The Maxx Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Did the TI version keep score? I'll check when I get home. If not, should the game keep track of how many Wumpuses (Wumpii?) are killed without the player dying or...?

+eebuckeye Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Great game! The TI version does keep track of score for each. I think it kept track of the number of Wumpus kills, Wumpus victims and falling into the pits if I remember correct.

The Maxx Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Ah, cool! I went and checked the manual and you are absolutely correct! I have some leftover variables; I don't think this would be at all difficult to implement. Maybe on the title screen, I could have the score display yellow for the number of wins, change to red for the number of times eaten, and then to green for the number of pits fallen into. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/262944-hunt-the-wumpus-atari-2600/#findComment-3712270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maxx Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) wumpus beta 03f The "blindfold" mode works on real hardware now. Scoring is also implemented. There is a known bug where sometimes a stray pixel shows up on a map. I don't know why and I have no idea where to start to try to remedy this. It doesn't affect gameplay. It just makes me swear... a lot, but the neighbors have only called the police twice. Note: The "blindfold" mode is set using the color/b&w switch because I discovered that the difficulty switch is broken on my VCS... :C /me swears some more and flips the birdy at the Atari.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Fixing strays is important. Otherwise, you'd soon have a whole lot of little pixels running all over your neighborhood - knocking over trash cans, pooping in your yard, getting eaten by raccoons. Then you'd have to put out traps to catch them, and nobody wants to have to do that. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/262944-hunt-the-wumpus-atari-2600/#findComment-3714039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maxx Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) I just swapped that last binary with beta 03h. It has all the previous changes, a couple of graphical glitches are fixed, and a tweak to the title screen. I need to remake about 5 maps. If anyone is interested, I could upload the map editing tool I made and you could submit a map?

PacManPlus Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have to say again that this game is awesome! If I may, just one thing: on the TI version, when the bat gets you, he places you in a different cell of the same maze. In this version you are placed in a completely different maze. Was that intentional? Thank you for this!

The Maxx Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Yes, it was intentional. In this version, the maps are quite a bit smaller. So I thought switching maps would better disorient the player. I might be able to throw in an option to stay on a single map, but I'd probably use the second difficulty switch... because, as I said above, my stinking Atari is broken. Also, if I recall correctly, I was never very happy when the bat dropped me in a pit or handed me over to the Wumpus. Haha.

The cut scenes are a nice touch I might be able to throw in an option to stay on a single map, but I'd probably use the second difficulty switch... because, as I said above, my stinking Atari is broken.
