Dabooda, what is wrong with bright colors? They were probably made for games (since they weren't made for painting your house). :D



I rest my case.  ;D  (image st.. er... borrowed... from one of na_th_an's posts.)
...He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD.  Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Never mess with the lord, or he'll maul you with bears. :)

I didn't purposely increase the contrast. :P
IE. the bricks are the real QB SCREEN 12 colors, the fire background is a picture that I didn't adjust, and the paddle is just solid white. ;)

I didn't get any programming done the last few days due to computer trouble, but I enhanced the graphics:



Did I mention there were cheat codes?



And with the new custom screen size setting, you can now set the screen size as low as 240 * 180:



This isn't an actual screenshot, but these graphics will be in the game:



:D

In case you were wondering: I haven't got to the extremes yet. ;D ;D 8) 8)





Actually things won't be this crazy in the real game; I am just testing some things. ;)

I like the things that look like circles of fire in the top screenshot.

The cat...



...approves of my game...



:D

BTW, while I was daydreaming, I thought about making a real arcade game for Ultrabreaker.
Dave & Buster's needs me. ;)

Too many enemies in my tests. :P

20" - I'm thinking of getting a 24" unless I need the money for a new computer on Black Friday. :P

Ah.  I myself have a 22" monitor.  I'd have gotten a 24", but I didn't really wanna pay an extra $200 for 2 extra inches.  Tempting as it may be... :P

I actually could have got a 22" for the same price, but it had the same resolution.
The 24" has the next step up in resolution (1900 * 1200) - and I might get a 25.5" instead, while I'm at it. :P

Will you drop this subject, shees?

You are worst than Manhattan yuppie chicks talking about shoes.

Needless to say, the game appears to be more confusing here.  :o :o
I couldn't resist. :P
These screenshots were downsized from 1024 * 768. :)
