Trip_Cannon Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Curt, what would any of us or me (the average layman) need to make that code work? Equipment? Emulators? Editors? etc.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I will post this all in orig format in a zip file up on Atarimuseum.com shortly along with some other new docs, sketches and memo's I have uncovered recently... Trip... to answer you question, this is a great way of being able to look at code and understand how 7800 games are written, perhaps mess around and hack the code into a new game or borrow pieces of it and make a new game from it...

Curt Incidentally, did you mean to leave the pagebreaks in the sourcecode? Just wondering. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Each of the files in the original source contains a couple different source files. If anyone wants the source broken down into it's original source files you can grab it here: http://www.atarihq.com/danb/files/sphinx_src.zip Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi Mitch, They came off of 6 5.25" diskettes and I saved each section exact as is, so whatever pagebreaks were there were from the original images. Whats interesting is I was originally told that the original 9 7800 games were done on a Macintosh (GCC got into making Hyperdrive hard disk add-ons for Original Mac's after video games) but these were from MS DOS diskettes.

Curt[/quote'] Interesting, thanks for the info. Maybe they had to ship the source code to Atari in MS-DOS format. Hmm... Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaData Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Is any of this code I can plug into the Atari 7800 Monitor Cartridge and run, as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
