Choppy Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Can Batari BASIC display multiple sprites on different scanlines so we can display more than two sprites on screen? Example: Would it be possible to do what David Crane did in Pitfall using a sprite to create the branches of the trees? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 If you want to make your own carts there's the older Multi Sprite Kernel. Arguably simpler to figure out, too. https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#multikernel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppy Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 (edited) Thanks for the info. DPC+ looks like it will do what I wanted to do but is it true I can’t make a cart with the code? Too bad. Edited July 22 by Choppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad. I think he was talking about making your own at home with a gas mask, some solder, and high explosives or something. Unless something has changed, you can have AtariAge do it for you and that includes DPC+ games: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=page_view&p=atariage_melody 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we just suggested DPC+ (and it doesn't suit their needs) they might give up thinking that's the only option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
