Thanks for the link. What a great looking game! Too bad the development was cancelled.

Well hello AtariAge Forums! For those who care: I used to be a regular visitor to this site about two years ago, and somewhere along the line I lost interest in homebrewing 2600 games, so I stopped coming here. I do still have my 2600, and I've gotten somewhat involved in GBA development. I'm a computer science minor in college, since programming is still a small passion of mine. Anyway, when I was here last, there was a game under development that seemed to have a lot of potential, and I can't find it now. The screen was red and black, and the gameplay seemed to be something like a 2-player shooting game. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd really like to see how it turned out. Thanks!

Yay! It's always good to have news for Macs. -J

Might want to get that typo fixed... -J

I still strongly believe this is fake. But I'll play along anyways. Can you post a screenshot of the gameplay? And no, I don't mean connecting your computer up to the TV and taking a picture. This is getting fun... -J

I'm still not convinced, sorry. -J

I've been doing this for a little over a month. Thanks for the help! -J

Awesome thankyou! It scrolls beautifully. Just so I know what is going on, can someone please explain what clc and adc do? -J

cough

I got frustrated and left Atari programming for a few weeks, but today I was bored so I re-coded my scrolling program. Unfortunately it still does not work. Here are the guts of my program: ;192 lines of picture ldx #0 stx Scanline inc Scroll sta WSYNC Pic inc Scanline ldx Scanline ldy Scroll,x lda PFData0,y sta PF0 lda PFData1,y sta PF1 lda PFData2,y sta PF2 ldx #0 stx Skip8 Block sta WSYNC inc Skip8 ldx Skip8 cpx #10 bne Block ldx Scanline cpx #19 bne Pic ;End lines of picture Or you can download the whole thing here. From what I can see it should work. Scroll and Scanline are both increasing the way they should be. Scroll increases once every frame, Scanline increases once every 10 scanlines. But for some reason when they are added together, you get 0. Can anyone pleeeeeease tell me why it doesn't work? -J

I think the net works well, looks more like tennis that way. Oh and I like the black and white version better. Sweet game! -J

Has anyone ever seen this controller before? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW -J

Yeah it's the 3.5mm. Just so everyone knows, I got my Atari up and running with the 300mA adapter. :D -J

The 300mA was a lot cheaper than the 500mA, so I'll just keep that since I won't be using a supercharger or anything like that. But you said I needed a 3.5 mm adapter, does that mean that my 2.5 mm won't work? -J

(continued from post above) Here's the link to the stuff I got: Power adapter Adaptaplug Will those work for my Atari 2600? -J
