i could take a shit that looks better than that.

[Fastest way for a 15 year old to learn 6502?]

can someone help me out? i am only 15 at the moment, stubborn, and need a fast, easy way to learn 6502. not necessarily become fluent just yet, but to learn the basics.

 

i already read some of "Atari Roots" but i dont have an atari 800 or 400 and i dont plan on buying one.

 

i know these basic things so far

 

off/on, yes/no, white/black, the whole concept of the numbers 1 and 0

 

i know that 1111 1111 = 255 and that's all that 8-bit can handle.

 

that's all i know about 6502, and i really need help, any help is appreciated!

or atari birds!

[Game Idea!]

i had an idea today for a game, an angry birds "port" for the VCS. just something simle like a blue background and different levels with different structures with pigs or as i would use on here, Green Squares, and just like the angry birds game. idk if we can do the multiple types of birds though, fyi.

im just OCD about blank lines i cant wait till i get my game done~ i still gotta work on that

[Drakhan's Night]

you need to fix the blanklines on the playfield it looks like. i'm not sure if that is a playfield or not though~

this makes what i did once when i was bored look good~ i hot glued a whole stick of hot glue all over a piece of paper and put a quarter in the middle of it and thought it looked cool for 5 seconds~

i wanna cry...

so i havent worked on this game in a few weeks, gotta think of some other features i should put

[RPG 2600]

so i decided to use data instead of the other playfield stuff. how do i do that now?

So wait a couple of years, and then ask RT's mother to read you the VIC-20 manual!

 

if i knew RT and his mother i would... but sadly i don't

When I was around 17, family friends gave me a Commodore VIC-20 computer.

there should be a BASIC compiler that you can make NES games with, something called "Bintendo BASIC" or something. that would be cool.

tinkernut gave me something to do all summer, i started with his tutorial back in december/january

[RPG 2600]

[RPG 2600]

I' giving myself till september to finish this

[RPG 2600]

to tell you the truth, im very new to basic, so idk what you put where usually

[RPG 2600]

what code? like movement? colors?

[RPG 2600]

more screens than just one

There are various ways you can do that. You can use data with playfield variables or pfpixel/pfhline/pfvline, or pfpixel/pfhline/pfvline without data, or a bunch of these:

 

 playfield:
................................
................................
....XXXXXX...X....X...XX...X....
.............X....X........X....
.............X....X........X....
....XX....XXXX....XXXX.....X....
................................
................................
....XX...XX..XXXXXX..XX...XX....
................................
................................
end

 

 

when you say that, do you mean put something like

 

screen1
playfield:
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
end

screen2
playfield:
 ................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
end

if joy0right && player0x < 154 then goto screen2
