Thank you! The number at the top is your score (next to BOREcode) – it’s how many laser falls you’ve survived this run. Could’ve maybe put the score in the text box too, but I liked having the character say “oh no!” instead, lol.
Also yeah, all those big numbers have to be exact. I tried for a while to consolidate them and it wasn’t working, they’re all related to each other so they can’t be the same. The N variable at the top was the best I could do, and I even had to make an if(y<128) into a y<=n to keep the game working. Unfortunate consequence of all the action being at the bottom of the screen… If I could redo this I’d probably make the lasers fall up, so all the number constants would be small.
