Hi M. Al_Nafuur,

I'm Bruno STEUX, a newbie to Atari 2600 programming (I've just purchased a SECAM version on ebay, and I'm playing with it).

I've programmed a simple game that I'd like to publish in your "Public ROMs" on the PlusStore, as well as introduce it into the High Score Club. Are you the person in charge ? I've already programmed the interface to the High Score Club, but I need you (or the people in charge of it) to add the game to the database and to provide me with a game id.

Here is the link to the game source code and binaries (and the label): Paul's HappyBird. This is yet another FlappyBird clone, but quite different from yours - I've played it on my PlusCart - (mine has a focus on the bird sprite, and a gameplay close to the original).

The part of the code related to PlusROM is :

const char *PLUSROM_API = "a\0h.firmaplus.de";

void plusrom_send_score()
{
    *WriteToBuffer = game_mode;
#ifdef PAL
    *WriteToBuffer = 1;
#else
    *WriteToBuffer = 0;
#endif
    *WriteToBuffer = score_low;
    *WriteToBuffer = score_high;
    *WriteSendBuffer = 0xff; // HappyBird game id in HighScore DB
}

game_mode is 0 in Normal mode, 1 in Pro mode,

the score_low and score_high are 0-99 valued, i.e. a score of 102 is coded as high=1, low =2, and a score of 1159 coded as high = 11, low = 59.

By the way, your PlusCart and PlusStore setup is genious and works like a charm. It's very impressive. It really makes the Atari 2600 experience fresh. And I really like your 1942 bB !

With my best regards,
