Awful Waffles: test room 2

So I had to go through a whole bunch of garbage to get to this point. I still haven't managed to make the guy stay out of the blocks when he's falling down and touching one.

What I wanted to do is make the guy's hands not touch the block above. But I can't so it will have to stay this way. At least I made it so the guy doesn't fall through the blocks when he's at the edge of one:

I don't know why this has to be so HARD though. And there's rules I had to make for room designing to ensure the code doesn't go crazy.

 

In case you're wondering. that six-digit number at the bottom is the score.

 

This is NOT going to be scrolling. Oh no. I don't think I could possibly make a scrolling platformer on Intellivision if you gave me one million years to try to. But now I've thought too much and my head hurts so I'm going to quit programming for today even though I just woke up 3 hours ago and I've been stuck on the computer (well, not "stuck," I could have continued giving up.)

The scrolling itself isn't that hard, it can be done in 50-100 lines of code. I understand that the collision detection and preventing the player to get stuck can be a challenge if things are carried out in a non-optimal order.

This is probably what I'd have the most trouble with. So I'm not going to even try!
