So thanks Dennis Debro, that was indeed the problem.
And I'm using B. Watson's kernal diagnostic macro stuff,
which is pretty cool.
So I should try to figure out what are the must-dos before
Philly Classic, when I'd really like to release it...
Some ideas are:
*Pterry in the middle...but at the cost of some flicker?
I think if I alternate frames, like so: (with 1 = player 1,
2 = player 2, P = Pterry)
[1 2]
[1 P ]
[1 2]
[ P 2]
[1 2]
That would mean each player is shown 3 out of 4 frames,
and Pterry is shown every other frame.
As opposed to
[1 P ]
[ P 2]
[1 P ]
[ P 2]
where Pterry is solid, but each player is only there 1/2 the
time...I'm worried about missing hits but that's about it.
* letting people add wall back in...I'm not sure if I'm as
crazy about this, I'd have to hack up more AI, and it means
the control scheme is fancier.
* variable ball angles...maybe 4 or 6 angles, based on how
fast the player is moving when it hits the ball. In this
case, in the variations w/ wall, it makes the players at least
feel they can get some strategy in...
* some kind of tune on the title screen...though with some early
experiments, I wasn't quite able to quantize the rhythm I
was hoping for, any suggestions?
* Have the ball speed up over gameplay...might be more trouble
than it's worth 'cause I'm not sure its worth that much
Well, that's about it. What is worth pursuing in the meager time
I have left?
