Level 1 done, now mapping level 2 from my #pico8 #moonpatrol to my new #picotron version.
I've somehow upped the difficulty, pretty stressful jumping all those holes!

Adding #scamble style levels into my #picotron #moonpatrol. Randomly generated landscape (seeded so I can repeat layouts) and rockets.
I think it'll fit in pretty well. Nice to mix it up.

Gets tricky in later levels of my #picotron #moonpatrol.
For the OG mode, I'm converting the layouts directly from my #pico8 version (give or take).
2 more enemy types to do: missiles and plants. Then I can work on enhanced mode stuff!
Keeping my mind busy.

Really enjoyed my #pico8 version of #moonpatrol and also the excellent music by @notehead.bsky.social

Thinking of doing an enhanced version for #picotron. Experimenting with ideas at the moment. Graphically, I really like the #msx version

Continues. Something I never even thought of adding to my games until requested a week ago for my #pico8 #moonpatrol.
Seems a totally obvious QoL addition! I now give the player up to 3 continues. Hi-scores are ineligible if you use one.

Love listening to music while I'm coding. Now listening to piano versions of one of my favourite video game soundtracks: #cavestory
I'll listen to the actual OST after this (not on Spotify that I can find) but this piano version is very relaxing.

2 weeks today since my dad passed, holding my hand. 40+ hour trip from NZ to Surrey just in time. Not the 7 week stay I was expecting
He introduced me to programming in 1983 & I've fond memories playing Wizard or Wor with him
Life changes; we just have to adapt to new states of "normal" 🥹😢
