Captain Spazer Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Just a small project I made in 24 hours, I think it's pretty fun and very challenging. You drive a car on a road and try to dodge cars as you drive past them. The goal is to reach the top of the screen which will raise the difficulty making the cars go even faster. You get 3 missiles to shoot down the other cars in your way, but you only get 3 missiles, they can be refilled by reaching the top of the screen. Controls are: left and right to jump lanes, firebutton to fire your missiles, switchreset to start the game from the titlescreen, restart in the game and at the gameover screen. Hope you'll have fun with this silly title. It's main inspiration is the old Donkey.bas.

dadecoza Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nice work! Are you willing to share the .bas? I'm interested to see how you did the title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOWNLOAD - Crash Course.bin I tried it on both Stella and the Atari FB Portable - of course perfect on Stella, but will not start on the portable. Is there a way you could remove the title screen off the program and upload? It might work on the portable that way as it seems to hang up as its loading the title screen.

I was right, it works on the portable without the title screen! Thanks! Looks like this might be the first homebrew altered for the portable since the portable came out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Spazer Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 You'r welcome =) I realised overcomplicated games may be cool, but for me: Simplicity is king 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 You'r welcome =) I realised overcomplicated games may be cool, but for me: Simplicity is king I'm guessing however you programmed the title screen will not work on the portable, but I'm pretty sure most bAtari Basic games will work on it.
