap-zone". What it does is as soon as the Saucer moves into the wrap-zone it stops making random direction changes until after it exits the wrap-zone on the other side of the screen.Updated "label by" in the easter eggcentered the small saucer graphicFixed the sprite jump glitchmenu tweaks to...
Used up the 400 bytes and then some.
Fixed a "find the ship" bug in the Magna-Mine targeting logic which would cause the mines to wander around off-screen in the vertical screen-wrap zone.
Revised the vertical wrap zone to use a 16 scan line off-screen zone for all objects. It previously used to be 8, 16 or 32 scan lines depending...

Thomas Jentzsch has been quite busy doing a round of optimizations on Space Rocks. Nathan Strum has also revised the menu, it now takes up less ROM space.
about 400 bytes free for additional ARM code.
vertical shot wrap-around revised to match ship wrap-around
menu font revisions
revised selected menu option highlite

like all other fragments, Magna-Mine debris now continues to travel along the path of the destroyed object
When the double-section Magna-Mines were shot, if it was coming straight at you the back half would always turn clockwise to come after you. It now randomly selects the direction.
shield now takes time to recharge, twice as long as the...
- fixed the synchronized rotation issue with large asteroids
- Attract mode has been fixed
- update to the second easter egg
- added third easter egg, No Man's Land, which will start every wave with 12 large asteroids
I believe my last two issues have been resolved.
1) On the collision problem, the original collision logic for wrap-around sprites was handled this way:
hitsomething = Collision(item, x, y)
if (hitsomething == 0 && x < 18) // 18 because the double-wide asteroids hmove left & right
hitsomething = Collision(item, x+160,y)
...
