Code (Text):

1. ;======================================================
2. ;Day Twenty-Four (For Day 25's build).
3. ;======================================================
4. ;- Decided to have a much needed day off.
5.  
6. ;======================================================
7. ;Day Twenty-Five (For Day 26's build).
8. ;======================================================
9. ;- Massive code optimisations.
10. ;- Reorganised SRAM. Previous SRAM will no longer work.
11. ;- Fixed some collision bugs in GHZ1.
12. ;- Ported the Options Screen from Sonic 2
13. ;- Edited the code to make the character select work
14. ;- Edited the character select mappings.
15. ;- Replaced the VS MODE ITEM select with "New Game" and "Continue".
16. ;- Hard coded the sound test to prevent certain values being selected, to prevent crashes.
17. ;- Selecting Continue now takes you to the Character/Level select screen, with SRAM loading.
18. ;- The Sonic 1 level select cheat now works, and takes you to a complete level select, skipping SRAM loading.
19. ;- If the level select cheat is active, then SRAM will not be saved.
20. ;- Level select cheat will be cleared if you select continue.
21. ;- Options screen no longer shows a buggy BG for the first split-second of being on screen.

It seems having a day off from time to time does my brain good. =P

That's because SBZ and FZ aren't in yet. =P

 

It's Day 30.
I've already got my beer on to celebrate.

The past 30 days has been none stop programming, and none stop learning.

If you want to learn some ASM, try setting yourself a project similar, see what you can come up with over the 30 days.

This ended up way different to how I expected it to on Day 1.


Interesting facts:

The original Sonic 1 is built from 40735 lines of code (Not including external mappings, dynamic PLCs, and animations etc)
The 30 Day Challenge is built from 48799 lines of code (Not including external mappings, dynamic PLCs, and animations etc)

The original Sonic 1 is ~512KB in size.
The 30 Day Challenge is ~1370KB in size.

The original Sonic 1 contains 8 screen modes.
The 30 Day Challenge contains 13 screen modes, with only 5 closely matching (with differences!), and 2 loosely based from Sonic 1.

The original Sonic 1 contains no method of saving your game.
The 30 Day Challenge contains ~800 lines of code, to make sure you get to save exactly as you should.

The original Sonic 1 is built from 801 files, in 24 folders.
The 30 Day Challenge is built from 1187 files, in 42 folders.

Lastly, The 30 Day Challenge has had a massive grand total of 352 changes! I am very pleased with that result. =P

Because today is a good day. =3

 

I skipped no days, just didn't release on a few. =3

 

I have no intentions of just throwing any of this away. =P
The 30 day project is over, and has served it's purpose, but now I can start something of a longer term, without worrying about a set release date, or programming constantly without a break.
