It works! And it makes it nearly impossible to pass, since the Bounders are also patched to be invincible.

Now I have a handle on sprite deaths, it's a lot easier to make things kill or not kill Keen now. There is a lot of potential here.

Awesome. :)

I've completely forgotten anything I managed to half-way imagine I learned during the time I did this stuff. Can you write out a bunch of information, before you forget, too?

I have, patch index -> Keen 4 -> Sprite patches -> 14.) Sprite collision


In it I lay out some basic instructions for changing what sprites respond to and what they do (Most respond to Keen's shots and Keen) and the next section controls what collision a given sprite uses. With (I hope) a basic understanding you can patch most sprites, and if anyone wants an example I'll be glad to help out.

Of course more complex patches require longer explanations, but the existing stuff should be sufficient for most.
