Games that start with E
It all started so innocently. I made a 2k game called "Explosive Diarrhea." I looked at the title. It started with the letter E. Nothing very special about it, although it's not as popular as, say, S or T (but more popular than U or X.) Then I made another 2k game. I wanted to continue the E title theme, so I named it "Eat Dem Bananaz." So now I feel like if I have an idea for a 2k game, it's title has to start with the letter E. It just so happens that I do have an idea for another 2k game. I made a drawing planning how everything would be displayed. Players 0 and 1, the playfield, and missile1. Maybe I'll use missile0, too, I'm not sure yet, but if I do that means I can't use no_blank_lines, which isn't a big huge sacrifice in this game. I could just use pfheights instead. And I have a title all picked out for this game. And yes, it starts with the letter E. I looked at my drawing. Couldn't help noticing that the thing in the smack dab center of the screen begins with E. (I hope I didn't give too much away, although there are a fair amount of nouns starting with E.) Well, anyway, my experience with these endeavors are exciting, and what better holiday to start work on this game than Easter? So I have about a month to go, and expect an extra-interesting announcement on April 1. And it won't be an April Fools joke. I'm torn on whether to use the every-other-screen-to-display-and-change-the-missile technique since I don't really want or need flicker in a 2k game (and it shouldn't be expected, either.)
