Objective

 

Avoid falling off the bottom of the screen or getting crushed at the top. Move left and right with the joystick. Press trigger to start.

 

Features

  • Smooth scrolling at 44 FPS
  • In-game music
  • Physics simulation
  • Hiscore and splash screen :)
  • All in Nine lines of Turbo Basic

Limitations

 

Unfortunately it runs much slower on an NTSC machine.

 

Code

 

Note that special ATASCII characters are not shown.

 

Line 0

 

0 PL=ADR("U U          *U*U*     ***** *     U U U U   y`Q< y`HQ@5(-5@QH<-#(5@Q[H5-(5@Q"):GOSUB 8:POKE 752,1

PL - Level and music data. Call screen initialization routine. Turn off cursor.

 

Line 1

 

1 ? "SCORE:",S;:IF S>H:H=S:? " GREAT!";:ENDIF  :? "HISCORE:",H:? "":? "              ";:WHILE STRIG(0):WEND

Score and splash screen.

 

Line 2

 

2 SP=$E2A0:PM=$A200:HP=$D000:SC=$BE70:S2=SC+10:CC=200:SB=SC+190:VS=$D405:POKE $D01D,2:C=1.4:Y=20:A=0.2:G=0.2:GOSUB 8

Tell GTIA to fetch player data from ANTIC via GRACTL, $D01D. Call screen initialization routine.

 

SP - Pointer to circle in character set ROM.

PM - Pointer to Player/Missle data. Not properly allocated. :)

HP - HPOSP0 Player 0 X position register

SC - Start of screen data. Blindly assume OS always puts it here.

S2 - Pointer to second line of screen

CC - Size of screen in bytes

SB - Bottom of screen where new lines will be drawn

VS - VSCROL fine vertical scrolling register

C - Unused

Y - Y position

A - horizontal acceleration

G - gravity

 

Line 3

 

3 POKE 559,$2E:CO=$D004:HC=$D01E:X=100:N=%0:M=%0:S=%0:SOUND 0,0,10,10:P=$D200:POKE 752,1:T=PL+52:R=$FE46:E=R+$FF

Set DMACTL. Initialize velocity. Set score to 0. Prepare sound channel. Turn off cursor.

 

CO - P0PF collision register.

HC - HITCLR collision clear.

P - AUDF1 POKEY channel 1 period register.

T - Pointer to music period data.

R - Pointer to ROM lookup tables used as level data.

E - End of level data.

 

Line 4

 

4 POKE 77,0:DO :J=STICK(%0):IF J<8:IF M<%1 THEN M=M+A:ELSE :IF J<13 AND M>-%1 THEN M=M-A:ENDIF

Start game loop. Check joystick. Set X velocity accordingly.

 

Line 5

 

5 IF PEEK(CO):N=-0.6:POKE HC,%0:ELSE :IF N<1.5:N=N+G:ENDIF :ENDIF =X+M:Y=Y+N:MOVE SP,PM+Y,9:POKE HP,X

Check collision. Set Y velocity accordingly. Add velocity to position. Plot ball.

 

Line 6

 

6 IF Y>130 OR Y<9 OR X>250 OR X<5:SOUND:GOTO 1:ENDIF :F=F+%1:PAUSE %0:IF F>7:POKE VS,%0:MOVE S2,SC,CC:IF (S&7)=%0

Check for death. Wait for VSYNC with PAUSE 0. Fine scrolling. Coarse scrolling.

 

Line 7

 

7 MOVE PL+PEEK(R)&31,SB,10:R=R+8:IF R>E:R=R-$FF:ENDIF :ENDIF :F=%0:MOVE T+(S&31),P,%1:S=S+%1:ENDIF :POKE VS,F:LOOP

Draw new platforms. Use OS ROM tables as level data. Play music. Add points to score. Set VSCROL. Loop.

 

Line 8

 

8 GRAPHICS 3:D=$BE54:POKE D-3,$68:POKE D,$28:MOVE D,D+1,17:POKE 623,1:POKE 704,$38:POKE $D407,PM/256:MOVE SC,PM,128:RETURN

Screen configuration routine. Modifies OS display list in-place to include VSCROL attributes. Incidentally sets GPRIOR, COLPM0, PMBASE and clears PMG bitmap.

 

Thanks

 

This game was inspired by two great games, Man Goes Down and Downfall.

What are you going to do with the last line?

You are only using 9.

 

Do you get points for not using 10?

Do you get penalised for not using 10?

Don't know, but I should be penalized for being too lazy to fill up one more line! Line 4 has some room left too. :)
