Here is a small port of the Centipede arcade game developed in 1980 by Atari.
Although the game is as close as possible to the original arcade version, I took certain liberties, in order to make the game more user-friendly on the LowRes NX systems (at least from my point of view).
I also noticed some bugs (without bad pun), but as the game is enough playable this way, I didn't fixed them.
Hope you’ll have fun 🙂
NOTE I based my work on this very interesting article:

.... buuuttt u know with my awful hand-eye coordination... i had to edit a version i can play...
I upped the laser speed and slowed the centipede waaayy down... ;)

@was8bit I may add your mode in the released version if you want, or would you prefer to release your own version as a remix?

My tweaks don't warrant a remix ... i only adjusted 2 values... if you like the tweaks, you can use them... :)
Laser speed tweak moves at -8 rather than -4, centipede set at 0.25
LASER(1) = CY - 8
VELOCITY=0.25
I was able to maneuver around the other bugs just fine :) but on your easy setting I was only able to get 2 shots on the centipede before it killed me ;) so i experimented with those 2 settings until was able to play it :)
.... also i want to compliment you on your code... it's as easy as reading a book, it's actually beautifully written :) it only took me a few seconds to pinpoint what I was looking for :):):)

@was8bit thank you for your feedback 🙂 I added a rookie mode based on your parameters, just press (b) to change the mode until it
