Right now im trying to figure out why my scrolling field doesnt include the entire playfield? I have the pixles at 88 high, but when I use scrolling. Only the first screen scrolls over and over? not the entire playfield? 2, without a multikernel sprite option. How can i make my playfield a little more detailed? I tried using pfcolors, but it still isnt what I want? Thanks for any help.

Where can i learn to use multisprite kernals?

pfcolors: $f5 $f6 $f5 $43 $f5 $f5 $f5 $f5 $f5 $f5 $f5 $f5 end 　 　 playfield: ................................ .......................XXXXX.... ................................ ..................X............. ..XXXXXXX.X.XX.XX.X..XXXXX...... ................................ ..................X............. ..................X............. ..................X............. ..XX.....XX.......X............. ................................ end I used the color selection in the editor to add color to playfield, but it doesnt do anything? Is there somewhere special i need to move the code? or a variable that needs to be set?

OK I fixed the looping problem I had. thats why I couldnt change playfields.

ignore the score help i figured that out in my head as I was writing the topic sry. I still need field help though.

rem variables used up so far rem a,b,c,g,h,p opening playfield: XXXX.XXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXX.XX..XX.. X..X.X..X...XX.....XX...XX..XX.. XXXX.X..X...XX.....XX.....XX.... X....X..X...XX.....XX.....XX....

I can get it to change from the title, but I want it to change when a certain score is reached. I was hoping to have atleast 10 seperate levels. I have code under the main2 that handle collision detection point sound, boundries ect. But I cant seem to get the level to change after the intro screen? thanks for any help you can give

Now that Im up and running. Im doing what I can to try to make a little game. Nothing special, but there are things I cant figure out myself, and the guides Ive looked up have been very lacking. I dont want to post every little question I have so Im hoping to learn myself and not bother people unless really needed. Things like changing playfield. stopping score from rolling backwards below 0. why are there player2 and up if I cant use them? I didnt grow up with coding. Ive only recently gotten back into it. And I want to learn, But whenI start to read about scanlines electron beams ect. i feel im not getting the info i need. thanks for you time.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, and oh yeah THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you didnt take the time to help me I would never had gotten this to work. Thank you again. Now I can begin making the worst game for atari ever lol, butit will be my bad game.

wont let me post screen shot. I did move all files to a shorter, no spaced address in my com. Now i still get deleted bins, and now I get a 16 bit incompatability error? I know i have the right stella? And I assumed i had the right files in place? moved my sed. visual sound dll in same folder as visual.

Ok I found out that when I try to compile. the .bin gets deleted. i cant find it even with the search function anywhere on my com. I have NO idea why, but I think this is the main problem ive been having?

I hate to ask, but I tried what has been posted here. read the thread from first post, and downloaded files, replaced batch ect..... I dont get it? F it. please walk me through step by step(if you can) to the correct downloads of the most likely to function programs... I never had this problem in the past? I dont understand? Am i putting the wrong paths/ variable locations??? Have I somehow not put the right files together? This is getting REALLLLLLLLLY old fast!!

HELP. Im sure there are a hundred threads on this, but everthing I hve tried doesnt work. I have batari, visuallbb, visual sound library, stella... I get visual up and running, and If I only hit run.. it will play, but the problems start when I tried to compile. It says it compiles, and then cant locate the bas.bin and could not recompile???????????? or this time it says system path does not include??????. I had this program on an old computer over a year ago wihout problems. But even now I cant use it on my old com, because I even tried loading it on there I have tried the vb fix and put it into the regedit. Im at a loss. I have tried every fix I could find online.

Er... You didn't attach the file to your posts in this thread as far as I can see. I SWEAR I attached the file? That does make a little more sense with the comments if thats the case, but you have to understand I did attach it? So Sorry to you if it isnt showing? And sorry for getting upset. Not what I want to see when I think im going to get helpful advice when I check my email.

I knew it, he re-invented the wheel nice guys way to welcome someone new? i attached the file the .bas just like he said to? so why the ball busting? I never said i made something great or new? i just asked for help? Dont worry last time i make that mistake here.....
