Break time over. I put the crab in the game. As it stands now, I have used up 1,986 out of 2,048 bytes. It took a little bit more room than I anticipated. Like in Mario Bros., it takes two hits to get rid of the crab, so I put in a hit audio cue. Of course, it's sort of not needed for the goomba, but I left it in anyway as it would take more room to not put it at a goomba hit. It's kind of interesting what can be accomplished if you have no life. I think it took about a week and a half from zero to almost done. The game hurt my brain though, I keep wondering why stuff works sometimes and then other times not. I guess I'll never know unless I delve into how the Odyssey 2 works. And even if I did, I don't know whether I could understand it or not. I also put a link to the game's webpage in my signature.
