    I'm not sure if diagonal movement would work here.. I think I need to clean up some of the code, because I'm sure there's probably lines of code in the physics loop that aren't needed. I originally wanted to make a full game out of this, but like I said, I'm not sure if what I was intending to do is actually possible on the 2600...

     

    I wouldn't say that! I'm sure with some clever code cleanup you could totally turn it into something resembling your intended game.

    Nifty! I actually had a similar idea, except the goal was to smash a large truck into smaller cars a la destruction derby. This could turn into a really cool game!

     

    A couple thoughts:

    - Is diagonal movement a possibility?

    - Full speed seems to be awful fast. I assume though that it wouldn't be difficult to tune it to a particular game's needs.

     

    All in all though, pretty cool demo!

    Yes, I think your #1 point is really most critical... the brain is quite willing to fill in the rest of the details when you make the right color hints.

     

    Here's the extreme example - Can you guess what show these single pixel-wide characters are from?

    Futurama! Do I win a prize?

    And also, if you don't mind, the projected price? :cool:

     

    Price isn't a problem. I have learned that ColecoVision people are a very wealthy bunch, they spend hundreds of dollars every year with ColecoVision games, mods and accessories. So I was thinking of $200 for such a advanced piece of hardware. But that would be for the module only, if you want the documentation that is going to cost you another $50. Add another $50 to have it shipped inside a box, otherwise a padded envelope will be used.

     

    Ok, j/k. Projected price is $50 for the SGM, $40 for Donkey Kong, when it is available.

     

    Eduardo, you damn near gave me a heart attack! :P

    A short list in the monroe county area-

    Game craze, one in all three of the malls, and about 4 or 5 around the county

    Game Players unlimited in brockport/batavia

    Heckle and Jeckle Collectables in Chili, lots of crazy stuff, but his prices are laughable on most things. every once in a while something slips through, but the guy who owns it is kind of a tool :roll:

    And Game On in greece.

    So, yeah, I guess your missing out :-D .

     

    Game On, huh? How does it compare to Game Craze?

    After 7 years, I am just tired of this project, I want to move to new things (other games, the CV2, who knows). All my fault though, had I not kept changing the specs every month the SGM would have been released years ago. Oh, well...

     

    Although I haven't accomplished anything that cool within the realm of my hobbies, I know how you feel. I like to do woodworking, and when I'm halfway done with a project, I get sick of it and move onto something else and don't end up coming back to it for months. Jeez, that little joystick I built took me a year to accomplish, even though I maybe worked about fifteen hours total on it, if that.
