It was the 2nd thing I ever did with IntyBasic to force some structure to the code. Maybe calling it a game was incorrect, a puzzle would be a better description because there is a way to find the cat..

I apologize if I misunderstood, but when I ran it, all I got was a white screen and nothing happened after that. I tried moving and smashing buttons and couldn't get any feedback, so I assumed it was just a joke that wasted my time. How do you play the game then?

freewheel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I just got the thread title. It's been a busy week for my brain. For those that don't understand snow puns (waves to nanochess): Earlier this year my city had a very, very early dump of a LOT of snow. I'm not a twitter person, but I did laugh at the various hashtags that came out. One of the best being #snomg. Canadians "enjoy" our snow. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/231793-new-intellivision-game-its-snow-fun/#findComment-3113530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I guess game isn't the correct term, puzzle is more correct. Look for a magic number to find the cat.

+Tarzilla Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Technically no, as the "It's Snow Fun" puzzle and the "It Snow Fun" game are two different things. But it is funny how you can see something over and over and not notice because you are focused on the game play part of the game you are programming. I'll fix the missing "'s" in a future update.

I'll let Revolutionika decide on the final name (pun or not) since I've been dealing with this the last two days, I don't believe snow and fun belong in the same sentence It is also minus 31 degrees Celsius (really F'n cold for you Americans on the Fahrenheit scale) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/231793-new-intellivision-game-its-snow-fun/#findComment-3123159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Tarzilla Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Snowver Bovver? Except that...don't make me delete the code... Not inspired by a certain british lawn mower game (that I was blissfully unaware of until this summer when I stumbled upon it while searching for something else) instead inspired more by Dig Dug and Mr. Do and their digging mechanic. You are a kid that has to shovel snow, your own and friends and neighbours. The amount of blue pixels detemines how deep (of 3 or 4 depths) You have to shovel it to the sides while some animals or people interfere. Part puzzle, part action. You can't block cars.There will be a random pussy hidden in the snow. Earn money to buy bigger shovels, even a flamethrower. Different days (rounds) will have different amounts of snow and cars and outside temperature (related to a bonus timer, get too cold, you have to go inside to warm up) etc. Different screens for each job. Voice support of your dad yelling at you.
