Finally! We both agree on something.

Now it displays the current tile index.

Added a bottom UI to the level editor, even though it currently displays nothing.

Added scrolling to the level editor.

The ability to change tiles and delete tiles has been implemented.

How it started vs how it's going:

Why do these exist? The only play emulated re-releases of old games that you can literally play anywhere else, and I'm not just talking about piracy. These games have been officially re-released on other platforms.

I mean if these consoles had original games in addition to retro re-releases, then maybe I would have more respect for it, but I don't get why you wouldn't just go with any of the emulation handhelds that are out on the market.

Currently working on the level editor. Right now it can only place edge tiles on a blank canvas.

Added a second boss. This boss is supposed to shoot after a certain number of jumps, but I haven't implemented it yet.

So, I just watched the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and I was disappointed that despite taking place in space, they didn't include Tatanga in the movie.

If you were going to skip a Super Mario Land movie, you could have at least included him instead of fucking Fox McCloud.

I managed to get myself a NeoGeo Pocket Color. As much as I generally lack enthusiasm for video game collecting these days, I make a small exception for handhelds as they take up less space and this system in particular is one that I have always been curious about ever since I skimmed through my older brother's video game magazines.

I know this thing has like less than 50 games released for it, but does anyone have any game recommendations? I have zero experience with SNK outside of Metal Slug, but I'm willing to try anything.

Experimenting with vertically scrolling levels.

Added a boss health bar.

Added an explosion animation for the boss when killed.

It turns out that the localization of Ys Book I & II is probably the first example of Japanese game developers taking direct feedback from westerners as Falcom actually had access to CompuServe and listened to the opinions and tastes of western gamers.

And this was all back in the late 80s, no less.
