Killing monsters

[Kingofthepirates]

When I try to kill a monster in the beginning faces of my game the monster just has infinite life, in addition when I get hit by a monster I get knocked to the very side of my map and can't move for a little bit. Can anyone help?

You probably set the monster's health to 0. This causes an underflow when the monster is hit, effectively giving it 256HP.
Set it to 1 (or whatever amount the player's attack deals) and it should work properly.

How do you set their health? My best guess is monster graphics bank or screen info.

if you don't know how to set health may I recommend doing some tutorials for the whole NESmaker series?

It's good to learn from humble beginnings

The tutorial videos are esential! I'd strongly recommand to watch them ALL.
The 12 days of Xmas series
The module specific series ("intermediate" and 'expert" videos)
You can skip the "beginner" ones, you won't really learn anything from them.
