Witchbeat (PICO-8 Game)

Witchbeat is a PICO-8 game by dragonxvi.

The illustrious Rhythm Witch Anemone Reawolf has a problem – her underground storeroom is in complete disarray and the Storemasterโ€™s nowhere to be seen. Can you navigate a trap-filled dungeon, rescue the odd fairy and uncover the true mastermind behind all this chaos?!

Witchbeat fuses rhythm-game mechanics with good olโ€™ dungeon delving. Get close (but not too close!) to your enemy and attack in time with the beat. Solve puzzles, find keys, beat up blobs and generally faff about.

Video: NES Programming #24 – Interrupting The Interrupter (NES misc)

Michael Chiaramonte shows us once again how to do some NES Programming.

In this episode I got the MMC3 IRQ working once I realized the I had to re-enable interrupts on the CPU. After that, we saw what happened as you mess with the nametables while scrolling and experimented with one solution to vertical scrolling and scanline counting. I need to some more research to see how other games do this. Thanks for watching and see you next stream!
