White Water Madness

So I have a list of Atari 2600 part numbers. The games near the end actually look interesting. Too bad they never made them. Jinks. Street Fight. Thunderfox. Looking for an Atari 2600 project to do, I came across cx26184: White Water Madness. Figured it might be a fun project for me to take on. So I spent about an hour making a title screen for it. This is what I came up with. The words "White Water Madness" with a guy rowing a raft across the screen.

 

I have never been white water rafting, though. The only time I could ever get close to is at my stay at Sunriver, but we never did. I did get to ride a paddleboat in Lincoln City once. That's probably as close as I'll ever get to doing it.

 

Anyway, I am sort of giving up on Upmonster, since I can't get the jumping right. Unless someone wants to help me, then I'll work on it some more. And by "help," I mean write the jumping code for me. Because I guess I'm kind of too stupid to do it on my own and make it correctly.

 

In case you want to see the guy paddle his kayak (or canoe?) across the screen, I've attached a binary. I plan to add music to this title screen, probably later today.

 

It's almost 100 degrees outside. Thank goodness for A/C.

By the way, when you say that you are giving up on UpMonster, do you mean the Intellivision version?

 

Because I gotta tell you that your perseverance paid off: you finally got the jumping to work great! :)

 

You should keep that in mind the next time you get frustrated and annoyed: don't think you are too stupid to get it done, just know that you need a little bit more effort and you'll get through. :thumbsup:

This blog post is ancient. A few days after I wrote this, I kept trying and I finally got it to work.

 

I know. Just keep that in mind when you feel the same in the future: it's not the end of the world and you'll get it. :)
