Love Is A Battlefield v2018.04.25 (PICO-8 Game)

Love Is A Battlefield by F1Krazy combines a bullet-hell shooter with a dating sim. On the surface, it’s a game about shooting hearts at coloured circles while your date asks you if you know who Pat Benatar is for the sixth time. Deep down, though, it’s about helping others to deal with their insecurities and break down their emotional barriers.

Release notes:

Fixed the various boss fight glitches, such as the game not ending when you run out of health, the menu cursor not aligning properly, and the health bar going into the negatives. I won’t be updating the game again until after LD41 is over.

Video: NES Programming #23 – Sprite 0 and MMC3 (NES misc)

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

Quote:

This week we figured out why the sprite 0 code was slowing things down for the game when there were lots of entities on screen and then we figured out how to change the game to run with mapper MMC3. I wasn’t able to get the scanline interrupts working properly yet but we’ll get that handled on Thursday. Thanks to those who watched!
