Space Hunter- My First Game for the 2600

[zabitsu13]

Hi,

I wanter to share my first homebrew game for the 2600. Its still in beta, and I'm taking suggestions right now.

It's called Space Hunters and its basically a space shooter. It only has one enemy on the screen at a time and its the missiles are very slow when shooting (you'll see what I meen). I'm still learning the ins ad outs of Basic using batari basic so dont expect more complex things in this game. Feedback is much apreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I got back into the Atari Programming stuff after getting familiar with different types of programming and am gonna start this all from scratch. It will include color and Faster missles if I can. The source code is still up for donwload though.

Good start!

 

Some suggestions:

• More color
• Improved attack curve for enemy
• Missiles at double speed.
• Sound effects

I like it does need color and other stuff what nanochess said

plus add a life counter to it. it makes more sence then the score feature you have.
