Pop Quiz!


When making this game, there are things I have to cut. One idea for this game was to use trivia questions so obtuse, you’d need the internet or a wide knowledge of things that existed in the ’90s and before to solve them. I’ve decided against this for the final game.
These ones involve some copyrighted works for references.

So, let’s test your knowledge with deleted questions. Okay?

Sometimes, inspiration is as simple as thinking of an old game you played once.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

When you don't know about copyright laws when it comes to fonts, you either take a chance, or make your own.

Of course, in the world of sprite art, that doesn't leave many options.

I know. It looks pretty much the same as before. I just needed the motivation to do more with it.

...and an excuse for all sorts of robots at a convention to be attacking Pinafore, specifically.

Two screenshots.

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.

Due to top-down levels working a little differently, it took me a bit to get motivated to program and animate Pinafore in five directions. (Three of these directions are mirrored for a total of eight.)

Unfortunately, that's the easy part.

...let me be honest, the convention level isn't working well as a platformer.

So, I think I should add top-down sections. The combat would work about the same. I think you shouldn't jump in top-down mode, so sliding will take its place there.
