2025-11-02 (Su) BonfireLaserTag Go Nuts! game

I copied and tweaked the code components for the Go Nuts! Game and, surprisingly, it compiled on the first attempt. I chose green as the color theme because it can mean "go" in this region. The bugs were that I was missing a selection screen, any hit instantly killed me, and my text formatting was way off. I set the initial hitPoints to 1 and ensured that it did not decrement when I took a hit. I copied the selection screen from the Golden Gun Game and changed the text. I made a new variable called hitCounter that acted like hitPoints, but in reverse, since it counted how much damage the tagger took. I replaced the "HP:" counter with "Hits" and used the new variable. I tidied up the text, but it took an embarrassingly long time. One problem was that I had the gameplay functions scattered across three switch() statements, which were getting jumbled. The Go Nuts! Game works by letting players shoot as much as they want and get hit an infinite number of times without dying. The purpose is to let people play for as long as they wish, then compare the number of shots they took and the damage they received.
