It always has fascinated me that there's hardly a game out there, on any console, that has a title screen with a white background. I have made it my mission to make a full-fledged game with a title screen with a white background.

I had failed with the movement of the cranberry game on VB, so I went back to the Channel F again. I made a title screen for a new game based on my Mr. Celery comic character. This game will be rated E for edible. Anyway, I want to make a game similar to TMNT 2 on the Channel F. This will require strategic background making, as it would get erased and drawn over by the sprites over and over again the way I move them around the screen.

I had TMNT 2 on the NES as a kid and played it along with the Game Genie to make sure I got infinite lives. Because it was hard. At least as a kid. Anyway, here's a lovely title screen.

I also failed at an attempt to make the food objects in MidSpace have missiles shoot at you. So I failed twice in the same day. And I am not too pleased because I am sleepy but I don't want to go to sleep because it's only 3 PM here.
