[To-Do]

  • Tune the game to feel more like the original (jumping, meter speed, etc.)
  • Fix background scroll speed bug
  • Randomization
    • background elements (have to change most to sprites)
  • Pterodactyl sprites
  • Collisions
    • Collisions with Pterodactyl
  • Difficulty increase
    • Night shift after certain score
    • Scroll speed increases as the score gets higher
  • Extras
    • Battery Saving
      • Toggle sounds (write 0x00 to NR52_REG for sound OFF, 0x80 for sound ON)
      • Perform HALT when screen is paused (interrupt to remove HALT)
    • Easter eggs
      • Dino blinks if you idle at the start

[0.5.0] - 2018-10-07

Added

  • rand.h header for using rand() (spawning hazards randomly).
  • Gravity, velocity, speed, timer, counters and clock related variables.
  • Explicit build step to the Makefile.
  • Preliminary hazard spawning randomly at different speeds.

Changed

  • Changed license from BSD to the Chromium license.
  • Removed delay() calls and started the transition towards physics based jumping using time().
  • Move game loop into update() and render() calls.
  • Now formatting code based on Artistic Style 3.1 with default braces.
  • Reordered some of the functions.
  • Fix some comment typos.
  • Dino state can now be right foot down, left foot down or jumping.
  • Change background scrolling to be on a timer based variable.
  • Change feet swapping animation to be on the timer as well.

[0.2.1] - 2018-07-22

Added

  • Added trailing U to designate most numeric constants as unsigned and therefore avoid compiler promotion.

Changed

  • Migrated the project over to GitHub from GitLab.
  • Renamed move_bkg() to move_background() to avoid shadowing GBDK's move_bkg().

Fixed

  • Now uses a 32 bit variable to keep track of the score. Function prototypes and return values adjusted accordingly. Previously, it would keep a score up to 255 (used an unsigned 8 bit variable).

[0.2.0] - 2018-07-15

Added

  • Rudimentary background scrolling.
  • Rudimentary Hi score tracking.
  • Added plenty of bugs related to clock speed...

Changed

  • Refactored in preparation for the upcoming removal of delay() calls.
  • Now running clang-format on main.c before commit.
  • Disabled flash_score() and such until delay() calls can be removed.

Removed

  • move_dino(), dino_duck and dino_jump() functions.

[0.1.1] - 2018-07-10

Added

  • Sound effect plays whenever the score arrives at a multiple of 100.
  • Score sprites flash whenever the score arrives at a multiple of 100.
  • Added Visual Studio Code folder with tasks to .gitignore
  • Build step to Makefile
  • Put comments in all the blank comment lines

Changed

  • CHANGELOG.md had the years set as 2017, should be 2018.
  • Changed the last part of the sound function names (from _noise to _sound).
  • Removed some unnecesary registers from the sound functions.
  • Extended README.md

[0.1.0] - 2018-06-01

Added

  • Game Over window after collision.
  • Game Over sound effect.
  • Restart after game over by hitting A on the joypad.

Changed

  • Moved the score sprites further up the screen.
  • Separated UI symbols into Digits and Letters.
  • Changed the load order of sprites into VRAM.
  • Changed hexadecimal macros due to changing the load order.

[0.0.4] - 2018-06-01

Added

  • Loading and scrolling Hazards (Cactus)
  • Basic rectangle collision checks

Changed

  • Changed int declarations to UBYTE declarations

[0.0.3] - 2018-05-28

Added

  • Basic score keeping by sprite swapping numbers.

Fixed

  • line() call before wait_vbl_done() was affecting VRAM. Deleted all line() calls.

[0.0.2] - 2018-05-13

Added

  • Rough Dino ducking animation while holding DOWN on the joypad.

Changed

  • Jumping height is affected by how long the A button is pressed.
  • Hexadecimal notation for VRAM macros instead of decimal notation.
