So, I'm once again trying to ramp up JoustPong development,
ideally for a release at PhillyClassic. I've been having some
personal crises (computer, marriage, and car failures, in that
order) but now I'd like to get back in the saddle.
I spent some time getting that wall thing going, but its
both A. a bear to debug (and I'm still getting some bogus
bounces, where the ball deflects but no brick is removed)
and B. straining my meager abilities as a kernal writer...
Also C., it kind of misses the origianl simplicity of
JoustPong, and while some extra complexity makes it seem
like a richer game, and seeming is important, I jsut see it
as mostly lengthening it. And if I put in a routine to
restore bricks, it'll be even slower... I'd rather spend time
doing multiball and maybe throwing in Pterry in the center,
deflecting the ball...
I dunno. it's bug (that I thought was fixed) has really gotten
me down on it...
As always, almost the latest version is at
http://alienbill.com/joustpong/
(I fixed one simple bug where I was forgetting to blank out GRP0
and GRP1)
Hrmm.
