Spengo's Racing Game (Grand Theft Avocado)

So it begins...
The Dark Lord Spengo has begun his first mission into an unknown realm.
The realm of z80!

Actually, it isn't going to be much of a game. Just another one of those dumb scrolling racing games where you have to avoid the other cars, etc. >_> But the point is, I finally understand enough of this crazy stuff to make something run on a TI 83+! :D

Edit KV83: Changed the subject :?

May the people of MaxCoderz bring unto you books of wise knowledge and power to aide you in your travels of the z80 abyss! Good luck to you, and try not to let the realm take your sanity!

Hokay, I got an idea of how it will go now. You are a speeder on a freeway and you have to avoid the traffic, but there are also police cars that will come after you and you have to make them crash. Maybe when I get better at it I will add fuel also so you have to keep picking up gasoline powerups to stay alive.

Progress! It be happening. Now there is a title screen and an icon for mirage os! There is also part of the game done! Right now, enemy cars come from the top of the screen(using a rather modified random appearence routine from Asteroid Belt :D) and your little car has to avoid them(now can move in 8 directions instead of four). There is a high score saver thingy now too.
Things to add:
-scrolling background(instead of just empty space)
-police cars that chase you
-figure out how to fix that annoying jump to higher speed for 1/10th of a second)
-add a fuel meter and powerups
-oh yeah, and more than just 3 different types of enemy cars

Police cars sounds really cool, that would make the game really interesting

The whole POINT of it is the police. They will start at the bottom and chase your car and the only way to escape them is to make them smash into the other cars.

Oh no! Not competition!

Maybe we should have a contest for the "Most insane game" ?

That would have to be InsaneGame.

Oh the insanity! *runs around in circles screaming for caffeine*
