My history teacher ate lemons.

So I've got the beginnings of a game here. I want to know how much space I have left but when I go to compile it, it compiles fine but it won't tell me how many bytes I have left. Any ideas why?

Lemon is 2 and French Fry is 1. I want it to do the following:

If Lemon hits lips then AUDC0=1. Otherwise AUDC0=4

if French Fry hits lips then AUDC0=4, otherwise AUDC0=1

I've tried every single possible combination and they're all wrong. WHY?

I think this is what you want.

Collisions


		ldx PlayerX
		cpx #40      ; test for edge of screen
	        bpl TestOnLips     ; changed to a plus, it works as a greater than symbol in basic
		
		lda CXP0FB 
		and #$80           		
		beq NoCollisions		
		
		ldx PlayerX
		cpx #18       ; test for edge of screen
	        beq TestSwallowing      ; Changed to an equal, branch on carry requires the carry flag to be raised.		

		ldx FoodType
		cpx #1
		beq	 Wrong	;changed to equal
	
		jmp	ResetPPPPP 


TestSwallowing
		ldx FoodType
		cpx #2		; Now a 2.
		beq	Wrong	; branch on equal to 2
	
		jmp	 ResetPPPPP 

TestOnLips
		lda CXP0FB 
		and #$80           		
		beq NoCollisions

		ldx FoodType ;I assuming you want points to increase if a fry hit the lip.
		cpx #2       ;if not, you can comment these 3 out
		beq Wrong    ;	and replace jmp ResetPPPPP below with jmp Wrong
	
		jmp ResetPPPPP		
	
Wrong
		lda #1
		sta AUDC0

		jmp ResetPPPPP2

Thank you so much! That worked. I must remember to use beq instead of bcs, though. I thought bcs did what beq did. This is so confusing. Here is the latest version. I tested it to make sure the scanline doesn't go above 262, even when resetting it. The part in bold was the hardest part. It kept going to 263 for 2 frames before going back down to 262.
