carlsson Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I understand that SYS and USR (Commodore speak) are not allowed, perhaps WAIT is fine as long as it polls an address handled by the OS. For instance something like POKE198,0:WAIT198,1 on the VIC/C64 would clear the keyboard buffer and wait for any key to be pressed instead of a GET A$:IF A$="" THEN GOTO.

kenjennings Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'd say WAIT is allowed as it it just PEEK with a built-in comparison/loop.

Bunsen Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 You haven't kept me busy like last year, so I had some time for my own little program. The little hero has a huge hunger after his nightly forays. Luckily he finds lying around some donuts, he immediately chomps with a loud "DRRRKKKKRRRRRTTTT". He must hurry, his blood sugar level drops threatening if he does not move and does not eat. But there are many potholes on the road, in which he can not fall in.F*ckman is controlled by the joystick on the left joystick port.

Also, if the sound frequency for each channel never changes in the program, just POKE the frequency into AUDF regs once at beginning of program, and only use AUDC POKES to change volume. Might save more space. I need to try my hand in this contest!

On Atari a nice way to do this is: REPEAT:UNTIL PEEK(555) This reads SRTIMR, which is always nonzero when a key is pressed. No need to clear the KB buffer with POKE 754,255 here if you just want to look for any key being pressed.

gozar Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Category "PUR": Program a game in 10 lines (max. 120 characters per logical line, abbreviations are allowed) With abbreviations you can enter a line of more than 120 characters into the editor. Would this still qualify as PUR since it was entered into the Basic interpreter?

hatchcliff Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Here is my entry for this year’s competition, Apple Max, in the Atari Turbo Basic PUR category: Apple Max.atr Apple Max Manual.pdf Apple Max Code Description.pdf In this game you play the part of a genetic engineer, designing the genome for a new variety of Atarian apple tree. The aim is to create a tree that produces the maximum possible number of apples. Details are in the manual. I made some changes to the scoring system, so this is a slightly different version to the one that appeared in earlier screenshots.

devwebcl Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 PUR is only 120 characters long, but for example I have a line starting with: GR.0 And that line has already 120 chars, later the abbreviation GR. will become GRAPHICS, so it will be longer than 120 Thus it will become a EXTEND game ?

Bunsen Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 No, it would stay PUR. GR.0 counts 4 characters, independently of being 10 characters (GRAPHICS 0) if listed.
