I have a weird issue. When 2 sprites occupy the same scanline the sprite stretches. Here is when they are on different scanlines, notice they don't stretch Any ideas why this is happening?

Sorry I forgot to update that. The latest version is available on the official site. You can also click here to access the game page which has a link to the latest source code and hosted demo. Not much has changed since it has been a crazy year. You can press fire and you'll be able to move the pet around a bit. It was supposed to be a feeding type game where you moved the pet towards the food but, I haven't really gotten around to finish the coding.

Please add Virtual Pet(4k)[Tentative Name] by @Mallard Games to the WIP list. Updated: Nov 15, 2021 -
Hi, I am starting a new Virtual Pet homebrew, and would like to get everyone's input. So far I have gotten the pet sprite to appear on screen. Not sure what to work on next so feel free to let me know. I was going to animate the sprite bouncing left and right like the Tamagatchi pets. Binaries Updates 11-15-2021: Added bouncing effect to the pet similar to Tamagotch pets. Uploaded first binrary

2600 AtariVox/SaveKey Question
Mallard Games replied to Mallard Games's topic in Atari 2600 Programming
The idea was that each player 1 would insert their own savekey into each port. A special “match” cart would read the data from each savekey and and simulate a fight using it. I don’t know how else to describe it. ? -
Here is Release Candidate 1 for stabilizing the ducks speed a bit. Let me know what your thoughts.

Their x and y velocity is set to the lowest it can go, 1. I will try to fix this in the next update.

Sorry got a bit sidetracked by the Superbowl. I will try to upload the ROM to the thread tomorrow. UPDATE: Attached rom
