Lolkiu64 #1 Posted January 30, 2018 I found this weird class website that has an assignment to make a batari basic game.It's extremely old if you look at the download links the teacher provides, but I found it interesting.http://homes.lmc.gatech.edu/~bogost/courses/fall06/lcc2700/project8.php 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis2907 #2 Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks for sharing this. I'm always looking for code and sample codes. I will check out the .bas later to see their programming style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolkiu64 #3 Posted February 1, 2018 My bet is that it isn't really good, this was before Random Terrain made Dim's and underscores common in code Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+KaeruYojimbo #4 Posted February 1, 2018 We actually played one of the games (Copter Command) as a bonus game in the High Score Club last year. I had no idea where it came from until now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolkiu64 #5 Posted February 3, 2018 @stargunner weird, I just wish I knew who this teacher was, and imagine being in that class with all the knowledge of batari basic. That would be awesome, you could shock all the other classmates, and the teacher I bet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+SpiceWare #6 Posted February 3, 2018 I just wish I knew who this teacher wasClick Course at the top of the page and you'll see it's Prof. Ian Bogost. He used to be active here, user ibogost, and is coauthor of the book Racing The Beam (a platform study on the 2600). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr SQL #7 Posted February 3, 2018 Bogosts' curriculum included creative game programming in BASIC and then in Assembly to teach the concept of racing the beam to program an analog Television, just like the book explores; anyone who hasn't should check out Racing The Beam and his other books on Video Games and modern culture, they're all really interesting. Bogost has also written some fantastic Atari games including a Levitation mind game with a biofeedback device. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vidak #9 Posted February 8, 2018 This may sound creepy - but you could always look up his forum posting history. I'm also pretty sure he's in the stella mailing list too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vidak #10 Posted February 8, 2018 Also... Send him an email! My idea about reading his post history doesn't work... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
