+atari2600land Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Gloria is going for a walk on a glorious summer day. Too bad she decided to pick this sidewalk, because it has radioactive white bird droppings on it. How far can Gloria walk before she touches the fatal feces? I took the dog outside to go potty. There was lots of goose poop everywhere. This inspired me to make a game about it. Right now, it's in a mock-up, "can I do it?" stage. I would love it if it all fit into 2k, since it's not that complex of a game. Goose poop is green, just so you know. It's different than other bird poop colors. Anyway, here is a pic and a bin. birdpoop1.bas.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 For some reason, the green used in this binary results in staticy sound being heard on real hardware. I replaced it with a reddish orange and the staticy sound went away. So now I don't know where she's walking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I unhooked the Atari 2600 from the VCR and plugged it directly into the TV set. The static sound went away with the green background. So I'm keeping the green in. Here is a second version. Press fire to start. Collisions are marked by a sound, this is used to test the collisions. birdpoop2.bas.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 This version is a game. I changed the girl sprite and added game elements: lives, death sfx, speed changes after 25 points, a sfx to let you know the speed is going to change. It took a while since I was having trouble with a certain stupid bug, but I fixed it. birdpoop3a.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Cool game, but 25 is too long to wait for the speed up portion. Maybe speed changes after every 10 or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Changed speed increase from 25 to 10. This helped me find and fix a bug. But now the scores will be much lower. birdpoop4.bas.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Changed speed increase from 25 to 10. This helped me find and fix a bug. But now the scores will be much lower. any intermediate speeds between 10-20-30-40? more like a gradual increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Here is a version that has more gradual speed increases. I had to change some other stuff to fit it in. You'll notice the beginning song is cut in half, e.g. birdpoop5.bas.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 What is a (WIP)e? And how do you pronounce it? Wipe or Wippy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I just thought that since it was about poo, that I should add an e to make it Wipe. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 But birds don't wipe. I think they lick each other's butts. Flies eat. Birds peck. Dogs lick. Monkeys fling. Humans wipe. Polititians talk... Replace "." with shit! Subbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolcrab Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Did you make any more progress or did development stop? This would be fun to have on a cart, maybe with some other 2k game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
