Progress...
- Added scoring
- Added high score table
- Added level completion
- Added tank shooting
- Also fixed a load of bugs
Phew!
The tank shooting turned out to be not as awful as I thought it would be. Once I had some functions sorted out to check if chars were empty, to copy characters down, it all came together. Interestingly, having the timer in place really adds something to navigating the bottom half of the screen. Knowing that it's ticking away up there and you can't see it really adds to the tension of trying to get out of the diamond room.
Only got a few functional tasks left now:
- Robots
- The Pit room
- Falling missiles
- Shooting
Then it's just making sure two player works, increasing the difficulty, different level layouts etc.
Then I can finally play around with my Next
