Nosehair Odyssey² redux

One of the reasons I quit working on the Odyssey² version of Uncle Hairy's Nosehair was because I couldn't get the cutting version right when the scissors went up and down one space instead of 12. I thought to myself "There has to be a way to do this." So I started all over again. After a few hours of testing and retesting, I have this version. You can move the scissors up and down and it will move up and down smoothly and (I think) cut the hair where it needs to be cut and not make it shorter than the snot dangling from the end. That was what the problem was: If you cut the hair, sometimes you got a big gaping hole between the end of the nosehair and the snot.

 

The snot needs to be there at the end of the hair to give it the illusion that the hair is growing slowly because the Odyssey² can't make the grid go up nor down by 1 pixel (or left and right by 1 pixel) This is why you don't see any scrolling games for the Odyssey² (ones that use the grid anyway).

So after I completed this, it was way after my bedtime. I went to sleep at 5 p.m. and woke up at about 1:30 a.m. Yes, that is eight hours of sleep, not the 12 I usually get.
