Apparently impossible

So apparently it's impossible what I want to have happen in my game. Because if it was, it would have happened by now. Because I tried just about every single thing. I've tried just about every sequence. In both files. And what I want to have happen won't. So I'm close to just giving up. Now I know why I gave up the first time. It's just too freaking hard. And I'm also giving up programming in general. Because all it does is just makes me angry and suicidal. Because I can't do it very well. And I don't want to be angry. It's not fun. And since I'm giving up, I'd like to thank the 2600 Connection and Packrat for publishing my games. Now I'm going to spend the time I would have spent cussing out the stupid computer trying to make it do impossible things with actually playing the games I do have. This will eventually probably lead to more cussing since I can't play video games very well, either. Perhaps I should just leave AtariAge altogether. Thoughts?

I finally did what I wanted. I don't know why it took about literally half a day's worth of time programming it. But I don't know whether I should continue. If just a title screen was this hard, who knows how hard a full game would be?

Wow, you're giving up after just half-a-day of working on a hard problem? Sometimes I encounter issues that take me days of full time coding to figure out and resolve -- especially those nasty insidious bugs whose solution involve changing other parts of the system.

 

You should never give up. You should always strive to complete at least some of your projects. I know it's silly, but remember what Mary Poppins says: Half-begun is half-way done. In other words, getting started is the hardest part. :)
