Room 34
I've decided to continue work on Castle of Doom. I am wondering if I have room for an even 50 levels. And an ending. After all, defeating all those levels you might as well get one. How special it is depends on how much room the rest of the levels take up. Right now I have 35 rooms in there and 1,444 bytes left in bank 2, where rooms 27 and beyond are stored. Levels 1-26 and info are in the first bank, along with the "engine." So I figure if I can fit 26 rooms in a bank, then I SHOULD have room for 50 levels. (50-26=24, 24 more levels I needed to make after making level 26.) So if I needed 50 rooms, right now I need to design 15 more.
I had quite the challenge designing this one with the right amount of difficulty. It was going to be longer, but easier. I wanted it to be tougher, so I cut it short and added more bats. The only trouble is I only have 137 bytes left in the first bank, so I don't have much room for special bat movements. I just paused working on this blog and was able to free up 20 or so bytes.
So that's what I've been doing today. These last few days I have been going to sleep at about midnight and waking up at noon or so. It takes a lot less time to go to sleep if I go to sleep later, so that's what I've been doing. The only downside is that since I need 12 hours of sleep, I wake up at noon. I'm going to try some melatonin.
