[Syntax Error]

 

That line is not indented

lines 24..26 are not indented either

 

everything (I think) except labels and "end" needs indenting.

Indenting means pressing the space bar once?

Hi all,

I'm currently learning BatariB and have been trying to do a very very simple game. I run into this error when putting player and enemy position: I managed to get the background correct and it runs.

I've attached the default.bas file if anyone wants to look at it.

 

Also would love to know how to do a title screen as I have not seen a youtube video on it yet.

 

Thanks,

Yan

Can someone explain this to me please,

[NES Homemade Cartridges.]

No source code necessary; just write the game files to chips... ta-da, cartridge.

and how do you write files to chips? Where do I get the chips? The guy I spoke to said he can put many 8bit games into cartridges.

[NES Homemade Cartridges.]

Hi all,

 

Now this has me interested; and can someone explain this to me how it's done please.

This guy on etsy makes custom cratridges that work on your NES, and some games include Mario Forever and Metroid Ultra.

Does anyone here know how the process is done and how hard it actually is? is there a tutorial somewhere?

[Atari Jaguar Capabilities]

If you notice, most systems hit their peak in terms of graphics years later. Look at the NES early games versus their last games years later. It takes a while for developers to truly grasp the power of a system.

Atari Jaguar had 2 years or so and it was shut down.

 

I'm not that knowledgeable on hardware, so can someone answer this:

If N64 was 64bits, the PS1 was 32bits, what was the Jaguar?

[Atari Jaguar Capabilities]

I think the Jaguar's most powerful feature is that it can create and fan flamewars FAR beyond what its meager 64-bits of power suggest!

Made my day!

It's difficult to see how you would find anything to support that idea from hobbyists 20 years after the console released.

 

If you want to see what the system could have done with masses of finances and good 3rd party support, an alternate universe might be your only hope.

 

There are dozens of threads discussing what the Jaguar could and couldn't do and how it compared to the playstation, a machine that released almost 2 years later in the USA (for reference, that's around 2 years later than the SNES in the USA... which is handy as it quite nicely illustrates not only where the Jaguar sits in the hardware timeline but also its capabilities relative to hardware before and afterwards... oddly though, not so many people post asking how the Jaguar compares to a SNES...).

 

ps Yes, Doom is excellent on the Jaguar.

Wow...

Okay...

I regularly discuss in history forums "what if's" and is a lot of fun to think out some stuff, even though it might be a 1000 years old.

So I thought it would interesting to discuss some what if's of video games, that's all.

[Atari Jaguar Capabilities]

[Atari Jaguar Capabilities]

No.

No.

What are some commercial games that show excellent qualities of the Jaguar?

Let me know, cheers!

Kevin

Doom for the Jaguar is excellent. I personally own it.

I just wondered what the system could have done it they were given some finaces and a good third party support.

[Atari Jaguar Capabilities]

Hi all,

 

Been playing my Jaguar again and ejoying Tempest 2000 and started to wonder.

 

If Atari had some money back then and a good game making team, could the Jaguar handle PS1 quality games?

Weren't the PS1 and Jaguar similar in hardware?

What are some homebrews that show excellent qualities of the Jaguar?

Let me know, cheers!

[Anyone on AA use RPG Maker?]

I own it; never finished a game.

If you put the effor to make a huge story the potential is great. I've seen some finished games using it.

It's very easy to start but you need to truly put in the effort to complete the game.

I usually quit after making a few dungeons and 1-2 towns.

[Do you own an arcade machine?]

Yes; I own Street Fighter II Champion Edition.

[What are you playing on your PlayStation 4?]

My PS4 has been gathering dust for the last month or so... I've been hoping GTA5 would come out for it... One can hope.

[What are you playing on your PlayStation 4?]

I was playing Fifa 14, pretty fun; the other game I own is BF4 that came with my pre-order back then.

[For anyone else who got a DOA PS4....]

Mine is arriving in a few hours today. Now I'm scared

[Did anybody else preorder one of the new consoles coming next month?]

I pre-ordered the PS4; I'm 27 and it's the 1st time I have ever pre-ordered a console.

[Our new arcade machine!]

Do so with caution if you don't have a button wrench, pliers can tear those up if you're not careful.

Oh yeah a wrench would be safer.

[Our new arcade machine!]

Remove the switch, unscrew the button, clean it..maybe replace the spring.

I gotta get some pliers to unscrew the button.

[Our new arcade machine!]

Street Fighter II Champion Edition!

Image is great and clear! I'm gonna repaint the sides black and then look for some champion editon side logos.

The 2nd player roundhouse button is sticking... I can unstick it but then it sticks again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Xbox One Used Games]

We need a new major company to jump in and release a hardcore system.. I'm begging for some company to throw their chips on the table.

I just feel that Sony Microsoft Nintendo need to be challenged by a newcomer or someone old coming back for another round.
