kisrael Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So, a decade ago I made JoustPong... it took like a year and a half! A few weeks ago I wrote up the story here: http://kirkdev.blogspot.com/2015/01/programming-atari-2600-part-i-joustpong.html Then for Global Game Jam I used batari BASIC and got a game done in a weekend! http://kirkdev.blogspot.com/2015/02/programming-atari-2600-part-ii.html The games of some similarity - both are pretty decent little head to head games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I won your JoustPong contest at PC - 2002? I wore that white shirt all the time until it disintegrated! It's a cool game, I read your Blog article too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauauu Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for posting this. I haven't yet gotten to those specific 2600 articles, but I'm enjoying your blog so far. (It's hard to find good programming blogs!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's hard to find good programming blogs! Have you run across my blog? I mostly blog about the development of my games, you can use the links in the Categories groupbox in the right side of the screen to easily read specific blog entries such as the series on Medieval Mayhem. I also did Collect, a series on developing a 2K Atari game, and recently started up a new series on DPC+ ARM Development (used for Space Rocks and Stay Frosty 2).

Yeah, I discovered that not long after showing up here and getting interested in 2600 development. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I suppose most of us programmers are better with bytes than words. Lucky for me I'm not a very good progra-- No wait, I shouldn't admit that But yeah Thomas, ever since "Thrust" I was pretty convinced your games speak for themselves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atarius Maximus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I still have my T-shirt! I bought the game when it was first released, love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
