Still needs a lot of polish, but it's a start.

Some progress on #Murtop for the #NES:

- Started working on explosions (very glitchy).
- Added collision boxes for rocks, enemies, etc.
- Added a winning animation with a cool fade out!
- Implemented the bonus score screen.

I don't know how I'll handle the explosions, though... Remember those from the arcade game? There are a lot (of sprites)! 💣💥😱

Here are the actual YY-CHR and NESST from Murtop

And to create the backgrounds, I'm using "nesst" (NES Screen Tool)

Here's an example of the flicker on/off

There's also the "8 sprites per scanline" limitation, which causes the infamous flickering, which is actually something the developers had to code, not a built-in feature.

And you can only have 64 sprites at the same time on the screen.

The NES uses 8x8 sprites and each sprite can have 4 colors (3 colors + 1 for transparency)

It's official! I'm porting my arcade game Murtop to the NES! 🎉👾🕹️

Check out this little sneak preview of what I have so far.

Just found some old sketches of early #Murtop prototypes, with some mechanics that never made it into the game! 🐰⛏️💣

Working on the Title screen.

I had to make a lot of changes to the logo to fit the 4 colors (3+transparency) per sprite.
