dgrams2000 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Been playing games since I've been like 6. Finally determined that it is time to start making an Atari 2600 game as a bucket list thing. Been playing around with 2 different training videos, mix of 8blit videos and a course on Udemy... After a day or two, I am understanding the very basics.. backgrounds, playfields, sprite creation... Now to start getting movement on the screen. That seems to be the part that is making making me hesitate. the materials I have for this are... okay. But at first glance, we are just not clicking yet. Suggestions? I'm not a fan of book learning.. I like visuals, pictures, examples... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
