Wow!  How are you coding all of this?  Is it hardcoded or are you using some sort of fiendish scripting engine?

Thanks for the question BuilderBoy.

A little bit of both BuilderBoy. I treat all bullets as one type of object; collectable bombs as another type; and enemies as another type. Within each type of object, all of the similar functionality is common and the special abilities are hard-coded. Each object is defined by 6 bytes including platform objects in the level definition data structure. Bullets and triggers are scriptable... each script can perform one action and is also 6 bytes. Scripts can be daisy chained if more than one action is needed.

Thank you sir. It took a lot of thought (and a little bit of luck) as to how I was going to implement all of the features and store all of the data.

That looks very nice. The splash animation is perfect. I know its an explosion, but I usually refer to it as Splash

You love collecting those, don't you ^-^

But ... wow.

But I agree. I don't have an 89T, but I'll definitely suggest this to the people who do :D

I also wish I had an 89T. Great job Ranman! :) (I do believe I haven't congratulated him yet)
(I would like there to be a TI-86 Titanium, presumably with Flash ROM. That'd be awesome ;D)

Hey... Thanks everyone for the comments! :)

Currently, I'm working on the UFO level... The first level where Jumpman gets to shoot bullets -- haha something other than jump.
