Any Ideas?

[The #5]

I know everyone has at least thought (or dreamed) about creating an Atari game, so I thought I could start this topic so people can talk and share their ideas (I have some, check out my other topic)!

You should look into Batari Basic. It is exceptionally well done and makes creating an Atari game a breeze!

I have, and I've tryed to set it up, but its incredibly complicated to me, being only 13.

Don't worry. This stuff is complicated - to me as well. I'm in my 30's and have a M.S. in computer science. Trying to tackle this stuff at 13 is exceptional.

Thanks, and since I've said that I got it to work

Used to program games in qBasic when I was around 8-9 years old

but now I'm mostly using ASM for everything

Is that related to visual bB?

QBasic is a version of the BASIC programming language that eventually evolved into Visual Basic .NET

 

BASIC -> BASICA -> GWBASIC -> QBasic -> Visual Basic 1...6 -> Visual Basic .NET

Oh, ok, thanks

I'll throw an idea up just for fun. Feel free to use or discard at your leisure. We'll call this one Dwarven Defender. You play a dwarf defending a castle from an onslaught of dragons. It plays like Off the Wall where you try to reflect dragon fire back at the dragons with your shield. The dragons breath fireballs down upon the tower you are guarding. A reflected fireball that touches a dragon kills it. Your main form of offense is a triangular spray of water(probably looks like the flashlight beam on Mountain King) to put out the fires. If three fires are started on the tower, you lose a life. If the dwarf touches a fire without putting it out, you lose a life. Three lives. 10 dragons per level, 2-3 on screen at a time. The levels get progressively faster with possibly more dragons. A spear appears periodically on either side of the tower. Each time you touch one it can be thrown once as a free attempt to kill a dragon. When holding a spear, tower fires cannot be put out until the spear is thrown. Score based upon dragons killed. Next caller!
