Dennis, this is the first time I've played the game and it's great. I actually like it better without the objects at all. Still undecided on which one I like better if I *had* to pick. Also, maybe you could move the ball from left side to right side on alternate levels just for a bit of variety Anyway, my .02 - jw - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Debro" <ddebro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <stella@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 4:59 PM Subject: [stella] I need a little direction for Climber 5?? > Hi all, > > I'm at a point where I need direction again as to which way to go with this game. I went with Thomas' suggestion of having the girders move the obstacles as they fall and think this works great. I like it better than having then bounce and change direction when they hit a walkway. Plus that technique would sort push the game closer to another A8 game named Desmond's Dungeon :-) > > I have 2 versions here... > 1) the obstacles are pushed by the girders > 2) where they do a sort of bounce > > With bounce I mean they change horizontal direction when they hit a girder and their direction won't change again until they hit a girder moving in the opposite direction. > > The bounce feature makes the game a little harder. So why not add it to the difficulty switch? Well for one I'm running out of ROM space (typical excuse). The other is I want to limit the difficulty switches only to player 1. I don't want to overload the player. I already have the left difficulty switch turning off the girder change direction warning. Would adding the bounce effect be too much? > > Tell me what you think. > > I'm so very close to finishing this now. Next is to have a better object spawning algorithm and a few more bonus items.
