[Atari 2600 VS Dreamcast]

 

Do you even enjoy classic early '80s games? If not, maybe you have your answer right there. I say this because the Flashback 2 has a pretty strong 2600 lineup, and if you aren't really enjoying it, there's little reason you are going to enjoy an actual 2600 in its place.

I do enjoy these games, but call me crazy, i dont really like the selection of the FB2. Although I enjoy river run alot. It's probably my favourite game on the FB2.

Hey Nolan! Where have you been? It's been awhile since Nolan has signed in.

[Atari 2600 VS Dreamcast]

I already own a flashback 2 and I'm kinda bored with that already. So I guess I will look out for a dreamcast.

[Atari 2600 VS Dreamcast]

So basically the VCS is cheaper?

[Atari 2600 VS Dreamcast]

I've been wanting to pick one or the other up now. Which one is better?

[Why is stack up CIB so expensive?]

Isn't Stack-Up one of those early NES carts that contained a Japanese-to-US cartridge converter? Those are in high demand...

only some of them contained them, not all stack up copies had those converters.

[Why is stack up CIB so expensive?]

I walk into a game store and they have one in very good condition running for 550 dollars... What makes this game so rare?

[How to create animation?]

 set smartbranching on
 set romsize 4k

 rem /** Use the first variable as a counter **/
 dim counter = a

init

 rem /** Draw a sprite with slight differences **/
 rem /** between sides that will look animated **/
 rem /** when sprite is reflected **/
 player0:
 %00100100
 %00011000
 %00111100
 %01011010
 %01111110
 %00111100
 %10111100
 %01011011
 %00111100
 %11111110
 %00011001
 %00111100
 %01111111
 %10111100
 %00011000
end

 rem /** Center the player0 sprite **/
 player0x = 77 : player0y = 77
 rem /** Make the background white **/
 rem /** Since we never change the foreground **/
 rem /** color everything else is black **/
 COLUBK = $0E

main
 rem /** Increment the counter variable by one **/
 counter = counter + 1
 rem /** if the fourth bit in counter is 1 then **/
 rem /** reflect the player0 sprite **/
 if counter{4} then REFP0 = 8
 rem /** Draw the screen and loop around to the **/
 rem /** beginning of main **/
 drawscreen
 goto main

So I would replace the sprite with this or add this to the existing sprite i have?

[How to create animation?]

How would i go about making animation for sprites?

[can't place the sprites]

EDIT: nevermind, i figured it out

That website I linked to is a must. After I fire up VisualbB the VERY next thing I do is go there.

Ok it's either multicolored sprites or the missle...

[WHEEEZYGAMEROOM]

Wow, that setup up looks so slick. You have some amazing game consoles. That must be a wired mess to hook all those up to one TV

[can't place the sprites]

Also, how would I go about making sprites not only a single color.

[can't place the sprites]

Thanks. I forgot the space before the line.

[can't place the sprites]

I tried writing the sprite x and y coordination, it wouldn't let me run it.

[Newbie Atari 2600 programmer. please help!]

I got it working again. I had an old version of visualbb and the complier.

[Newbie Atari 2600 programmer. please help!]

Drawscreen is a command. That goto is trying to use it like a label.

 

This general area is more for assembly programmers. Try the batari basic section to get more people to view yer questions

 

Ok thank you. Could one of the mods move this over to the basic section?

 

EDIT: I almost forgot, I use the "goto drawscreen" because the...

 

loop

drawscreen

goto loop

 

doesn't work.

[Newbie Atari 2600 programmer. please help!]

Ok, so I tried making an play field and I tried setting the colors. When I tried running it, it says "Syntax error" and the error seems to the be the colors.

 

This is what I have so far.
