The tenliner port is almost ready:

It only uses 7 lines and a half, so there is a lot of space for enhancements... :lol:

 

Wow, the fact that this was done in 7.5 lines let alone 10 is astounding, it's looking amazing (and complete) already!

Thanks for sharing. I am really happy for having the sequel of this game series. Congrats and thanks to the Legendary Simon Hunt that keeps on the classic style games alive. In his honor I found a game play to share with all of you.

It's incredible that you managed to fit that into only 7½ lines!  

Current abbreviated listing has 1915 chars, and has some improvements from the video (speed ups for a more challenging game).

 

EXTREM-256 category allows up to 2560 chars (2550 in FastBasic) -> 7.5 lines

PUR-120 category allows up to 1200 chars -> 16 lines

 

I wanted to fit this game into 1200 chars, but that only worked when there was only one player. When I added the second player, I had to duplicate portions of the code, going over 1500 chars.

 

I faced two options: trying to reuse code instead of duplicate it to fit the PUR-120 category, and to missing features like the twinkle stars, the mountains and the scores, jumping to the EXTREM-256 category. I went into the higher, and I still have more than 600 bytes to add a better intro screen.

 

... but I still want to try a PUR-120 version.

what's all this?

A list of all Atari 8-Bit and 5200 games that were either completed or updated as a WIP in 2021. I ran across the video of your WIP game and added it to the list.

 

For more information, check the first post of the thread.

Hey all, I have been lurking here quite a bit and enjoying all the excellent work going on (and especially the games my good friends are working on).  I appreciated it all, and this stuff really keeps me enjoying my Atari roots!

 

@ZeroPage Homebrew  Though my recent involvement is minimal (don't have as much time as I did in the 80's) I was encouraged to finally get an account so I could be included in any notifications - I'm the W from the AWA games such as Kooky's Quest.

 

Thanks,

John

Hi John, welcome to the forums and nice to meet you. Thank you for continuing to make games for our favourite systems! I'll be in touch with your via PM shortly. ?
