Technically a game.

The more stuff I put in the game, the harder it gets. I struggled for a few hours to get this.

As you can see, I've added more clouds in the game. In order for me to get a game over message, I've added the collision detection between burger and milkshake. I'll tell you why this is so hard even though it's in c. I can't call voids that are a certain length away from each other. Like when I decided to call the GameOver void from the Shake void, it wouldn't let me because the GameOver void was too far away from the Shake void. So I had to merge the two. A lot of merging of voids (and one completely duplicated void) later, it FINALLY let me compile. Lots more attempts later, (and lots more going back and fixing code) I had it the way I wanted it for now.

 

Now I have more stuff to do:

  • have milkshakes shoot onion rings (this may be way too hard)
  • add a crash sfx for burger running into milkshake
  • add a "game over" jingle. The game pauses for a few seconds before you can press Start to get back to the title screen for this.

 

But I am sick of it. So I'll take the weekend off and come back to it Monday. Perhaps sometime this weekend I'll compose the sound effects I was talking about. At least I figured out how to use FamiTracker enough to merge the music codes and add songs to the allthesongsinthegame file. I still don't know what an "instrument" is, though, or how you can get one. I've been taking instruments from the demo files and importing them into my music file. I really need help with this. Where can I ask questions? Is there an NES programmer's Discord or something? I don't have Facebook, nor Twitter, MySpace, or any other of that crap. And HOPEFULLY I can test this on Monday.
