cyangames	Funnily enough that's exactly the routine I'm using I just need to ensure they don't wrap outside of the screen as that's where issues appear. Plan tonight is to sort that issue out and distribute the pick ups randomnly into quadrants on the screen as opposed to just somewhere on there, again using a little CPU / bytes as possible, becuase I dunno, why not. Planned gameplay loop is that to progress from level to level you must collect the 6 parts of the icon which join together at the top of the screen when collected, which would then add an enemy type / introduce goo launching enemies / other enemy types. The RNG on the homing pattern really helps to reduce the case where you could end up with 8 or more sprites on a scan line but I'm probably going to have to add displaying shots every other frame or something to it in order to limit the issue. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Power ups are looking much nicer, each one is in it's own section in the level now. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Not sure why this way such a pain to sort out, although, at least it's fixed now, the enemies seem to go from passive to aggressive which is kinda neat, unintended, but neat. View on YouTube -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Tomorrow night I guess I'll add shooting for the player, likely just single shot due to time contstraints and maybe collisions and the opportunity for enemies to explode should they get shot as a corpse, expect bullet flickering! That and better initial enemy placement. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Gosh, that's come along really well!! You'll be doing AGameAWeek-NES, soon -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Hahaha, probably not that quick but, well, we shall see. Aiming to have this done by Tuesday night -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Begun adding a title screen today, might have that finished by the end of tonight, possibly taking monday off as I just really want to finish this before wednesday now, hahaha! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Title screen is pretty much done now, with a lil text scorller at the bottom to boot Back to the game loop tomorrow. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Woohoo! Looking forward to playing this! ... because, bloody hell, have I seen more than enough SpikeDislike, this month!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	(ports Spike Dislike to the NES) Hahaha, nooo, not this week anyway So, the title screen is more designed around being something for a friend of mine who is getting into buying and selling retro games in his shop nearby. but, with a few simple graphical tweaks could be set to whatever it needs to be, which is kinda cool. I kinda wanna make some more games like this, easily tweakable to almost be able to be gifted to others, ideally in cartridge form.

Jayenkai	That's a lovely idea! .. Assuming they have a NES, though! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	They have one, on the shop floor, with Mario on it I've said to them that they should make sure it's there on wednesday -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Souper!!
Mon, 28 Nov 2022, 14:59
cyangames	Added pause and single shots with recoil, I doubt this will be done in November :/ \|edit\| Made it 3 shots on the screen. \|edit\| -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	You've still got two days left! Good luck!!
Mon, 28 Nov 2022, 16:29
cyangames	I wish I did! Tomorrow is full with work and social commitments and, well, Wednesday is going to be a case of waking up hella early I imagine. Either way, we are here currently: View on YouTube The bar at the top is an indicator as to how much CPU is being used per frame. Even if I'm not finished by end of wednesday, I'll have it ready by next wednesday I reckon. The title loop looks like this currently but can be quickly replaced. THe flashing isn't there on the emulator which is odd. View on YouTube -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Arrgh! The flicker!!!! Good luck getting it sorted. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Thanks, I've just started making the sound code from flap happy into an includable file to make things a little bit simpler. it might sound familiar come wednesday but it is what it is Up early tomorrow morning then hopefully to add some sound effects in there and add collisions for the pick ups. Wwednesday it'll be a case of adding levels, enemy explosions and making that score board at the top all work..... golly! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	D'you need music doing?
Mon, 28 Nov 2022, 17:31
cyangames	Maybe I'm just using the lunar theme from flap happy for the moment, with the swtch theme applied to the main game screen it should fit together better. But yeah , snooze time now -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	\o/yeay\o/
Wed, 30 Nov 2022, 04:18
cyangames	added icon / pickup collisions added the round timer / bonus next stop, scoring. added scoring and a bonus to the flashy pickups, gonna add some sorta drone that spirals around each pick up to toughen the game up a bit. the electrodes now charge up and fire -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Congrats!!! I 'ant dun nuffin for this month's MindPoke.. > Reveal 🔎 After the past month of SpikeDislike, everything, literally everything, has been left until right at the last minute. Today, I ... 1. Finished off (wrote most of) this week's newsletter. 2. Finished off (wrote most of) this month's SmileBASIC game. 3. Finished off (wrote most of) this week's ALChoon. 4. Made the entire video (as shitty as it is) for the ALChoon. Oh my god, I'm knackered!!!!!! I'd rest, tomorrow, but it's first of Advent, and that means a whole bucketload of stuff to do. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
