Add the hash toolset to the baseline disk image. Add md2teach so the build can turn a markdown file into a Teach text file at build time. Introduce the Read.Me from the distribution to the GitHub repository as a markdown file so it can be translated to Teach.

Major rework because I am out of code space in the main segment. Move some stuff around in the C code to get them into other segments. Change the network code so that most of its globals are actually allocated dynamically when network functionality is detected. Change the network state machine so the connection is closed and re-opened on each transaction rather than trying to hold the connection open. It was failing during the game because the network is not being polled. Provide some visual feedback if there is a network problem in the game itself.
Re-opening the connection isn't working for some reason but this is getting pretty close to working.

Bump the version to 1.9 since this is work towards v2.0. Add the structs for the messages to a server side high score list. Add the hash tool to the boot image for network testing. The requests will use hashes to validate that they come from the game.

Turns out I only have fixed the "magically appearing mushroom" bug. I fixed it for slow moving centipedes coming on screen but there was a second case of the same problem for fast moving centipedes. So fix that now also. Bump the version number to 1.0.1. I will do a patch update at some point but I don't think this bug deserves pushing out a quick release update. It is an annoying minor bug at most.

Start to change the sound code to wait for the doc to be free and to write and then read to verify that the register write succeeded or try again. That seems to cleanup the sound on real HW. I have only done this for the bonus and the firing sound but probably all register writes should be done this way.

Add the source wav files that I used for the sound samples and add a script which I used to convert them to a raw format that can be played on the GS. That should make it easier to modify the sounds if necessary in the future. Converting the sounds from wav to raw is not part of the build. The raw files themselves are committed in the repository although the build could be changed to generate the raw sounds at build time.

Add the ability to use mame as the GS emulator. The mouse works better under mame than GSPlus for this game. For now, I have both options in the launchEmulator script with one of them commented out. It would be good to put this into the base Makefile infrastructure so mame could be selected as the emulator to use.

This build has the player moving in X and Y directions and with cleaner handling of the dirty tile to remove the inefficiencies. The good news is that there is no longer any performance problem at 2.8 MHz now that the inefficient dirty tile handling has been removed. The bad news is that they player leaves garbage behind indicating some kind of problem with dirty tile marking. But it is close.

Replace the C code which built tables at game launch time with a script which generates these tables at build time. This reduces the start time of the application and saves code space and is a necessary step before adding some new tables to handle the mouse efficiently.

Implement the code to add the flea at the right time. This includes tracking the score in multiples of 20,000 and adjusting the number of mushrooms required in the infield before a flea will appear. Simplify the other score based thresholds which are based on multiples of 20,000 to use this test. Add debug which allows me to add 20,000 to the score whenever I want so I can test these thresholds more easily.

Implement the code to add spiders to the game. From my testing, it looks like 2 seconds after a spider leaves the game (either shot or off the screen), another one is added. Also, once the score is about 5000, the spiders added will be fast. The only spider behaviour I know of which is so far not implemented is as the player reaches higher levels, the spider constrains itself closer and closer to the bottom of the screen.

Hook up the score. Shooting fleas, spiders, scorpions or segments will increase the score. We track the score in two ways. One is just as a 32-bit unsigned integer for doing numeric comparisons on the score (say to the high score list to be implemented in the future) and secondly as a series of numeric digits displayed in a tile. Both are updated.
