atari2600land's Blog - I can't change Golf's courses

RSS Bot · April 21, 2017

So last night I was trying to change the courses in Golf. As it turns out, it's impossible to. The location of the hole is key. If you change it, then the whole putting thing gets broken and the ball ends up in the white space and you can't move it. And the shape of the golf courses is hard as well because they're directly tied to the shape of the player. Change the shape of the fairway and you end up changing a frame of the swinging animation. Whoever designed this game needs a swift kick in the butt. No wonder I was trying for hours to do this: it's impossible. Where was Nukey Shay when you needed him? I was however, able to make the fairway grass color one shade darker like Keatah suggested. That hack is right here. I guess it's time to go back working on my own games, where I try to make stuff actually make sense. :roll:
