Alley Cat - possible O2 game
It's never too early to think about what game you want to make next. And for the Odyssey 2, I would like to "port," and I use the term loosely, "Garfield" from the 2600 to the Odyssey 2. I began work on a simple fence in the Odyssey 2. Some colors are to be changed. The fence is yellow (read: brown), the cat will be black. I would like the dog in there following the cat's movement at the bottom, but he won't do anything except follow the cat. So here's what I'm planning: cat - sprite 0. Dog - sprite 1. hamburger/potted plant - sprites 2 and 3 for a multicolored effect. A four-digit score will be at the top and will be white. But don't get too excited yet, this is all I have so far:
And that took a half-hour. I will expect to do more work on this game once GoSub 2 is finished and I will have more time to work on this new thing I've been planning. And I'll call it "Alley Cat" so as not to offend Paws, Inc. I don't know why I like to stress myself out working on games. I should go back and play the ones I made instead of working on new ones, though. But I guess I just want to be the Ed Averett of the Odyssey 2 homebrew scene. Making a lot of games, and have most be fun to play as well. If anyone wants to design a cat and dog sprite (maximum size for Odyssey 2 sprites is 8x8 pixels), feel free to go ahead.
