snicklin Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Wow! Nice hires graphics and music! Question is: Who are the hunters and who is hunted ? Simpler question: What is the idea of the game? What kind of game is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunsen Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You can put "Ten-liners" from "The NOMAMs" on the list. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Further, charlie chaplin, why are you so impatient? Aren't you the one, besides skriegel, who sees the entries in 4 days? PS: The bit of my desktop background is there on purpose. Maybe the one or the other can guess what that shows Well, to get more equality or equal chances for everyone, I want all participants to show videos or at least screenshots of their contest programs. Your desktop background shows an A8 picture I guess, the colours remind me of a pic I have in my collection (but I do not remember its name). But I would not be surprised if its a new and as of yet unpresented / unpublished picture from the Morons and/or Exin... --------------- Regarding "The Hunt": Its a hunter / hunting game... Nice tip ;-) Okay, you have seen the title, thus you can guess that the game has something to do with a Predator. Its up to the author to reveal more information and/or to show more pics or videos of the gameplay. -Andreas Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Adam+ Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Simpler question: What is the idea of the game? What kind of game is this? Dear snicklin, it's written in the description of the video: "The Hunt" is a turn based combat puzzle game for 8bit Atari computers. You control a young Predator on his first Hunt on the planet Earth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunsen Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Some words about Ten-Liners. Ten-Liners is a collection of 6 games programmed in ATARI BASIC in only 10 lines of code. The games were coded at NOMAM 13 in Realtime. The collection contains a boxing game, a racing game, a lunar lander game, a hotline game, a catch-an-x-game and a guess-a-tone-game - all with max. 10 lines of basic code. In the video you can see the beta testing of the guess-a-tone-game written by me. http://youtu.be/n0euNEnFwmg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchcliff Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Regarding to the video it is playable only by old man who have less hair and are wearing glasses? That’s strange, it seems to play OK for me even when I take my glasses off – but I can’t see the screen clearly, so I’m not sure… Anyway, it’s time I said a few words about Dev War: I just sent in the final version, and this is a big day for me because it closes a software project that has spanned more than 30 years - although I admit there was a spell around 1985 to 2013 when it didn’t progress very much. I bought an Atari 800 as soon as they became available in the UK, and tried my hand at writing games along with countless thousands of other enthusiasts. A very common strategy in those early days was to use Atari Basic as far as possible, and resort to assembly code for the time critical bits like moving PM’s around the screen. This is the approach I used in Dev War. The objective of the game is to destroy the robotic pirates which are threatening the mining community on Palladium 5. I have fond memories of writing Dev War in the early 1980’s and exchanging ideas with friends at my local computer clubs in Kingston and Slough. I found building the VBI routine that maintains the smooth motion of the PM’s particularly interesting. I've also enjoyed extending it over recent months. I won’t make any claims about the gameplay, except to say that there is a definite technique to it, and once this is mastered it is not too difficult to win. I hope that everyone will find something to enjoy in this simple retro game, and that it contributes to the fun of this year’s ABBUC competition.

Creature XL Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 In case anyone is interested. I just finished "making a game". What does that mean? It means, now everything works (shops, picking up items, finishing the game). So, it COULD be submitted. However, there are some assets missing (SFX and logo for title screen). As well as many many enemies to set and rooms to design. And the most annoying part, it doesn't work on real HW. As I haven't got my freezer yet, I have no idea where to check. So, I might send in a preliminary version as well as sending it to phaeron (who has found some bugs before ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi, we just mailed our game entry for the annual ABBUC Software Contest 2013. Objective Rolltris is a Tetris variation where you have to create gapless rows in order to clear them from the playfield.The difference is that you cannot move or rotate the piece that is falling. Instead you may choose rows at the bottom of the playfield and shift them to the left or right, arranging gaps for the falling pieces. The game has 10 levels with increasing pace.The game is over when a landed piece (or part thereof) stays in the checkered area of the playfield. RequirementsAtari 8-bit computer with 64 KBytes of RAM, a joystick or a keyboard. Tested on PAL 800XL/XE models. Should work on NTSC (further testing required); the game detects the videostandard and adjusts music and gameplay speed accordingly. Therefore, the scores should be comparable between PAL and NTSC systems. AuthorsCode and idea by Marek Pavlík (MaPa)Graphics, music and documentation by Zdeněk Eisenhammer (PG)Betatesting by the authors plus Karel Ondráček (Solaris) and František Houra (Fandal). Thank you!Quick Facts• The development of the game started on August 10, 2013, 21 days before the deadline. The game was finished just on the day of the ABBUC Software Contest deadline.• It was MaPa’s idea to revert the classic Tetris concept.• Each of the 7 standard tetris pieces has a different color. This is achieved by the now well-known trick of coloring certain playfield objects by ORing with PMGs (known as PRIOR0). This makes it possible to have up to 21 colors in a line while the used ANTIC4 (160x240) mode offers 5 colors as a standard.• There are 10 levels in the game.
