Great game. A very good method to avoid the sprite overflow problem

But the physics behind jumping (slow increase in jumping speed) is really annoying. Why not doing it like in SMB?

What method are you referring to?

Also, what is a corshoneta?

The coins are not permanently in one position in OAM, they are constantly changing. Thanks to this they all flicker when there are a lot of them, but they do not disappear completely from the screen.

Probably it has been used many times before, but I did not notice it before.

Besides, I do not know many interesting things about NES programming yet.

That's... well, the standard way to do it. Hardcoding objects to OAM is a very bad thing to do, and only absolute beginners will do it.

Surely you meant smb3? I don't like smb physics. Who cares what I like? My point is, it's personal, and the physics in this game didn't bother me at all, every game has its own.

I agree, but I'd still note that for instance when I reverse engineered Rad Racer I was surprised to see that some of the sprites for e.g. the status bar and the main car (the one you drive) are actually hard-coded in OAM.

[nesrocks]

In my prototype nes game I hardcoded the main characters sprites into OAM so it wouldn't flicker, only other objects would. I think it's ok to choose what to flicker and what not to.

[FrankenGraphics]

Yeah, often it's perfectly sound to hard-prioritize what you think is the most important to view at all times.
