+Random Terrain Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Now the colors on the sprites will only stay colored (not black) for one frame! Because you don't have COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside your main loop: http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#colup0 http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#ephvarreg jr_pac_2011y_07m_24d_2018t.bas Edited July 25, 2011 by Random Terrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGtGruff Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Now the colors on the sprites will only stay colored (not black) for one frame! You need to put COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside the loop, before the drawscreen command, because batari Basic changes COLUP0 and COLUP1 to the scorecolor at the bottom of every frame. If you had set scorecolor to something (instead of leaving it black), you'd have found that the sprites retained their colors for one frame, then changed to the scorecolor for subsequent frames. So putting COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside the loop, just before drawscreen, ensures that the sprite colors get set to the desired values before each frame is drawn.

Jr. Pac Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Now to the controls... That's not going to be any fun. When you press up, I need the player to go left. etc. This game was designed for your television to be turned on its side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm getting MORE syntax errors. I just loaded it, compiled it, ran it and got no errors. Did you attach the latest version? It looks exactly like the last version that I attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
