Fire Bug

[HarshNarayanJha]

There is an graphical issue in bullet firing, where if you keep the space button held for more than two consecutive frames, then a long continuous row of bullets will appear onscreen, which doesn't causes any damage to enemies...

To fix this, I will soon open a PR

Fixed, here's the PR: #19

Hmm... I'm wondering if this should be a bug, or just a "hard-to-find trick".

[DiddiLeija]

Well... I never tried to keep the space key pressed. Let's consider this a glitch, and fix it. Thanks for reporting @HarshNarayanJha!

But those continuous bullets don't hit.

[DiddiLeija]

They hit on my case 🤷‍♂️.

[DiddiLeija]

Hmm... maybe it works in the new Pyxel (1.6.1). If you ran using 1.5.8 (like in #20), the restart logics are broken and the fire bug is now functional?

Can you run pip install -U pyxel and recreate the behavior?

[HarshNarayanJha]

Oh yes, updated to Pyxel(1.6.1). Two things happened:

1. The bug's gone! Those continuous bullets are now killing enemies!
2. Restart Bugs Issues with restarting the game #20 is confirmed.

So, disallowing is usage of continuous bullets (as I did before), is not a good idea. We should allow that "hard-to-find trick" (one easter egg done! congrats!). But I don't like the visual style of it....
Isn't this one nice?

(Already confirmed, they do hit!)

Yeah, it looks better. Thanks for the fix!
