Wow reading your earlier posts I realize you were initially concerned about someone else doing a similar game. But the reason I was reading your post is because of the title 'skyscraper'. Because I have been toying around with a rampage remake...so my heart skipped a beat for a second.... Whew, close one ?

 

btw I do t know this other game you talked about but I saw your demo video, that looks so awesome, it's amazing...

beat me...

 

When I read this I thought: What is the limit of the game....?

And when I had some spare time at SillyVenture 2k17, I patched the program to play itself. Aim was no the highest score, but the highest level to see what happens to the background..

Result: It goes up to 3151 and there it hangs :-)

score is limited to 5 characters and you reached the limit. i'm not sure what has happened there, but before score data there is RTS instruction and after score data there is INC instruction.

I assume one of those was rewritten by the score overlapping and all went south then :)

Hmmm, I remember that someone (wasn't that MatoSimi?) did something similar with Assembloids until it either crashed or could not count anymore (or something else). The coders of Assembloids therefore wanted to update their game, but afaik found out that no sane human would ever get this far... maybe the same is true for Skyscraper and no human player would ever get this far...?!?

yes, that was me :)

 

ah but as a matter of pride they often fix such things, that feeling you get when something is completely done well. In the future some one may look back at it and realize how well the code was fashioned from beginning to end.

not this time :)
