Flappy Mcfur V1.0
Description
You may think that this is just another Flappy Bird clone, and well, you may be right. Regardless, the already well known format has been expanded by BitJag into four different play modes, offering players more replay ability. Also, a set of 15 awards are ready to be unlocked. With just a sprinkle of a story added, Flappy McFur is an addicting experience that you will can only find on the Atari Jaguar.

Flappy McFur V0.3
A very early version of the game. This was programmed at a time where the primary programmer had nearly no programming experience, and only a surface understanding of the Removers Library. This is nothing near what the final game turned out to be.

Most everything is implemented that we want. Added all background shifting, title menu, pause, and game over screens.

Re-coding from the ground up. We have decided to not implement multiplayer and additional levels at this point. We want to focus on the other projects a bit more.

Glitch with audio at 22050Hz sample rate with sprites in overscan areas. Resample everything down to 16000Hz.
4/5/14
Touched up on the code, and added the ability to go back to the title screen by hitting pound and start together. Also started on the box art for DVD case.
4/1/14
Rushed to get something out for April Fools, but no luck. Added randomness to the tubes placement to make it a bit more difficult, and added a pause option. Disabled the Removers collision routine, and wrote my own for increased collision accuracy. Need to start figuring out the sound stuff for wave samples.
3/28/14
Added collisions to the tube using the Removers built-in collision routine, not very accurate though. May have to code my own simple collisions for better accuracy. The game now has a title screen and a game over when Flappy McFur collides with the tube or ground. Technically a game now. YAY!
3/25/14
Got the level background sprites scrolling, also added the tubes. No randomness to their position yet, and no collision.
3/24/14
Added a really really really basic system to simulate gravity, and built sprites for first level.
3/15/14
Built 4 frames for Flappy McFur and added them to a new program. Let’s get started!
