You could always set aside a variable for the contrast and then allow the user to change it: at the beginning store something neutral as the contrast, say 30, then put check for the plus and minus keys, and increment or decrement the contrast variable accordingly.

yeah or try to make like in reuben or like dys said. Yay the enemy works now !!!! Could you make the octorock enemy  so that when you use your shield or your sword the rocks change direction and if they hit the enemy it dies or lose 1 energy? Also it would be cool if the rocks didnt flickered.

I'll try to come up with my title screen soon but you might have to change some stuff in your title screen so it wont flicker when contrast changes, I might post the code of it too

I dunno for mini games though  

Nice, I'm glad to hear that you will have features like that!
