Der Luchs Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Folks, is a Coder out there, who can make a Video like the batari tutorial video for the Lynx? For a simple Game like Pong? I know, no one got time but maybe... Here's the Video I was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww3her2zk_I&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Luchs Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Maybe I'm blind, but I only found the Chipper Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do you have a link to that chipper video? Regards game development, you should take a look at LX.net's tutorials, they are a good starting point. You really need to learn the basics of C, but if you follow LX's tutorial I reckon theres enough there to get anyone started. Worth downloading Visual Studio 2008 / 2010 (free version) with C++ support, then if you follow his guide it should be straight forward in setting up the dev environment you need. You will need patience though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 lynxdev.atari.org There used to be an article, "Lynx programming for Dummies" here, but now it is missing. This is a shame, since there were both ASM and C examples, the former of which I altered slightly and shipped on a cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Chipper Video: http://bjoern.spruck.net/lynx/chipper_video.ogv Sage already told me, that there is no Programm like Batari for Lynx... I think that's it... Over and out ^^ I don't want to learn C, it's too much for me, just wanted play with Sprites and Backgrounds as i did in Batari with the Game in the Video. Thanks to all who posted a Reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's a shame, I am sure you could do it with help. The most difficult part is understanding the compiler and linker etc. The C code isn't so hard to learn but not as friendly as basic or whatever that 2600 dev kit uses. If you are any good as graphics in 16 colours maybe you could contribute to some of the games in development! That's where I always struggle. I must have spent 70% of the time I spend on LynxOps before XMAS just on the soldier animations and look how they came out lol. In fact that's whats holding me back completing it - the fear of having to spend dozens of hours doing something so simple. I reckon I spent about 10 hours on the code since I started it and 20+ hours on the graphics lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I really wish someone would take a look at BCX to tie into cc65 http://bcx-basic.sourceforge.net/ If BCX could be used then beginners could program in BASIC and output C code for cc65. As cc65 has many classic gaming targets it would have a massive impact on drawing in beginner homebrewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 @Gadet UK: Thanks for your words, but it's absolutly too complex for me I rather stay in the "Music-Business" ^^ I know all the Theory Stuff and make music since I was a little kid and I think, that I can be a bigger Help here, if I just stay Musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
