Cybergoth Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi there! Heya Thomas, well done! HA! I knew that Paolo would win the 4K!!! Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 HHA! I knew that Paolo would win the 4K!!! sure, but only because you never even tried the favourite of both winners: Cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Chaos Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Next year, we need more ATARI 800 games in the competition. The ATARI 800 is a great machine and everything doable on the C64 and the Spectrum can be done on the 800. I may create a 4K version of my 1K Boulder Dash clone.1K was not enough to get some main features (enemies, slime, huge levels) in, but in 4K 10-15 huge levels + all features and MUCH better graphics are possible, since the level data is easy to compress. But others should try, too, so we have at least 5 games for the 800 XL/XE next year. Thimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Congrats Thomas! I can't believe people thought I was doing just another Pong clone...heheh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I can't believe people thought I was doing just another Pong clone...heheh. As I have already said, that's at least three games in one, not "just" pong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Here's a comment I made on 13th December last year about Cave 1K in the original Cave thread that was started back then to help it's development: "I've just played Cave for a few days, and it's the best 1K game I've seen. The reason why it works so well is the feel of gliding quickly over the barriers and then dropping sharply to get under the next one - a superb piece of programming. Nice graphics too. It surely is the bookies favourite for the 1K title next year." How's that for a prediction eh? Well done Thomas, it was clearly the best program of the lot.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 How's that for a prediction eh? Excellent! And who will win next year? Well done Thomas, it was clearly the best program of the lot. Well, I wasn't that sure. And Splatform isn't that bad, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Next year, we need more ATARI 800 games in the competition.I'll try harder to get my ports done next time around, unfortunately paid work keeps getting in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Well, I wasn't that sure. And Splatform isn't that bad, is it? Nah, it's neat...but it's very difficult. By the time you see you're going to miss a platform the die has been cast...I'm sure someone can get better with but the initial learning curve is steep. Actually, the learning curve is interesting: it's tough for a newbie to get a strategy that works better than just hold right until you finally die...it's kind of an evolutionary deadend, so to speak. (Same thing happened to me in this old game called Omega, where you'd program a tank to fight another tank...my strategy of sit-n-scan and let the enemy come to me worked so well that when I finally got to tanks that strategy couldn't beat I had no skills to really make a good tank) And Crash-N-Dive...I think it lacks a strong sense of achievement, it seems like you play strictly for points, not to survive for longer or anything. Just some thoughts. ANd of course, I dig Cave1K's control scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hi there! And who will win next year? No clue. But I'll try again! Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Congratulations Thomas I'll have to admit I didn't vote on the 1K games, but Cave 1K is really a lot of fun. Nice sprite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I registered to vote, but I never received the confirmation email. It's probably just as well; All of the VCS entries are excellent, and it would have been hard to choose one over another. Also, I only managed to get a fraction of the other games to run on MESS and so I couldn't have voted fairly. Congratulations, Thomas! Cave1k is superb! I think that each of the VCS entries should receive honorable mention. And who will win next year? :-) No clue. But I'll try again! :-) JUMPMAN!!!

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Nah, it's neat...but it's very difficult. By the time you see you're going to miss a platform the die has been cast... Really? IMO, if you you move carefully, then there is plenty of time. But then I have played the game very often during development. And Crash-N-Dive...I think it lacks a strong sense of achievement, it seems like you play strictly for points, not to survive for longer or anything. Agreed. I am also not too happy with this game, but I couldn't find a better solution that still fits into 1K and utilizes the basic kernel. Actually this game is the one of the three that had to be optimized most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi there! I'll be back. Me too Wow, cool! Any concrete plans already? I've been looking at a few more arcade ports lately, and while I'm certain that some would make excellent 2600 ports (like "Cosmic Guerilla" for example) I'm not 100% positive about a project yet.

Cybergoth Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi there! I'll be back. Me too Maybe. Hehe, good news. When you're staying out of the contest then it's an easy win for me... Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Wow, cool! Any concrete plans already? I'm hoping to enter MMd again. I'v already addressed all the constructive criticizm from the contest (exept sound) And I also want to do some more 1k board games. Kinda like Thomas' 1k trillogy this year I'm thinking about Connect 4. I Already have a display working (looks terrible) so I can work on game-logic and worry about displaying 7 objects (each with 3 possible colours) later. attatched is my latest Master Mind deluxe Scoring is still the same P1 difficulty switches between guess duplication or a clean line Colours are all the same lum value so they are easily identifieable (lum value is higher than the background colour so nothing is too dull) Input uses state change debouncing instead of frame based countdowns and this is all one days work master.bin.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can base it on my 7x7 chessboard code if you like - it could display a unique color for each tile, so it would easily do the trick for for Connect 4. http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archiv...4/msg00229.html Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 If you want something more complicated: http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archiv...3/msg00127.html I think this could be modified for just 7 objects/row and one additional color.
