atari2600land's Blog - More with Virtual Dieter

[RSS Bot]

Read about the game here. I want the finished project to be 2k, which is getting harder with each version. I had to make the game less beautiful by having two 1-colored sprites instead of three 2-colored sprites. I added a weight-loss pill, though, something that was missing in the first version. So far, my highest score has been 200 on the latest version. After compressing over and over again, I have 6 bytes left. The good news is I don't see any bugs. That's a good reason for writing <4k games: It's easy to keep track of all the code. Especially if you have a short attention span like me. One of the reasons I don't like movies: They're too long. I think movie companies should make half-hour movies. It'd get me to go to the theater. Working on Virtual Dieter has made me hungry for shrimp though, but I'm on a diet (one of the reasons I decided to ressurect this game from the dead). Oh well.
