Yeah, Snake is 320x240. For 160 mode you normally disable the base image and enable partial image 0 and 1. The only color you get though is white. Remember in Buttonz how I turned off the backlight to make it 'black'? Unfortunately, that resets the contrast, so you would have to save and restore it. IViewer does the same thing so that users cant see the image loading, it would be nice if I could write some text to it!

So awesome

Even though its a simple game, overall I'm proud of it. It's pretty hard at the later levels and I haven't beat level 10 yet! Graphically, its nice, there probably aren't going to be too many games that use 16bit images at full resolution. Not one byte is left to add anything. I had to remove 3 textures and optimize it for size to get all the necessary stuff in. The title itself is pretty small and it has a bug. I wrote the wrong length of the image in the drawing routine but it looked better than the normal image, so I kept it in! Originally you got a point for every time you moved. To keep players from looping infinitely collecting those points, I had planned to add in a hawk that appeared after a while and follow the player around to keep them dodging and moving. It would be nice to dim and set the screen to low color on pause, but there just wasn't any room, so I left it out. After Pacman, I will probably start doing multi-page games. 16k isn't enough for me

When I start off I code more towards speed and then towards the end if necessary, I'll go back and optimize for speed. There is still a few things I could do like move routines around so jr works everywhere. I think that is probably my biggest code space saver, because I always use jp. Optimizing code doesn't really free up that much space though, I'd say about 100-200 bytes. It's good enough to fit in a small feature, but when I need lots of space, I can remove graphics, which I hate doing! The graphics are what this calc is good at. Oh, and from mockup to finish, it only took me about 10 days! Not too bad!

Thanks DJ! Start from level 0 and every time a bug shows up eat as many spiders as you can! They're worth 50 points and can rack up points faster than eating the mice and frogs.

*Going to play it right now!

That will definitely be changed! Its enough to lose a life not lose the points too! And its hard enough just to get through the level alone, and when you're doing really good, thats when you die! I will probably remove the skip level, and add options for length and speed.
