Tunnels of Terror - Sep. 26, 2021

So I decided to use that empty bank to display a WAVE intro screen. I woke up this morning having done a little work last night. I made it so the wave number displayed is a two digit number. That means you can go up to wave 99. The problem this morning was making it so the score doesn't flash when it switches banks. It took a couple of hours and testing and retesting it on a real Odyssey² to make sure it didn't. I made a little wave ditty that goes with the wave number screen. Since that's in there, I now have to make it so you can get to a different wave.

 

I'll take a look at the Turmoil manual to see how the wave number is determined. No more work for today, I've had enough at only 8:40 a.m. I think if you go over wave 99, it will display a jumbled mix of characters. Which is okay because I doubt anyone will get to wave 99. Sort of like how they didn't expect anyone to get more than 9 lives in Super Mario Bros. as a kid and me wondering why ten displayed as "crown 0".
