Soooo... the floods and the broken trains are bad news for my bank account (can't get to work) and good news for minority hobby, labours of love...
So the shark tracks you down and the fish has some tendencies to avoid you.
Am leaving animation for now to concentrate on the mechanics so next I will use the (already in place) collision detection to:
- Die when the shark gets you
- Make the fish disappear when you catch it
- Make the fish disappear when the shark eats it... maybe... then you have to balance caution of the shark with beating the shark to the fish
- Respawn new fish after they are collected/eaten
- Cry after failing to get the collision detection to work accurately or how I think it ought to work
By the looks of the trains I may be programming 6809 assembler tomorrow too!

Just a quick update on progress... Big Blue was always going to be my public, learn to code project and I had a clear idea what my actual first physical release would be that was to be kept secret.
The secret game will now be my 2nd release as I started liking Big Blue a lot and having lots (too many) ideas for it.
Progress isn't so fast since the unplanned week off work let me get a good start but I'm plodding along as is the design and plans for the packaging.
I will probably post 1 or 2 more vids but now I plan a physical release I will probably hold back a few surprises!

Hoping to see the pregresses soon! I love sea themed games! And this reminds me my old time favorite inty game Shark! Shark! I will die to see it ported to the vectrex! Please consider this after completing the big blue... you can reuse some of the graphics and it will be a fabulous addiction to the few two player games on the system! Please please please!!!

I didn't know this game but just checked and it's essentially an early version of Feeding Frenzy... I guess that wouldn't be too hard to make given the way Vectrex uses scaling on 'sprites'. Who knows! cNp |
