Thank you everyone! Now it is sold out! 😎

Everything looks good from Mexico.

Collectorvision now has copies for ordering!!! 😃 https://collectorvision.com/shop/colecovision/lunar-leeper-colecovision/

That's right.

Last time I felt obliged because someone donated a Pi 2. I'll wait a little before ordering the Pi 4.

Thanks Brian! Just answered your message. I'm for sure contestants will be happy. 😉

Thank you for your contribution! Indeed IntyBASIC has come a long way since 2014, and now every year there are more tools that help to develop with it. In fact I was impressed by one of your first versions of the tutorial because I was able to compile IntyBASIC on my cellphone and run my own games! Of course, I'm using more a computer, but people accostumed to using pads and big cellphones can benefit greatly from your Portable Environment. Thanks!

A MSX Turbo-R is the class of machine that you would like to have, but it is too expensive and has too few games, even only Turbo-R plus a V9990 can run the most recent Ghost&Goblins game so thats like 0.1% of the MSX owners. But let us keep the talk on Intellivision and the contest!

I think the video chip cannot address extra GRAM cards, and also GRAM cannot be expanded. In fact some games occupy the non-used bits of GRAM access to preserve data and would show trash on a Tutorvision. If Mattel upgraded this simple thing in 1983 rather than 1988, probably it would have get a bigger part of market because the notable enhanced graphics. A lost chance for graphical adventures.

Maybe in slow fire because it has been cooking for almost one year! 😄

That's right. It is not prohibited. But of course judges could penalize it in the "Execution" criteria for lack of compatibility. My first text said "penalize it by execution", but that didn't sound right...

Hi everyone. This thread is intended to make people easy to find someone wishing to team. For example, if you are good with graphics, music, or sound, you could state it in a post as offering help. Or the other way, if you feel like you are lacking in graphics, music, or sound, you could state it in a post as looking for help and specify what you are looking for. I would recommend strongly to only ask for help once you've a core game running. It would be pretty sad to find that graphics, music or sound remain unused. Someone would quote your post and et voila! I would suggest to assign a name to your team, and once someone applies in your team, let us make it fixed! This in order to not overload the people offering help. All communication between team can be done through private messages here on AtariAge. Remember to talk also about your expectations about prizes like how are going to be divided between team participants. Questions and suggestions are welcome.

You're right. 👍 The author of course should provide the building and execution instructions or otherwise the validation process won't get the right ROM file, or the resulting game running without voice could get a lower score because judges never noticed there was voice.

I took all opinions in account for this year contest! Reduced the number of attributes and removed the extra points for source code. https://atariage.com/forums/forum/343-intybasic-programming-contest-2020/

Just updated IntyBASIC to v1.4.2 in time for the new IntyBASIC 2020 Programming Contest!!!

The latest version of IntyBASIC is v1.4.2 and it can be downloaded from: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/286953-intybasic-compiler-v142-reloaded-with-new-features/ You'll also need an Intellivision emulator. There are 3 available: jzintv Bliss Nostalgia Bliss and Nostalgia are quite old and haven't been updated in some time. Personally, I'd recommend jzintv because its actively maintained and has a built-in assembly language debugger. The latest version of jzintv and the As1600 assembler for Windows, OSX and Linux can be found here http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/ (select your platform from the turquoise links at the right) For other technical information on the Intellivision hardware you'll need the sdk1600 available from: jzintv-1.0-beta4-sdk1600.zip There is a manual in the IntyBASIC release but for more background information on the Intellivision's hardware, in the sdk1600 you'll find: \doc\programming\stic.txt - Information on the STIC's video modes and hardware sprites. \doc\programming\psg.txt - Information on the sound chip. Lots of useful resources http://atariage.com/forums/topic/248209-the-intybasic-compiler-official-thread/ and don't forget to visit the Intellivision Programming forum.

Intellivision IntyBASIC Programming Contest 2020 Welcome to the third IntyBASIC game programming contest held on AtariAge (thanks Albert!). The contest is open to all IntyBASIC programmers and is sponsored by Intellivision Revolution, Elektronite, Côte Gamers, Mark/Space and Project Argon, and Collectorvision. For a limited time and to encourage newcomers, Mark/Space and Project Argon will give away a free "Programming Games for Intellivision" e-book ($9.90 value) to the first 10 entrants asking for it via PM to bhall408 Awards will be given to entries that place 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Drop us a PM if you'd also like to help out with some more prizes! THE RULES So you can get started, the basic rules are laid out below: The competition starts Tuesday 1st of September 2020 and the deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on the Sunday 28st of February 2021 - this gives you around 6 months of development time. There will be no competition unless a minimum of six entries are submitted by the deadline. Your game(s) must be developed in IntyBASIC v1.4.2 and use the default prologue/epilogue files. The assembly language statements allowed within your game are the ORG statement so that you can develop a larger game and the CFGVAR statement to introduce metadata. However, bank switching is not permitted. All submitted games must meet the entry criteria to be valid. The games submitted do not necessarily need to be new, but must be your own work, not sold commercially or released in cartridge format previously. NTSC must be supported, with additional PAL support optional (but encouraged). The maximum number of single entries from a person or group is set at three. If more entries are made, the applicant has the opportunity to replace a previous entry with a new one. There will be a panel of judges (announced in full over the coming weeks), and entries will be scored on a points basis across several criteria. The decision of the panel is final. All game ROMs will be published in this forum after judging has been completed. However, if the 1st prize game is to be published by [someone who can be you!!! Send me PM] its ROM will be distributed after game sales have completed. Project Argon also wants to promote entries, so ROMs will be published in its free section. All entries must be submitted via email to [email protected] by the closing date, entry should indicate clearly if source code is to be published at end of contest. The judges will declare the results of the contest by 00:00 GMT on the 28st of March 2021. GAME ENTRY Each entry into the contest must consist of the following items to be valid :- Game image in *.rom or *.bin+*.cfg. Brief instructions on how to play the game. IntyBASIC source code (and any required data files). Instructions on how to build the IntyBASIC source code (must be made with IntyBASIC compiler v1.4.2 in order to obtain same ROM file). As part of the validation process, each entry's source code will be built using its instructions and the final binary produced must match the submitted binary image 100%. Any entry that fails this criteria will not be judged. It is not necessary for any contestant to publish the source code to their entry. However, if they wish to do so putting indication in entry e-mail it will be published after the contest is judged (taking in account the special case of 1st entry ROM being delayed if published in cartridge format). Competition contestants are free to discuss their game's progress, provide source code, uploading concept art, GIF, videos and WIP ROMs and to also help other contestants should they wish to do so. For this, we encourage they to start a thread in the official contest forum with this title "Entry 2020: [name of your game]". Your entry must be submitted via email to [email protected] by the competition's closing date. THE JUDGING PANEL The panel of judges is as follows :- intvdave. IntyMike. Oscar Toledo G. (nanochess) Tarzilla. Zendocon. ZillaRUSH. Judges are not permitted to enter the contest themselves. However, they are permitted to answer technical questions and provide assistance to applicants publicly when required. intvsteve will validate the entries. His role is to ensure that only the permitted assembly language is used in the game and that an exact game binary can be produced. SCORING SYSTEM The criteria that each game will be evaluated on are: Originality (1 to 10) - Is the game based on a new idea or a twist on an established design? Execution (1 to 10) - Execution of design, taking into account controls, NTSC/PAL compatibility. Graphics (1 to 10) - Quality of graphics and animation. Sound (1 to 10) - Quality of music and sound effects. Presentation (1 to 10) - Overall presentation. Game play (1 to 10) - A measure of how enjoyable the game is to play. When the panel has scored each game accordingly, the totals for each criteria will be added together for each game to give it a final score.

Hi. Just found this new Dr. Ports video about a port of arcade FANTASY. To be honest I never heard of the arcade before, just searched for it and is pretty impressive this port looks so close to the arcade.

I've tons of Intellivision game videos on my channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA5HtS9lDA4nzEbx--3jQpw I've currently three games for sale at my digital store: https://nanochess.org/store.html A list of the games I've worked on (incomplete): https://nanochess.org/retro.html Also I've released some games after physical copies were sold out: Princess Quest: Space Raid (search for the ROM file in the source tree): Also some games have been released by Intellivision Revolution freely: Freewheeling games: I really need to collect at least my games in a single list

Also CoolCV

Toledo brothers? I'm for sure that should read only Adán Toledo G.

Got my copy and made a video Enjoying it very much!

Found the email address for ordering at http://www.arcadevision.net

I also have an Aquattack with price sticker but I don't want to remove it 😭😭😭
