Very newb @ Jaguar programming. Help with Hello World

I can't get the button press to work. I tried another game that uses B to start the game and it works, but on mine it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

 

 

How about changing your xpos init

 

from

 

dim ant_xpos% : ant_xpos=160

 

 

to

 

dim ant_xpos% : ant_xpos=160<<16

That didn't help any.

That didn't help any.

Something else to check;

 

Open the rapapp.s file and look for this line (about line 11)

 

player equ 1 ;0=Zerosquare's player, 1=U-235 player

 

Make sure it is set to 1 (like above).

[+atari2600land]

I set it to one and it still didn't help.

Also,

 

You will need to add

 

ant_xpos = RGETOBJ(itsanant,R_sprite_x)

 

This is because you aren't updating your ant_xpos variable with the updated position.

You could add this before the "if ant_xpos>(350<<16) then call start_over_again" line.

 

If you don't do this then ant_xpos will always equal 160. Therefore it will always be 160+2.

OK, adding that line did the trick. Thank you, Sporadic.

You're welcome. Keep hacking away!

 

Also, I recommend looking at the xadd and yadd sprite properties. They will automatically move your object for you

ant_xpos = rlist [isanant].x

 

is much more user friendly, use this method, it runs faster apparently.

 

also get my object list editor, it will ease your issues with regard to the object list creation process
