CartCollector updated his “Generic Text Scroller” for NES.

Release notes:

UPDATE: The Generic Text Scroller is now version 0.2! It now comes with a program that allows you to convert text files into the .bin files that the program uses. Tedious hex editing is no longer necessary to change the .bin file.

You control a ball and it’s your duty to keep it within the play field as long as possible

smkd is working on a “Thrust Inspired Game” for the NES. However here are the latest news along with a new binary:

Quote:

thanks.

I’ve had the ambigous front end pointed out before, where the guy suggested that the tip be colored differently. I passed on it, but that idea of making the base of it thicker does a great job I think. I updated the chr in my rom with that.

I’ve darkened the terrain since that seems to make the flicker not so apparent, but is it too dark? It’s not something I paid much attention to, but the issue is there.

As far as names go, I am thinking a cheap acronym; STING:

Somewhat
Thrust
Inspried
NES
Game

I’ll just call it that if I don’t think of anything else.

News from smkd:

My small thrust inspired game is mostly complete. Can’t think of anything major to add to it at the moment, except for the horrible lack of a title. Five levels with a mostly introductory first level and a few additional enemies. It’s not much on presentation or audio but I think it’s reasonably playable. What do you think?

There was a randomly occurring bug (good god I hate these) where it would glitch on loading a strip of graphics in the level, but I think I’ve patched that up.
