Gameplay
NES version screenshot.

The player controls Felix the Cat as he sets out to defeat the evil mad Professor who has kidnapped Felix's lovely girlfriend, Kitty. The Game Boy version plays virtually the same as the NES version, but features fewer levels.

Felix the Cat has simple game mechanics. The A button is used to jump (press repeatedly to fly or swim), and the B button is used to attack. The type of attack varies depending on the magic level. When Felix falls into the bottomless pit (past the bottom of the level), runs out of time, or loses all his health, he loses a life. Scattered items replenish health and magic. Enemies include moles, tree trunks, cannons, birds, fish, and eight boss monsters. Enemies generally follow a regular pace back and forth, and Felix can shoot them. If Felix takes a hit, his magic power goes down one level. If Felix is at the lowest magic power and gets hit, he loses a life. There are nine worlds.

gollark: `threads.h` will be removed since I read somewhere that you should just be using multiple processes anyway.
gollark: `signal.h` is unnecessary, the program will just ignore all signals and make it the OS's problem.
gollark: * number types
gollark: All ints will be replaced with bigints, so we don't need fixed-width char types.
gollark: Math(s) is for NERDS, so we can just drop all the mathy/floaty stuff.
