Smash 2600

[Master_Programmer]

~News update~

 

Okay, today's my dad's birthday, so i won't get much done, but i'll get a little bit of progress made.

 

I've got tourian and green hill zone added.

 

and i'm starting with the beginnings of a 1 player mode.

[Master_Programmer]

At first, the AI for the computer players will be *VERY* simple.

 

the game rolls a random number from 0-255.

 

if it's bigger than 127, then the computer moves towards, and attacks the player.

 

if not, then it moves away.

[Master_Programmer]

and, if the ai value is bigger than 230, the cpu attacks.

[Master_Programmer]

Okay, the first try at enemy AI.

 

HUGE SUCCESS.

 

the cpu is a bit harder than i expected.

 

even when i dumbed them down a bit, and made them unable to attack as often.

 

but mario, so far, is the hardest, just because the cpu player tends to jump, quite a lot.

LOVE THIS!

[Master_Programmer]

LOVE THIS!

 

 

Thank you very much.

 

It'll be even better when i add sonic....caus' i have something VERY special planned for him.....

 

when he's at his last life, and he's knocked off the edge, if you press a secret button combination at JUST THE RIGHT TIME, he'll turn into supersonic, and jump back onto the platform, for one last desperate attack.

 

 

 

credit for the original idea, goes to my dad. XD

 

he helps me come up with some of this stuff sometimes.

[Master_Programmer]

Guess what?

 

NEW DEMO RELEASE!!!!!!

 

Version 0.75 is out!

 

it includes:

 

- 1 player mode, with enemy AI

- 2 player mode, head to head fun!

- The following characters:

- Link

- Pacman

- Megaman

- Mario

- Kirby

- Hero from berserk

- and now joining the skirmish, Sonic the hedgehog(and supersonic, if you can find the right button combo at the right time.....)

 

- 2 new stages!

- The Tourian starting point from metroid 1

- Green hill zone!

 

 

 

Sonic's attack is as follows:

 

Jump at the enemy....he's like mario, but weaker.

 

only, sonic, doesn't have to be ABOVE the enemy while touching in the air to do damage.

 

supersonic, is the exact same, but he does a metric crap-ton of damage.....way more than even link, the (now 2nd) strongest character!

 

 

On the character select screen, press down on joystick 0 to be in 1p mode.

press up on joystick 0 to be in 2p mode.

 

you'll know you're in 1 player mode, because the second character(the right-most character) will be a dark gray.

 

Good luck!

Pretty cool, it does actually play a lot like Super Smash Bros. The only problem was that the enemy AI was a little too easy for me.

Consider that problem fixed within a day or two.

 

*is working on it either later today, or tomorrow*

 

I'll probably even have harder difficulty levels here very soon too.....like....if you press down on the character screen, if would make the character a darker shade of white each time you press it, meaning the darker the shade, the harder the CPU player.

[Master_Programmer]

Also real quick.....any ideas on how Pitfall harry will attack?

 

I know in super pitfall for the nes, he has a gun..... >.>

[bomberpunk]

he can throw those damn logs. scratch that. where's Donkey Kong? he can throw those damn barrels.

he can throw snakes

[Legend]

A whip seems fitting even though he didn't have one in the original. He did have one in Mayan Adventure though. A gun seems kinda bland to me. For pitfall Harry anyways.

stick man + whip = Indiana Jones

 

what about this guy:

[Master_Programmer]

Interesting.....anyways, i can't get much farther than 75% without someone to take smash bros music, and turn it into 1 channel BB code.

[Master_Programmer]

Uh-oh......anyone else notice 2p sonic can't attack?

 

i did.

 

and fixed it.

 

2p kirby(copying sonic/s.sonic), 2p sonic, and 2p super sonic's attack works now.

but i agree, ditch the newer console characters other than Mega Man and Master Chief, as they both appear in their own 2600 games. if they weren't on the VCS, they don't need to be in the game!

 

here are some great VCS character:

Combat Tank

Evil Otto (Berzerk)

Pitfall Harry

Qbert

Robot (Berzerk)

Yar

 

 

Yar! I pirate second these!

[Master_Programmer]

Okay, until i can get someone to work on music, this game's progress will be able to go no farther.

 

Until then, i'll be working on a port of "The world ends with you" for the 2600. XD

 

it may not get very far, but i wanna see how well i can do a port of that.

[Master_Programmer]

Surprise update. XD

 

I really was going to add a bit more before i wait for a music-man, and surprise you all with a sneak-update. ^^

 

Introducing into smash bros skirmish......is Neku Sakuraba!!!!!

 

The hero from "The world ends with you" is now in the skirmish, along with not one, but 4 attacks!

 

Attack 1:

Name: "Lolita Emblem Pin"

Controls: Fire

Description: This pin allows for a furious, standing stab attack!

Damage: 7

 

Attack 2:

Name: "Healing Bunny Pin"

Controls: Down

Description: This cute bunny pin, heals 5 damage per second!

Damage: N/A

 

Attack 3:

Name: "Fresh Line Pin"

Controls: Down+Fire

Description: This pin teleports you above your enemy, then executes a vicious downward stabbing attack!

Damage: 20

 

Attack 4:

Name: "Kings Knight Pin"

Controls: Just down, then just up, then just hold fire.

Description: This pin, when activated, drops a big ol' box ont he enemy!

Damage: 50

 

 

 

 

Now, the only problem with this new character, is i DO NOT HAVE 2P NEKU READY.

 

So you can't select neku with 2nd player.

 

and 2nd player kirby, copying 1st player neku, doesn't work.

 

 

give me a day or two, and i'll have that fixed.

 

 

 

Oh, and attack 4, is pretty hard to execute.

 

 

Oh, and lastly, i have a new stage.....The streets of Shibuya!

Oh, and i almost forgot....if you press, or hold, left or right, while holding fire, you'll dash in that direction, and are invincible, while dashing.

I tried the latest demo on my Harmony Cartridge and all I get is rolling lines. Will this game eventually work in Harmony?

 

And can I put in a request for Yorgle as a character?

What?

 

what's a harmony cartridge?

 

....is that some sorta cheat-code device??

[Master_Programmer]

OH WAIT, you mean that thing that you can put roms on, and run on a real 2600. O_O

 

ummm....i don't have a real 2600, or a harmony cartridge....so....i have no clue of how to make it work on a real 2600.

 

sorry, but until i can figure out what all screws up on a real 2600, harmony cartridges are out of the question.
