I had rediscovered that I was using the collision detection on the oranges. So I had to do the other way and add a lot of extra code to make the guy get the objects. And then it began. I tried on real hardware: Nothing was the result. So began a few hours of moving code around to get the stupid thing working. I eventually did however. I have used up 1,300 bytes which means I have 700 bytes left to add eating oranges and slowing them down logic in the game. Adding 20 points for the cherry getting was the easy part so I did that first. I think the most challenging part to code will be having the guy eat oranges, which means I'll do that last, after the slowing down the oranges part which I'll tackle first. I hope and I think it will fit in 2k. Because this doesn't seem like a game that should use 4k. I also had to fiddle around with the code that has the guy get the objects. I had to make sure the guy wasn't getting them too soon or too late, which also took a lot of time because I didn't know how to tweak the code. But I think this is okay now. So that is what I did almost all morning after waking up at 6am: work on the game. Then I had lunch at 11:30am: A bag of microwave popcorn. But I am so sick of microwave popcorn I could vomit. Perhaps I should try a different brand. I got sick of Jolly Time so I switched to Pop Secret. I guess I should switch back now.

I can't deal with the greasy lining in my mouth after eating microwave popcorn. I like theater popcorn, as it is vegan. It goes stale fast, though. I think you should go ahead and make it a 32k bankswitching game. I'm just going to make everything 32k Bankswitching from now on so that when I buy the bulk chips to slap onto my 3D printed boards I can just make games all day. I never really needed some ludicrous assholey masonic fucktard bastard acting like charity on the livid to make my games. I wish I would have programmed Street Fight World in 32k from the beginning and left out the DPC+ extras as I would have been able to make the game myself by now. Don't ask the ever-important for their considerations and remember..

 

It's not the biggest man with the most friends and the loudest cry that catches gods ear but the smallest child in the darkest room on the bleakest night with the faintest whisper.

Oh, I forgot. This is an Odyssey 2 game. Sorry. I wasn't talking about anybody WE know. Like from here. I was talking about another guy who I thought was going to check out my stuff. This guy is totally different. His name is A$$bert. I'm truly sorry to everyone. I really didn't mean it. I've had a rough past few months. I remember really liking my Odyssey 2. Buttons and I had both, and if I remember correctly, the Odyssey 1 was really crappy. How would I try this game?

 

(I really love Albert. He's an excellent human being.)
