Hmm, I managed to shave 3 chars off my #TweetTweetJam game. 3 more and I can add something I had to cut...

While writing a commented version of my code, I managed to shave a bunch more characters off my #TweetTweetJam entry allowing me to fix exploits that so far nobody found: you could run off the right side of the screen and safely get infinite points! You also would not die out of bounds if you held jump

Now both sides of the screen kill you.

Updated source in reply.

I'll try to get some commented code up tonight or tomorrow

Heavily commented source code for my #TweetTweetJam game Tastebud Tap Dancer is finished!

The whole game is slammed into a very compact 500 chars so the commented code goes through line by line and explains exactly what each command does. It's half way to a blog post.

None of the actual code is changed beyond adding white space.
