+Gemintronic Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Have you read up on the 2600 limitations? I'd suggest "Racing the Beam" if you can get a copy. Also, consider programming in batari BASIC to get yourself familiar with things http://bataribasic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Remember that sprites are usually single color. You can have sprites that use different colors per row but some tradeoffs are needed. Sprites can be as tall as you want but it becomes a matter of storage space. Most games I make that require opening music and a title screen are 8k: one 4k bank for the title screen + music and one for the actual game. Note also that batari BASIC makes you choose a specific set of tradeoffs. If you use assembly then YOU choose how to drag the pixels across the screen so you can make different sacrifices.

Schtoffer Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I made a Bomber Man clone in GM a while back, complete with 2600 stylings. You're more than welcome to use sprites or whatnot from the game. http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/212899-bomb-hero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS_Dracon Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Be banned without a reason is a serious thing, you should contact one of the moderators and explain the situation. If it's a forum bug, this is something that must to be fixed.

+Gemintronic Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Some mods will refuse to discuss a ban. At least you can confirm it wasn't a glitch. If it was it'll help Albert and keep the same happening to other members. On other boards I've seen entire IP ranges blocked due to some smeghead sucking down all the available downloads at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Is this actually in a runnable state or are you showing us your game design? I usually put my completed games in the Homebrew section. When I want initial feedback and support I usually post a topic in the batari basic section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
