DevBR Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hello everybody! I'm developing games for Atari using Batari, however, talking to one of the forum contributors in another topic, I read about programming games in "C". Could anyone recommend a tutorial that teaches me how to create my game development environment for Atari in "C"? From what I could understand, programming in "C" in this case will enable the IF/ELSE structure among other facilities at the time of programming. Thank you very much in advance!

+splendidnut Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 What is your level of programming knowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There is a new kid on the block for C programming: cc2600 It is not pure ANSI C. But rather optimized for the 2600. I have played with its big brother cc7800. There is some examples available as a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to work with programming a long time ago... more than 20 years. But I never work with "C", that's why I asked for a tutorial that would teach me how to install the development environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about programming knowledge / experience because there seems to be some confusion here. For what it's worth, batariBasic has IF/ELSE. Anything else I talked about in regards to 'C' programming in the BruceLee thread (local variables / parameter passing) may only apply to my own compiler, 'Neolithic C'. I'm sorry if there was any confusion due to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bsteux Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wrt to cc2600, there is no tutorial at the moment. Before starting to write some code, I highly recommend to have a deep look at all the examples, like armor_ambush_reloaded, or example_shmup.c for the multisprite engine. If you can understand how these work, you are ready to make your own game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if there was any confusion due to that. No problem! I believe I ended up giving a wrong example (IF/ELSE). 🙂 But that's ok, I finished to set up the development environment and I compiled a simple example in "C". Thank you for your help!

I appreciate all the help you gave me bsteux and with it I managed to compile the first .C I'll try to create a tutorial on how to install it "step by step" and maybe post it here on the forum. Best regards! 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any contribution is really welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
