My program won’t work with my FlashBoy+. To make sure my FlashBoy+ worked okay, I put another game on it and it works. But this one doesn’t. And there’s this super long pause before it even starts in Mednafen. What am I doing wrong? I attached the entire project. Why why why?!
I’m back and working on this again. Right now this is just a title screen, but I plan to make a full-fledged game out of this.
Tomorrow I’ll work on jumping. And then it’s on past the title screen.

There is a huge discrepancy between the title screen and in-game. The in-game seems a lot slower than the title screen. But it was a huge ordeal to just not make it flicker like crazy on a real VB. I do not remember it being this hard to program for. I’m using the Soviet sound engine and the tempo of the title screen music is 20. Well, for the in-game music to sound the same, I had to set it to 10. That’s how big of a difference there is. And if I try to program it any other way than what I have now, it flickers like crazy on a real VB so I have to do it this way. To start the game, press Start.
The Craig the Cranberry website is born. You can check it out here: http://www.atari2600land.com/vbdev/craig.html It links to the Mednafen emulator page on Planet VB. If you’d rather me just link to the main page, just let me know and I’ll change it. Anyway, I added a hole for Craig to jump over. Of course they had to make it really hard and have blank tiles in the map be transparent and not black. So I had to make a new tile map and change the palette.
And now a plea. Can we PLEASE have signatures on this forum? I promise not to put pictures in it and limit it to 3 lines. Other forums have these limits, why not this one?

Added a health meter and enemy. You’ll take damage if you touch the enemy, so it’s best not to.

I pondered this one for a long time. I wanted to have a ?-block type thing, like in Mario games. But I didn’t want to use a ? because Nintendo already used it in Mario games. So I thought “What can I do to put items in and not have them simply be laying on the ground?” Then it hit me: What comes out of the ?-blocks? Items. So I made it the I-block. (i is short for ‘item’.) A can of cranberry juice restores Craig’s health to full. You hit the I-Block from below like a ?-block, and then the ?-block breaks open and a can appears floating and you jump up and get it and it restores your health.

I am going to take a short break on the game. To ponder what should happen next with the game. My main influence of this game is Kirby 64. I’ve wanted a Mario type game for the Virtual Boy that isn’t Wario Land.
