[bongomeno]

Hey all, I am here to show off my 1st ATARI 2600 game.

I finally got bB to work thanks to Visual bB! =]

Up until now all I have done with the 2600 is make simple programs with the Basic Programming cart lol.

Let me just say that this game S U C K S, but I just thought that I should share it with yall.

 

It is a simple space shooter that looks 3Dish.

 

Its called: UFO BLAST 3D.

The 'story': You (the hero) are flying your ship over some road defending your planet from ufos coming from space!

 

How do I make a screenshot?

 

Here is the rom and source... (please go easy on it im only 15 and am new to programming the ATARI 2600!)

SOURCE CODE

Welcome to the "bB users club"!

 

Yup, your game could use some improvements but it is already a nice start for a beginner! Hope you'll continue programming with bB.

 

You can make a screenshot in Stella with F12, i attached one...

Cool title screen. Since you're only using one missile, you could use:

 

set kernel_options no_blank_lines

 

This would get rid of the lines in the playfield.
