Below is a (hopefully) complete list of tiles used in the C64 version of Bounder.
Both foreground & background (floor) tiles are included.
Default Tiles
Type: Standard Floor Tiles
Levels: All
Effect: Safe tile – player bounces off
Type: Standard Floor Tiles (Corners)
Levels: All
Effect: Safe tile – player bounces off
Effect Tiles
Type: Mystery
Levels: All
Effect: Mystery tiles are activated if the player bounces on them.They can provide either positive or negative effects.
However, the way mystery tiles are handled on the C64 version of Bounder adds a slight random/strategic element to the game…
Each mystery tile has a specific effect assigned to it – It will have the same effect every game.
When a mystery tile is created, its effect, rather than being attached to the tile, is instead added to a global list.
So – If the current game screen contains three active mystery tiles, the list will contain three effects.
No matter which tile the player bonuses on, the first effect in the list will be applied to the player.
Once the effect has been applied to the player, it is removed from the list – Otherwise, it is removed from the list once the mystery tile scrolls offscreen.
