Game 1 Unit 14 of 64 1 hr learning time
Game Over Screen
Handle failure. Show game over. Distinct from successful completion.
22% of SID Symphony
Failure needs its own moment. This unit gives the game over state proper treatment.
Previously, running out of health showed “GAME OVER” overlaid on the gameplay screen. Now the game clears to a dedicated display: “GAME OVER” in red, “HEALTH DEPLETED” explaining why, the score you achieved, and how many notes you hit before failing. The red border reinforces failure, distinct from the green border of success.
Run It
Assemble and run:
acme -f cbm -o symphony.prg symphony.asm
Press fire to start, then deliberately miss notes until your health depletes. You’ll see the new game over screen.
Success vs Failure
The game now has two distinct endings:
| Aspect | Results (Success) | Game Over (Failure) |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Song completes | Health reaches 0 |
| Title | ”SONG COMPLETE!" | "GAME OVER” |
| Colour | Green border | Red border |
| Stats | Full breakdown | Score + notes hit |
| Feeling | Achievement | Try again |
Players immediately know whether they succeeded or failed from the visual language.
The Game Over Display
The game over screen provides closure on failure:

Three key elements:
- “GAME OVER” in red - immediately communicates failure
- “HEALTH DEPLETED” - explains why the game ended
- Score and notes hit - shows progress before failure
Colour Communicates State
The red colour scheme signals failure:
lda #2 ; Red for failure
sta COLRAM + (6 * 40) + 15,x ; Title colour
; ...later...
lda #2 ; Red border
sta BORDERCompare to the results screen’s green border:
lda #5 ; Green border for success
sta BORDERPlayers don’t need to read text to understand the outcome.
Showing Partial Progress
Unlike the success screen, the game over shows simplified stats:
; Show score achieved
jsr display_gameover_score
; Show notes hit (perfects + goods)
lda perfect_count
clc
adc good_count
jsr display_go_statWe don’t show accuracy or max combo - that level of detail is for success. For failure, we show what was achieved before the end.

What You’ve Learnt
- Failure presentation - Dedicated screen for game over
- Colour communication - Red for failure, green for success
- Partial progress - Showing achievement before failure
- State distinction - Visual language separating outcomes
- Emotional design - Failure should feel different from success
What’s Next
In Unit 15, we’ll polish all the sound effects. Perfect hits will sound brighter than good hits, miss sounds will be harsh, and menu sounds will click satisfyingly.
