+skr Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I must admit that I couldn´t figure out how to create a working ATL-file. I do not have Atari Schreiber (or Atari Writer) and the only text editors I use on the Atari are Austro Text and The Last Word. But when I create a simple INDEX.ATL like <SL> ABBUC SWC 2013 <BL> The Results and then start the viewer, I only get a full black screen. What´s wrong here?

+slx Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks to all the authors for putting so much energy and time into the programs. I am sure the few hours I spent trying out all the programs were too few to really do them justice. I might have a bias towards those games that are easy to pick up but I'll try to get a bit more time with the more complex ones although I have just mailed my ballot. My favourite is Assembloids with Rolltris second although I found many others - including some 10-liners - quite impressive, too. My son couldn't believe that you could program a racing game in just ten lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 @Skr: When we all will know the results? Ending of Saturday or during Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 If like me you are struggling to make progress on The Hunt then there is a good video on atarionline.pl who have details of all the entries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 No. I'm just curious of the results themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Anyway, I'm sure the voting is over, so I am giving my score here, sorry for giving low points for certain titles. 1) Assembloids - 10 points 2) ATL Viewer - 1 point 3) Battle Eagle - 6 points 4) Deathchase XE - 7 points 5) Dev War - 1 point 6) Fujitime - 7 points 7) Heli in the caves - 8 points Rolltris - 10 points 9) Slovenian Quiz - 2 points 10) Speedway One - 4 points 11) Basic TEN-Liners - 1 point 12) The hunt - 1 point 13) X-8 - 8 points 14) Xirius Defect - 7 points The reason I gave certain titles 1 or 2 points is that I simply couldn't get it working on my atari 800xl, or I simply did not understand what the use of the software was. Rolltris and Assembloids are my absolute favorite games this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hello guys At the JHV, SKR told me he would post the result on the ABBUC website the same day and here on sunday. Since it's sunday already, I guess it's safe to say that the results will not be posted on the ABBUC website on the day of the JHV. :-( Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Well, now the results are in (whatever they are), here is what I would have voted if I'd had chance. The deadline came too quickly for me after receiving the disks. I saw that two games could have the same points also... 1) Assembloids - 10 points (Very addictive game) 2) ATL Viewer - 2 points 3) Battle Eagle - 7 points 4) Deathchase XE - 8 points 5) Dev War - 2 points 6) Fujitime - 3 points 7) Heli in the caves - 6 points 8: Rolltris - 8 points 9) Slovenian Quiz - 3 points (I got 8/15 on this first time without knowing a word of Slovenian!) 10) Speedway One - 5 points (Ignore the basic graphics, this is quite addictive) 11) Basic TEN-Liners - 1 point 12) The hunt - 3 points 13) X-8 - 8 points (would probably have got 9 if the diagonal bullets worked) 14) Xirius Defect - 5 points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 This is a request for Xuel/Lyren and Jose, I've read that you are working on an improved version of X:8, could I request that you do not call this game X:8? The reason is, people will get the versions mixed up and only store one copy (maybe not the one that they thought that they'd stored away). If it was called "X:8++" or "X:8 Unleashed" or something similar, it would be easy to know which version that you have in your collection. And also, the extra word(s) in the name will make it easier to find in search engines. This is only a suggestion though, don't feel pressured into it!

ilmenit Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 "The Hunt" - could you write some more what is so wrong with this game that it got 1 and 3 points out of 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 "The Hunt" - could you write some more what is so wrong with this game that it got 1 and 3 points out of 10? When I tried this game, it would not even start. Hard to give points for a title that does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanD Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 My points for the best 8 games: The Hunt - 10 points (very good sound and gameplay - if you've read and understand the manual) X:8 - 8 points (very good shooter, but as you can see the game isn't finished yet) Assembloids - 8 points (not much to do, but very addictive) Deathchase XE - 7 points (good 3D game, gameplay is a little bit simple) Battle Eagle - 7 points (good shooter, level 1 is too difficult compared to later levels) Rolltris - 7 points (good, an option to play real Tetris would be nice) Xirious Defect - 6 points (a bit too easy) Heli in the Caves - 5 points (looks good, but gameplay at the beginning is very boring) And I forgot to post the score of my own game "Moonlander" (part of the Tenliners): 1027 points The BASIC Tenliners got the 9th place in the contest. A good place compared to the lots of excellent other entries :-) The title screen of "The Hunt" is distorted. Maybe this is a problem on some real ATARIs preventing a start. On my ATARI the title is displayed stable (but distorted), and "The Hunt" starts normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JAC! Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 skr and I are still in Essen at the Programming Workshop - official results will be published when we have finished or Pizza and the Workshop game :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creature XL Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) So no official results yet? What's with the unofficial results? I mean at least Mathy was there and knows the results (or at least the first places). Edited October 27, 2013 by Creature XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmenit Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Atari 800XL 64K PAL, 1050 stock diskdrive. Is intro for the game displayed correctly? When does it stop and how? On the title screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
