TaylorDuncan123 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 "Game Show" is a game where you spin a wheel for points, and answer trivia questions to win the points. My question is, How do you implement the paddle controller or the Joystick, and which do you think is best? How do I program this kind of game? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

GroovyBee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Checkout the batari Basic programming forum on AA. There are plenty of examples and tutorials in the sticky links at the top of the forum to get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuppicide Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The problem is with questions. You won't be able to do all the questions and answers in a standard bAtari Basic. I'm still waiting for someone to design something more suited for just doing text adventures, which you could also use for this. There was a book on cartridge released awhile ago, but I don't think they ever let the source out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about The E.T. Book Cart? I wonder if there is a way to find out source code from a binary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
