+atari2600land Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Wave 5 added. In wave 5, the waffles follow your y position and try to get you. Fortunately, they're kind of slow, so you can (hopefully) dodge them. The website is now in my signature.

+atari2600land Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Would the game be better with a background instead of it being all white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You would need to take in account the relative contrast of each item, otherwise everything would get confused. In the old times we used B&W tv sets, but now simply pass the image thru the B&W filter of your favorite paint program. If you don't see something, it will be hard to see even when using color.

+atari2600land Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 OK, I guess not. I just thought a white background was bland, but I guess it has to be that way else the waffles will be hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Perhaps you can have a discreet background, not something that looks like a 1970's wallpaper. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 The INTV only has 16 colors. I chose the color closest to white I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Took out the diagonal waffle wave since I never could get it to work right. So now the layout is: wave 1 = normal wave 2 = bouncy wave 3 = circles wave 4 = following What I am planning on doing is beginning at wave 5 is make the wave type random. But I haven't done that yet.

+atari2600land Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I had no idea my game was causing the stack to overflow once wave 16 was reached! I think I fixed a whole lotta bugs and made the wave type random after wave 4. Edited July 23, 2017 by atari2600land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If you take a look at games that use similar video hardware, the background is almost always black. Take a look at the original 125 games on the Inty and you will see many solid colors with "terrain add-ins" - think of Space Hawk stars, Worm Whomper plants, etc. Would the game be better with a background instead of it being all white? shot0046.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth999x Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Suggestion: Why not change backrounds at different levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Just to let you know: The Secret Government Waffle Project is still in development. In fact, I just worked on it yesterday. That is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
