MULTIPLE SPRITES IN ATARI 2600 - VISUAL BB

[MiranDaniel129]

Hi everyone,

Anyone can help me with this? I wanna use 3 or more sprites in same screen, using the system of flickering, something like in Adventure, I don't know how to create something like a "corroutine" in this, so if anyone can help me, thank u.

The batari basic multisprite kernel allows you to have up to 6 sprites and handles the flickering for you.

You can use the DPC+ Kernel in batari Basic to have up to 10 sprites on the screen at the same time !!

One thing to note is that the flickering of virtual sprites can annoy the eyes of your game players.  Really depends on the person and the TV/monitor being used.

 

What I try to do is design my game so that virtual sprites never have to be on the same horizontal band as eachother.
