I could do 3 lanes without much issue. And then if I add the other items and pedestrians that would also fix that you have something comming from the other side to avoid. There was other things I was going to add as well such as cars switching lanes.
Thanks! Ya, I was going to add a bit more but reduced it to ensure I could finish it without bugs within the timeframe.
I had thought about cars coming from the other direction but I wanted to keep correct traffic. I could create a 3rd lane that is the opposite direction but that would only be 1 lane. To combat the just sit at the edge of the screen to collect, I was going to add other items that would be negative points as well as pedestrians crossing the street you shouldn't hit.
Also, the game has 3 modes. Easy, Medium and Hard. The default is Easy and is meant to be very easy to beat the game.
Thanks! Ya, I had a lot more plans for it like audio, having pedestrians running on the side walk, crossing the street. Having the car able to fly after collecting certain points, etc. however, as the time went on I started cutting things to ensure I can finish it on time and to reduce the likely hood of having bugs. There was supposed to be more items as well. So I kept it down to what I could reasonably accomplish without having any bugs.
Haha, the font is 8x8 BIOS ROM font, but I scale it. This is the font you would see on a console text mode screen in like an 80x25 configuration.
FYI - I forgot to disable my debug checks in the code. This doesn't make any difference since it shouldn't catch any issues (it will INT 3 if it does). However, DO NOT PRESS "D"!. D stands for "DEBUG", it was a way for me to, if I saw a bug, to just quickly break into the application to dump the structures. The D key will issue an INT 3 and if you don't have a debugger connected will exit the application. If you have a debugger connected, then it will break into the debugger and you can debug it. I've included FULL SYMBOLS in the submission so you can debug it with symbols if you want.
Thanks! BTW, there's 3 modes. Easy, Medium and Hard. The default is Easy mode. You can change that in Options.
Ya, Audio was on my list to add but I didn't get around to creating the Audo engine :) I may add it later but not part of the Jam. Once you beat the level, it wraps back to Level 1. Once you die, you can save your score so it you just hit escape or exited then you loose it. If you just crash into cars on Level 1 once it wraps around it will ask you to save the score and it will save it in the DATA directory.
