Disc O' Pop - Abbuc Software Contest 2020

Recommended Posts

Like promised here the sample player source code I've created with a demo program.

The player is optimized self modifying code, so not suitable for ROM.

I will initiate a cc65 merge request in the nearer future - after creating some documentation and having a function to re-enable the keyboard after playing.

 

Build the code:

cl65 -Cl -r -Os -t atari SamplePlayerDemo.c SamplePlayer.s -o SamplePlayerDemo.xex

 

Sample source data is 4kHz, unsigned 4 bit.

Used for the conversion "sox" (to 4kHz, 8 bit), an own 8 to 4 bit conversion tool and xxd to create the include file.

Have fun!

SamplePlayerDemo.xex

@Irgendwer - I just wanted to let you know that you have created a very addictive game in our house. The “Game Over, Man, Game Over” also never fails to get a laugh. 
 

You have created a game that makes the vintage Atari enjoyable to even a 20 year old. You should be proud. 
 

I will be setting up Altirra on a PC just so the 20 year old can play Disc O Pop.

Wow! 
 

I was fairly happy with 16 but if you look at the screenshot, you can see there were a lot of bubbles remaining that I could’ve popped had I not made a stupid mistake that ended the game.

This game is driving me insane lol

 

 

I'd like to see a version with a different scoring system.  Everytime you shoot a ball u get 1pt for first crack, then 2pts for second crack, 3 for 3rd etc. and when u pop a ball u get 5pt * current multiplier.

 

You could use the P/Ms to flash scores up as you create cracks to add some color to the game.

left to right:

 

pop 1 ball in a game.

pop 10 balls in a game

Land a ball exactly on top line

Land a ball exactly on bottom line

pop 2 balls with 1 shot

pop 3 balls with 1 shot

pop 20 balls in game (or in a session, can't remember that one)

 

No extra points or anything, just achievement medals.

I just discovered the source of the "game over, man, game over" sample. Right now rewatching Aliens and heard it in minute 73.

I don't know what else can make this game cooler... 

I think that they retrofitted it back into the old film because a really good Atari game would make the film way cooler.
