I edited this because I need an 8x7 sprite design for the players... Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled blog...

Last night I decided to work on Maze Craze 2. Well, this is no longer the official name. I think I'll call it "Twisty Passages" unless someone has a better idea.

I've pared it down to 4k (or 4056 bytes, excluding the Supercharger headers) so I can enter it in the Minigame compo. To do so I had to eliminate the title screen and music, plus simplify the maze selection. Also, the difficulty options can no longer be set in the same way - the bot is always "smart." However, you can still choose to generate a braided maze by setting the left difficulty switch to A. (This doesn't always work in Stella unless you hold down the difficulty switch key while pressing reset - I think this might be a bug in the emulator.)

You can generate a new random maze by pressing reset. To choose a particular maze, hold select to count through the numbers. Holding select will gradually speed up the counting. Holding reset and select will whiz through the numbers at breakneck speed.
