I counted 204 dots and 4 pieces of fruit

As I recently did the same for Blue Meanies, I'm picking away at the basic code of this game to see how it works. I've removed all the integer types except for on the arrays where they do save space, and changed so you can press any key to start a game. I'll see if I can fix some of the bugs once I...

Oh please, no! I can (sort of) see the need for smaller-format cards for mobile phone, but for the FE3 a 'full-sized' SD card-slot is better. It will also offer the option to use SD and micro SD cards. MicroSD are just too fiddly... Interesting you feel strongly about this. I'll have a check about ...

The middle photos is actually the Vic-20 "Euro" style keyboard.

I'm not sure of the exact reason they brought out this 'PET-like" font, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can explain.

Whatever. End of thread. I'll continue writing in the repo as I'm getting a strong sense of wasting everybody's time here. Not at all... I'm sure I'm not the only one here who thinks it's very interesting to read this kind of thread. Just because we don't' always post responses, doesn't mean we're ...

Looks great!

Can someone post a quick video on YT showing the game in action? I don't have my Vic-20 at hand to try it out...

Cheers,

Mike.

Fantastic - what a brilliant effort!

Wow - looking really great... "Mom + Dad" - is this NTSC-specific... Does that mean the PAL version with be "Mum + Dad" or "Mam + Dad"? :-) The platform design, baddies and colour-combinations are amazing... Reminds me of a mixture of H.E.R.O and Bounty-Bob Strikes Back...

This is looking to be one of, if not THE, best platformer ever on the Vic...

As an aside, someone called me a "massive hunt" the other day, or at least that's what it sounded like...

Wow - so polished!

This would've sold a million, back in the day.

Really looking forward to the final release.

Very nice progress and effects. I still feel like the 'flickering' candle effect detracts from the look - appears more like a glitch than an effect, particularly since there's no candle visible... Ideally it would be nice to have a circular 'spotlight', but I appreciate that may be too complex. Fail...

Great stuff... Thanks for the effort!

Very nice looking game. However the flickering in the illuminated area around the character is a little disconcerting.

Is that a design feature, or just a Vic limitation?

Cheers,

Mike.

Ah, a little far away from me (Australia!)
