+batari Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 There are quite a few more. I'd say there are around 20 that came out of LCC2700 (it's the college course where students used bB for one of their programming projects.) The programs are available at the following links (scroll down to Atari 2600.) It will take a little effort to track them all down (I haven't got them all yet... too busy to browse through all those pages ) http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~bogost/courses/...700/project.php http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~bogost/courses/...700/project.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 There were a lot less than 20. In fact, there were 11 that had names and I put them all on the list. I need to add Superbug (Batari's) and ToneToy and a few more, but only if I get some more replies saying this is a good list to have.

SeaGtGruff Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 There were a lot less than 20. In fact, there were 11 that had names and I put them all on the list. Is that from just the latest class of students, or did it include the students in the previous class, too? I need to add Superbug (Batari's) and ToneToy and a few more, but only if I get some more replies saying this is a good list to have. I think it's a great idea, especially if the source code is available so people can see how the game programmer(s) did something.

+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Just added the class of Spring 2006 also, so yes, there were around 20 in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You are forgetting Jumpman, Roadblaster, and F-4, some of the best bB games yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 s0c7, and he also made Panther, another commercial quality bB game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm still working on my game using basic (it currently on hiatus until the next full vesrion Batari basic comes out, the playfield is up as well as players still need work on missiles though and other things) (if you don't the game I'm talking about it's my laserman game I'm converting from the game Idid on the TI,minus the speech) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 I take it you REALLY didn't like Deimos Lander? I liked it, I just forgot it is all, I mean there's so many here I think I'm way in over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Check out the change I made to the list. I'm a little too lazy for actual links right now, but maybe sometime later, as it's really hot where I live right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atarius Maximus Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You are forgetting Jumpman, Roadblaster, and F-4, some of the best bB games yet. Thanks for the compliment. The jumpman game is complete, I just need to rewrite the title song. I've been working on it off and on for a few weeks, hopefully I'll get it done soon.

Any chance for links? Instead of links, I'd be in favor of a single archive. Each game could have its own directory that contains source, .bin and other relevant files (e.g. includes files, docs, alternate versions.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot more work than just an index. Atari2600Land, you up for it? I've got webspace if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbanes Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sure, if I could do maintain it on a weekly or monthly basis-type thing. I don't see why not. We don't have one now, and no one is holding a gun to your head to make you do it. I've got my own website www.atari2600land.com can I use it for this? Looks like you've got plenty of webspace. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've been wanting to setup a bB site with code/game library since I found it, but I don't have the webspace and I can't stand freehosts. As OCD as I've become about the language, I think it's safe to say it'll be updated daily if I ever get the chance. Glad to see it's being done.

+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) http://www.atari2600land.com/basic/ | Atari 2600 BASIC Game Archive. Well, here's the first version. I'll be updating this daily until I found most if not all the games made with 2600 BASIC on-line.

MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 That's cool but it's batari BASIC, or bB for short, not Atari BASIC. Not sure why this forum has that name, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the name it'll be released under, and it's easier to use bB to keep it seperate from the craptastic cart released way back when. There actually are a few sites around with source for that abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaGtGruff Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 it's batari BASIC, or bB for short, not Atari BASIC. Not sure why this forum has that name When batari BASIC was first released, batari referred to it as the "Atari 2600 BASIC Compiler" (see the "README.txt" file for version 0.1, for example), which is why this forum has the name it does. As I recall, it wasn't until everyone in this forum told him that he should name it after himself (meaning his screen name) that it became known as "batari BASIC." But even so, the compiler executable is still named "2600basic.exe"! Michael Rideout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 The list has been updated. If anyone knows of any .bin or .bas files I might have missed, please reply with a link to where I can find them. I'll also be searching for some, too.
