Heaven/TQA Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 http://www.demo.raww.net/minigame check the atari game out... it was coded by my collegues from next generation... and it was coded in XASM... anybody interested in doing such a contest @ atariage? or is anybody full with doing his own homebrew... could be fun... think about it... hve ASTERAXIS 2k A 2048 bytes contribution to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / / / / / / / |_| _| | | | |_| / / / / / / / _| |_| | | | |_ http://demo.raww.net/minigame/ 8-bit coding competition for A T A R I done by (in alphabetical order laoo/NG (Waldemar Pawlaszek) R0lAnd/NG (Remigiusz Zukowski) BACKGROUND It was a happy day in Astratia: it's King - Astronius VII celebrates his 75th birthday. On this occasion The Prime Minister decided to buy couple of thousands balloons filled with (as he was informed) helium. After ceremony when all baloons where out in skies one sciencist incidently made horrible discovery: All baloons instead of helium where filled whith deadly gas of unknown origin. When balloons reach stratosphere and burst all humanity will vanish. In this tragic circumstances Astratia's Ministery of Defence decided to send their best pilot in confidential mission: to destroy all balloons before it'll be too late! For this operation there is prepared supersonic airplane armed with ammunition capable to neutralize the poison. There is only one pilot who can manage it: YOU Tips: - Be extremaly carefull: the higher You are, the air is more thin and balloon are flying faster. - Flying whith supersonic velocities try to fire to targets with care: your jet may be faster than your missiles. Good Luck and God Bless You! CONTROLLING ISSUES Controlling the game needs Paddles plugged to port 1. Don't trouble with this bizarre hardware, because every (i hope so) good Atari emulator can emulate it via mouse. Game was developed on Atari800Win Plus 2.8, so if your program don't support proper paddle emulation try to obtain this great emulator from locations linked from emulator section of MiniGame HomePage. In Atari800Win paddle emulation can be set by selecting in your menu Input->Mouse (or Atari->Mouse) then selecting paddles as emuleted device in mouse port 1 (top limit of paddle range must be 228). Then capture mouse by pressing F12. I'd like to excuse for possible inconveniece assotiated with need of this strange configuration, but analogue controlling is the best for this kind of game. Also I hope that it isn't opposed to point three of rules in case of "requirement of external hardware" Only controlls are Paddles (i.e. your mouse and their triggers (mouse buttons) TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS Game file (Aster2k.xex) is a plane Atari executable. It should be loaded and executed without any complications. There is also enclosed Atari disk image Aster2k.atr. Source code included in Aster2k.asx file. Game needs clear memory to run properely. KNOWN BUGS Sometimes balloons can be shown up in middle of screen instead of it's background (don't ask me why Rarely after comming back to title screen some sprites may be not turned off - it can be observed as thin bar across the screen (easy to eliminate, but duncare FULL CREDITS R0lAnd: background stars effect based on sprite (missile) multiplication engine paddle controlling routines with world translations laoo: all the rest during few nights supported by strong coffee OTHER Greetings flies to all active (real or emu atari sceners and minigame competitions organisers and participants.
