cyangames	Quick lil twitch stream and boom! View on YouTube Full blog post under here for more details refreshgames.co.uk/2021/05/05/background-collision-bugs-fixed-flower-satages-also-added-yay/ -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Putting this here so I don't forget. Wandering about a per level shop system, perhaps there could be some honey combs that spawn on the stage for a short time which could be saved up and traded for stuff like... Greater pollen capacity Speed Up Temporary Shields Extra Lives That sort of thing. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

rockford	Sounds good, but sometimes it's the simple things in life that matter. Why complicate something unless you feel it's lacking or not engaging enough. Remember if it needs/offers power-ups, then you're going to have to add stuff for those power-ups to be useful/necessary for (ie more/larger enemies etc.) otherwise they are pointless and make the game too easy. And what happens if a player hasn't powered-up properly and then can't beat a level as they haven't got the items/skills they need? Decisions, decisions. But it's your game

cyangames	Aye, it should probably be something I consider after having done some playtesting, which I'm far away from at the moment. Gotta knock up a level editor also, maybe I'll tackle that after work tonight. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Oooh, fancy! Hopefully you'll be able to make some pretty level layouts for it. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Yup, with some terrible puns for the passwords as is pretty much required now -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	"Shoal Happy" guide your shoal, through the dangerous waters, to their home. Requires scrolling and maybe 10 or so little fishies following your bigger fish. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Mmmmm, I am keen to get some scroling going on with the next one -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	gahhhh. Tested the code out on an actual NES today, there's more issues with the PPU that I'll need to work on again. \|update\| -=-=- \|update\| Thankfully flap happy seemed to be okay, which is a relief...phew! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Pakz	I watched the gameplay video and could not immediately see what was going on. You play a bee grabbing those blocks? Maybe before you can control the sprite add a white outline rect that goes from the edges of the screen into the place where you have the sprite you control? To focus the players eyes on? There is good progress going on also!

cyangames	A fair chunk of that could well be compression (upscaling 256 x 240 also, probably not great).but yeah, I'll play around with the colours for better contrast later on tonight. Found a few lil shortcuts in my PPU code which might save me enough CPU cycles for a PAL NES to work properly -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	AHH, this thread was the right thread....

cyangames	Fixed some bugs with the menu system, weird logic issues where a loop was overriding a variable set before the frame had ended, but that's fixed now. Tomorrow I hope to add some sort of limit to how much pollen the bees can carry per trip to / from the hive and perhaps some sort of scoring system. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Sat down to Bee Happy last night, snuggled up with Kaede in the living room, fixed up some more bugs, noticed some differences between NES emulators, which is a bit of a concern, might smash some more bits out of it tonight, maybe scoring systems? It's a tad early to decide upon music but I'm pondering about something bubbley bobbley. Also, ordered a new chip writer for cartridge creationings. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	For some reason sometimes a flower collision just gets missed out, it's a weird one to fix as it's kinda random as to why. I guess I'll have to do some slow-mo ram debugging later on to fix it up -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	It's not the diagonal collision thing is it? When you hit the very corner of the tile at +x and +y velocity.. I'm always having issues with that.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 04 Mar 2022, 07:08
cyangames	I wandered if it could be that also. It might be due to there being 2 players onscreen at once and 2 collisions with flowers occurring at the same time, updating the RAM but not the VRAM. I'll try knocking it back to 1 player tonight somehow. Orrr it might be double hitting the flower in one frame on occasion somehow but somehow that seems even more unlikely. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Good grief, that's a lot of options! Good luck!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 04 Mar 2022, 07:23
cyangames	It's not too bad though, just need to trap the error really. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Wed, 16 Mar 2022, 15:17
cyangames	Right, it was an issue with player 1 and player 2 collisions changing on the same frame. So, easy fix, check each player every other frame, easssyyyyy and not really noticable Woo! Attempted another cart solder today, everything seemed to be right but I just got the ruddy grey screen again. Gonna contact the manufacturer for advice on where I;m going wrong. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Sounds complicated.
Wed, 16 Mar 2022, 16:19
rockford	Hope it gets sorted and easily.
Wed, 16 Mar 2022, 17:01
cyangames	It's just a few variables really when it comes down to it. It's one of the following: My soldering My chips My chip writing settings orrr My NES, which I know it isn't. Time to send out an email -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
