Not sure if this can happen on the left side also. This is likely a problem with the mushroom collision detection and a segment which is mostly off-screen should probably ignore blocking mushrooms until on-screen. * Sometimes centipede segments seem to be stacked one on top of another. You think there is just one left but you shoot it and there is one underneath it. This should not happen. * A spider moving left to right went off screen and left garbage on the RHS as it exited. I have only seen this once. I think it coincided with the player dying. * Sometimes when the player dies, the "you can shoot" indicator is left behind as garbage on-screen. * If you die holding the mouse button down, your next game will start shooting without pressing the mouse button. + * I was reproducing this reliably on real HW but I don't see it from either emulator. Need to try to reproduce it again on real HW. + * I also don't see how this happens given how the code is structured. FIXED ======= +* When a centipede segment is added on the right, if there is a mushroom either right at the edge or maybe on tile from the edge (not sure which), the segment seems to turn around and travel up along the edge of the screen. Not sure if this can happen on the left side also. This is likely a problem with the mushroom collision detection and a segment which is mostly off-screen should probably ignore blocking mushrooms until on-screen. * A shot is able to pass through an almost gone mushroom if lined up just right. Best to change the sprite code for the shot to scan the two pixels below for a collision. * I have seen a couple of crashes. I think an off-screen centipede segment is getting "shot" at the beginning of a level leading to a crash. Almost definitely related to collision and shot handling. * I am seeing other crashes where the PC ends up in bank 22 or so. Need to dig into the stack to figure out where it is coming from. diff --git a/BuGS/gameSegments.s b/BuGS/gameSegments.s index 0c6cc6d..1ce34a6 100644 --- a/BuGS/gameSegments.s +++ b/BuGS/gameSegments.s @@ -560,6 +560,13 @@ updateSegmentLeftFast_checkDir anop lda segmentStates,x cmp #SEGMENT_STATE_POISONED_HEAD beq updateSegmentLeftFast_changeDir +; This is a important special case.
