    Version 51, very minor fixes. The tiny bit of hair showing up before you start the game has been removed. It gives the nose a much cleaner look I think. Also, the game does not change color right after you press the reset switch, instead it waits for a few seconds before it changes colors.

    I made the nosehair's fastest speed faster so it should be more difficult.

    I tried watching the Twitch thing for the first time but I tuned in too late because they were talking about Chaser. What did they say about my game?

    My high score in version 49 is 482.

    I was looking through my Intellivision manuals and spotted a couple of interesting things.

    • The cover of the Pac-Man manual by Atarisoft has a picture of the Pac-Man screen in the upper right hand corner...of the 2600 version.
    • The English cover of Tron Maze-A-Tron has copyright notices in French (So does the French side.)

    I found these interesting and wanted to share. Let me know if you spot something interesting in an Intellvision game.

    My program won't save any more. I'm using the following to read and write: 

    write_row: PROCEDURE
    FOR c = 0 TO 15
    if c=0 then #row(0)=levelnumber
    if c=1 then #row(1)=lemonnumber
    if c=2 then #row(2)=health
    NEXT c    
    
    FLASH WRITE FLASH.FIRST,VARPTR #row(0)
    return
    END
    
read_row: PROCEDURE
    FLASH READ FLASH.FIRST,VARPTR #row(0)

    for c= 0 to 15

    next c
    
    return
    END

    I'm doing this before every level: 

        gosub write_row
    gosub read_row

    I put the --jlp command in when compiling and playing in jzintv but it still won't remember my progress. What am I doing wrong?

    I'll let you guys look at what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to make the "lost" CCW game "Count's Castle." Things are going good so far, but if I have any questions, I'll need to ask before I begin pulling my hair out.

    Here is a zip file containing .asm and .bin files.

    I need new bat and Count sprites, though.

    Hi all. I am working on a game in assembly where I need to have (up to) 9 characters on the screen at the same time. And since Space Invaders did this (not to mention all the homebrew works, like bBlocks), I am fairly certain I can achieve this. But how?

     

    I know that I can get two copies of the same sprite with NUSIZx. But I'm wondering if I can just set GRPx to 0, reset the counter used to draw them, and then start drawing them again and again for the desired 9 times I'd need to do this? By the way, they can all be the same sprite. They don't have to be different sprites. It's just going to be bats flapping their wings up and down, so it's nothing too fancy.

     

    So I would need to use player 0 for the bats, and I'd also like to have player 1 free if possible.
