vhzc Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Low Res Car (joystick only version) RC1 I finished the joystick only version. - Bring back the square counter and the thin line as a road border. - The car speed can be increased with the joystick. If no bug appear then this will be the final only joystick version. Still trying to get a paddle version with the correct level of difficulty. LowResCarJoyRC1.bin ANOTHER difficulty tweak: Now it starts easier, the space car can go through is bigger, but it reduces gradually during the game. LowResCar20201026.bin Update Some difficulty tweaks. LowResCar20201024.bin Very Little update: Horn! LowResCar20201023horn.bin Little Update Now the road is wider, so the variation of position of the obstacles is bigger. Also some sound and visual tweaks. No paddle yet, but almost. LowResCar20201023b.bin <<< RECOMMENDED VERSION LowResCar20201023.bin ######################## Hi Some time ago I programmed a quick and really simple game where you drive a car and avoid obstacles. Today I found the code and added a titlescreen and game over screen and here I share the 4k rom. LowResCar20201022.bin It was just a quick project I wrote during a lunch break so I will not add more features, except maybe a paddle version (and of course correct the bugs that can appear). out-18.ogv Edited October 29, 2020 by vhzc 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prizrak Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 @vhzc My 14 yr old daughter saw me playing this and asked me what it was.

I have a similar one (14AF42) as a back up. Both CRT's contain S-Video and Component Video connections. This thread was recently started and a few AA members have added their CRTs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I like the city background in the updated version (10-23), but I miss the visual countdown and animated road in the earlier version (10-22). Also, the later version auto-detects paddles, and I had to change that manually to joystick before I could get it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for testing!, I had to change some visuals like animated roads because I am using no_blank_lines now. I added a rom without paddle detection for easier testing. 22 hours ago, vhzc said: LowResCar20201023b.bin <<< RECOMMENDED VERSION 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Al_Nafuur Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 As always, very nice graphics and a cool crash animation On 10/23/2020 at 12:00 AM, vhzc said: It was just a quick project I wrote during a lunch break so I will not add more features, except maybe a paddle version (and of course correct the bugs that can appear) does a missing PAL version, counts as a bug? ? And maybe you can add: LDA SWCHB into overscan, then the exit function on the PlusCart (and hopefully UnoCart soon) will work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Actually tried to do the PlusCart reset on game last night and was disappointed it didn't work. Always thought this was a cart thing and didn't need a code addition to the game.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought this was a cart thing and didn't need a code addition to the game. No cart can read the joystick or the console switches on the 2600 directly. We just have to wait that the 6502 is doing this and then we can peek the value too. Most games (I guess 80%) are reading both values in the game loop (some in the title screen or game over loop), when these games are in the right loop, the exit function will works.

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Yes only adding "LDA SWCHB" or "LDA SWCHA". The worst case (a paddle only game that don't uses the paddle button and the console switches) would need both.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Gates moving up and down would be nice. And of course some inertia, I love inertia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSetIlly Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Love your style. An idea for an additional difficulty setting. The car could have dodgy steering and so is always drifting to the right unless you steer in the opposite direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowResCar20201024.bin 4 kB · 23 downloads Cool, exit function works with this version. now just the missing PAL version bug has to be fixed ? My daughter likes your game, but the gap is too narrow for her, so maybe you could use the difficulty switches to change the size of the gaps: A-A: very narrow A-B: normal B-A: a bit wider than now B-B: Kids mode btw. If you have 40-50 bytes left in your ROM, we might add it to the PlusCart High Score Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
