Mikebloke Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's a cool little tribute, even if they can't draw a channel f in pixels or show the controller the right way up. I did have a go at the games, ironically the unattributed breakout clone is the only thing that could have run on a channel f. There is a YouTube video to the tribute as well showing off black video game developers and Jerry's son who seems to be in some form of programming role himself.

CaptainBreakout Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yep. Pretty awesome. I wonder what this will do to Channel F prices. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is I think this pretty much blows my chances affording a copy of Video Whizball. It's cool to see Jerry Lawson get this recognition. I've listened to his guest speaking bits at conferences. Would have loved to have dinner with him. Ooo! There's more then one game! Click it a few times.

Whizball is in the higher end these days but shouldn't be more than a couple of hundred even boxed. At least not before crazy price times.

+jgkspsx Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Happy birthday to Jerry Lawson!! He got a super cool interactive Google Doodle today for his 82nd birthday: That pays not-copyright-infringing tribute to our favorite system and its cartridges! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I made up a few vinyl decals. These are heavy duty, they will last for years outside or inside. $4 shipped for a set of 2 decals. Approx. 2.5" in diameter. Shipped in a letter to USA. Rest of world is $7 shipped in a letter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi again! I want to work on making a Channel F game but I have no ideas. I don't have any ideas for The Adventures of the Stalk of Celery, I have no ideas for other games. I'm idea-less. What do people want to see on the Channel F?

Mikebloke Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I've always wondered about ports of nintendos game and watch games, similar to the pothole level you've got there. Need to get back into it myself at some point, I still need to finish space race and billiards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I bet Billiards would be hard programming, getting physics right for balls and stuff. Perhaps later I'll find and play Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy and see what I can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps later I'll find and play Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy and see what I can do. Mostly my lack of ability, In theory there is 16 directional movement but collision detection is giving me trouble. Not any particular angle, I've got that down, just when I add in 4 new collision directions the code for the 4 I worked on last just stops working and I can't work it out. Been on the back burner for awhile now. Its only Carom Billiards so only 3 balls but would be curious to work out if a larger set of balls would work for other billiard games.

+atari2600land Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Learning experience: The highest sprite you can draw is 15 pixels high. After that you get an error message saying it needs to be <16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlasoft Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Here's a list of game ideas I've had for the Channel F but not had time to make yet: Horace Goes Skiing Snake 2 (Nokia 3310) Bejewelled Columns Dr Mario Puyo Puyo Pyromind (PC) Di Lithium Lift (Speccy) TNT Bomb Bomb (PC-88) I also drew the background for Donkey Kong Jr Game & Watch but can't for the life of me find the Gimp file....

+atari2600land Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I was working on a skiing game but I stopped work on it because I found it to be boring. Anyway, I went through my Game & Watch GB cartridge and found Octopus and began work on a similar concept but in a completely different layout. This is the 6th level in the Celery game. I am wondering whether or not to make the games separate so you don't have to play your way through to get to a certain level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
