Hope the colours don't look too messy on my PAL console.. It looks good, with black background. But I did mind the flickering vertical borders. My eyes were hurting after a while.

+save2600 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey there RePixel... just caught your post about Brik in the JumpVCS thread. You mentioned after optimizing the code, you had room for a mini-Brik game that also uses paddles. Wondering if it was now possible (at the expense of the mini game if need be) to include proper paddle support for this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey there RePixel... just caught your post about Brik in the JumpVCS thread. You mentioned after optimizing the code, you had room for a mini-Brik game that also uses paddles. Wondering if it was now possible (at the expense of the mini game if need be) to include proper paddle support for this game? I believe this game is made in batari BASIC. He would have to re-work the entire game to have proper paddle support normally. However, I seem to recall RevEng came up with a minikernel for paddle support as well. So, it's possible. Just isn't a simple change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePixel8 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Hi, I did look at adding paddle support to the original Brik, but using BB it really didn't seem possible without simplifying the game too much, in which case it just would end up being a straight Breakout clone. It's more an issue of CPU cycles than Rom space. However, this led me to find a way of implementing a Breakout style game in 4K, with paddle support, individually designed levels, delimited bricks, no flickering, and the result is by rotating the playing area and mirroring the bats it is just about possible within the limitations of the 2600 and BB with a small amount of asm. The result is Brik180 . The "180" aspect is more by necessity than design, but I think it provides an interesting twist on the genre As I mentioned in the other post, Brik180 will be available as a bonus game on the Brik physical cartridge which is to be released soon, but for now you can check it out at http://repixel8.com/games/brik180 Also due to popular demand, I managed to free a enough bytes in the original Brik to add the option to turn off the controversial flickering by using the console's Select switch. This version will also be available on the cartridge. Edited March 23, 2015 by RePixel8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'd buy a cart. I received this game for Christmas. It's lots of fun although I wished it utilized the paddle controllers. The joystick can be a little jumpy at times. The scoring is also interesting as you receive 10 points for each brick you hit plus an additional 200 points for catching each "S" that falls from the top of the screen. There are at least two "S"s per screen making them worth nearly as much, or even more than the value you get from hitting the bricks. As a result, it becomes very important to catch each "S" if you want to get a high score. You can also get an extra life for catching a falling heart. I typically only see the heart on the first level though. Does it ever appear after the first screen? Is there a way to make it appear? It's a fun game. I'd recommend it if you like breakout style games. I give it 4 stars (out of 5). I also noticed that the pages in my instruction booklet were assembled in the wrong order. Did this happen to anyone else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
