dig dug 1k

Dig Doug game made in ~1000 compressed bytes for Pico-1k-JAM

This is based on my TweetTweetJam9 entry (a 500 character tilemap drawing demo).  That entry only drew the tilemap, and sprite locations (no game logic back then).

Features:

• Enemy chase logic similar to original dig-dug game (bounce back and forth, but will follow character if a path is open)
• "Pump" attack to inflate and destroy monsters
• Respawn on player death
• Destroying all monsters increments level, which respawns more monsters per level.
• GameOver logic to reset game
• Uses P8SCII for image drawing
• Using map to track "dug" portions of the screen to control paths that monsters can move through.

Uses ~1000 compressed bytes in pico-8 to implement a basic arcade-like game (no external images or sound files allowed, everything is part of the code).
