+atari2600land Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Lives and score implemented. The one-digit number is the # of lives remaining. The four-digit number is the score. Because of this, I cannot implement the original scoring (if one was to shoot the Qotile in mid-air twice, the score would be 12,000 and therefore unable to be shown.) I wonder if there is a way to have one one-digit score and one six-digit score. Thanks for the compliments. yar7.bas.bin yar7.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogoandrei Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 On that book Racing The Beam there's a chapter about Yars' Revenge and the neutral zone is covered there. It's not really about code there (in the book I mean), but the author goes more about how the idea was something new on those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 OK, now all I need help with is how the qotile detects where you are, so where to strike. I'm using var27 and var28, but I don't know how to calculate their values correctly (correct being knowing where to strike.) These variables should be used between lines 182-191. yar8.bas.bin yar8.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Latest version. I think I got the qotile to get you decently. If not, let me know. I also added a sound when you hit the orangish shield. yar9.bas.bin yar9.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that too, and it's a bug that I don't know how to squash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Worked on this a little more. I made the ufo faster and added a death sound, among other things. yar11.bas.bin yar11.bas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
