Ok here I am again! I have just started a Ed, Edd n Eddy game based on the cartoon from Cartoon Network! Why? Because it is a freaking awesome cartoon. STORY: The Ed(d)s are at it again... Looking for money to buy jawbreakers. They must search around town for quarters. When they find one, they must go to the candy store to buy jawbreakers before it closes! The problem is the Kanker sisters are out to get them and take them away from their duties! HOW TO PLAY: You start the game at Eds house which is the respawn point if you get caught by a Kanker sister. You have 3 lives (or Eds) to use before you lose the game. You must find a quarter and go to the pink candy store to buy a jawbreaker. Once you get the quarter you must get to the candy store before the timer on the left runs out or its game over... SCORING SYSTEM: A quarter is +25 points A jawbreaker is +100 points Every 3 jawbreakers you get is +1000 points I plan to add other features to the game but this is just a demo to see if you like the idea. I will also try to add the theme song from the cartoon to this, but I dont know how to and will likely need help on that... Thats about it I think.... eee.bas eee.bas.bin

this page has a nice collection... batari basic program archive for some reason a few of the download links dont work.

well i didnt do much with this for a few dayz, but i made the walls to where they dont kill you..... here is the bin. skai.bas.bin

ok now THAT WAS HARD! I just added a calculator program to the OS. it mostly works, but the div and mul operations are sometimes giving answers that are slightly off (or way off) either that or i need to go back to 1st grade and re-learn math! to use the calculator: run it. its called 'CALC' select a number with the joystick and press fire select an operator with the joystick and press fire select another number and press fire view the resulting answer and press reset to return to 1337 OS can sum1 pL33ZZ [email protected]|p me with the mul and div thing!!!! i included the divmul 8 bit asm file already..... also please feel free to make a minigame or utility (like a stopwatch or interpreter or shooter game or music maker program or sumtin) so i can put it in the OS it also looks like i will have to raise it over 4k cart with anymore programs lol. multi.bas.bin multi.bas

ok lol thats only a gui and like he said its not origional, but not really been done either! i guess i could just give up and go to bed =( also, i had a cool idea! would it be possible to make a battery backed cart??? like on a gameboy! so you can save highscores or other things... like the Basic Programming cart. make a similar programming language but u can save your work! WHY HASNT THI BEEN DONE?! (or has it?)

Well.... here is another program I made! Its an OS for the Atari 2600! (more of a menu ) It allows you to select a program (game) and run it! Then returns to the OS when the program is done. Its called 1337 OS... When you run it, you will see the title screen. Just press reset to continue. Then use the arrow keys to choose a game and fire to select it. Thats it! I have made 3 mini games to go along with this (i spent about 10 mins on the 1st 2 and an hour on the 3rd) 1 - Handball (pongalike game) 2 - Alien! (dodge the Alien) 3 - Run Down (my own 'Miss It!' clone. you are a gangster, you run from cops. 9 total cops!) I would love to see people use my OS for their own mini games or programs! Maby sum1 can add a calculator or a mini simple tiny interpreter like the Basic Programming cart (but simpler lol no graphics just text and no menus) or a version on BrainFuck. (BrainFuck is a mini programming language with 8 commands and no parameters VERY TINY) There are a few things I plan to add, but I just want to know your opinion. Also remember that these games are not meant to be AMAZING, just good enuf........ multi.bas.bin multi.bas

wow..... this was done in bB! lol sweet.

most of this is explained in the 1st post. the 'balloons' are potions. red=health blue=mana. you can see your health by the dot at the top left. you have not died because you still have health you dont HAVE to get more wizzards (purple), but when you have more mana (the blue potions) they help because you get more shote. they also give you more health. this is more of an rpg game not a shooter. you will likely get like 200-300-500 points before you die... just look at the origional post

thank you for all the comments. it looks like i am going to have to take out the killer walls and find another way to make it harder. my plan for the 'killer walls' was that if you run in to them you would be knocked out and the dragon will come and kill you. lol i just did not do the animation for it. I am thinking that i can make it harder my making more dragons appear up to a max of 3 in the last part. I can also make the dragon move faster. I do not want to make it so you can kill the dragons because the idea is that you are fending them off while the castle is being built. oh and you CAN fire up and down like the dragon. to fire down the dragon has to be below you and to fire up he has to be above.

i just made some updates: the player is white when he has the ball and grey when he does not. the game now has progression: STORY -- a castle is being built, but a dragon is trying to stop it. you, the wizzard must hold off the dragon while the castle is being built! as you progress through the game by attacking the dragon, the castle will be built up and you will have less space to move. I also fixed some bugs/problems. thanx! i wanted it to be hard lol

Hello everybody! I just stayed up through the night (AGAIN!!!) making this new gams lol the game is simple, but fun........ it is kinda based on the DragonLance books. lol You play as a wizzard in an epic battle with Skai the dragon (from DragonLance). The game takes place in a castle. there is a magic ball that roams around the castle as the dragon circles around the castle. you must get the magic ball and use (shoot it) it on the dragon. every time you shoot it a new one will come and you will have to get it. you must also avoid running into the walls of the castle or you will lose. The dragon will also fight back by shooting fire at you. if you touch the dragon or its fire then you will lose. I would love to know know what you think about the game. Enjoy! skai.bas skai.bas.bin

any ideas on what i can add to the game?

i got a 43 XD

Nice game! maby you could move the snake randomly on the x coordinate? WOW you are 13 and already programming! Programming the Atari 2600!!! Your parents should be proud. XD but i am 15 lol

all this planning but no game???

I have made some updates... see the main post.

How is ths going? If you want, you can use my 4k game i am making 'Magic Run'. Its a shooter with RPG elements. You can see the post for it at: Magic Run I am still working on it, but I am about to update it.

omg thanx youz sooooo much!!!!!!!!! my hero! lol it works now

I have just bought two cassette tapes off of ebay: - Strange Odyssey - Aztec Challenge The sellers claimed that they work, but I cant load the damn things onto my 400! I am new to using cassette tapes, but I am not having any trouble with loading and saving the tapes that I made. i am trying different parts of the tape like 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35....100 and I just get errors like 138 140 19 21 142 etc... could there be a problem with the tape (from a magnetic field when they were mailed maby???) the sellers on ebay said they are tested/cleaned/work. i would be VERY greatful if someone could help me with my problem.

ahhhh cool thank you very much!!! here is the new label!

I just made a simple cart label using ms paint, but I would like to have a more professional one done... here it is...

i would like to use the status bar for the health, but i cant figure out how to use it! lol I have a question...... HOW DO YOU CREATE ART FOR THE CART/BOX??? is there some website or program? 1 more thing, i got the idea for this game from 'crypts of chaos' by fox.. i just got it and its not very good, but it has a nice 'feel' to it

Hey all, I just stayed up through the night and morning making this game lol. What i made is a shooter with several rpg elements including: health, experience, mana, health potions,mana potions,goblins, demons... magic... you get the picture! =) it takes place in a 3d looking (the walls) tunnel. to play, press fire at the main screen then in the game: you are a wizzard running down a tunnel your 'health-bar' is represented by the ball at the top left of the screen your experience is the score you should shoot the goblins(green) and the demons(red) with magic as you pass by them if you have no mana then you cant use magic health potions (red) heal you a little mana potions (blue) give you some mana there are holes in the ground (black) that you should avoid NEW: you can gain a new wizzard (purple) by 'running into them'. NEW: as you gain more wizzards you gain more health but they will die as you lose health UPDATE: ---------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted this game to be more like an rpg so i made it to where you can control up to 3 wizzards in the tunnel. You can 'collect' them as you run down the tunnel... if you lose health, they will be killed off. a good strategy would be to save up on mana before you get more than 1 wizzard. I also made the background look more like a tunnel. and i made the sound a little better... I would love to know what you think. This is my first REAL Atari 2600 game and I want to make it good. ***** There are still some bugs that need fixing. ***** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rpg.bas.binrpg.bas

thanks for the kind replies! i do plan to use bB to make more games. i also plan to work more on this game.

Hey all, I am here to show off my 1st ATARI 2600 game. I finally got bB to work thanks to Visual bB! =] Up until now all I have done with the 2600 is make simple programs with the Basic Programming cart lol. Let me just say that this game S U C K S, but I just thought that I should share it with yall. It is a simple space shooter that looks 3Dish. Its called: UFO BLAST 3D. The 'story': You (the hero) are flying your ship over some road defending your planet from ufos coming from space! How do I make a screenshot? Here is the rom and source... (please go easy on it im only 15 and am new to programming the ATARI 2600!) ROM ufoblast3d.bin SOURCE CODE code.bas
