Beat Programming Contest?

[Paul Slocum]

Would anyone be interested in a beat programming contest for the Synthcart? I may back out on this due to the extra time it would take, but I figure I'll see if anyone's interested.

 

- I would release a "beat player" 2600 ROM. You would change the beat data to make your own beats then send me your modified source.

- You would have to be able to (or figure out how to) compile Atari source code using DASM.

- You would probably want to have a Cuttle Cart or PROM blower so you can see what your beats really sounds like.

- All I can offer is that the winner(s) would have their beat(s) on the cart and get credit in the manual. I just can't afford to give away free carts. This project is getting expensive.

Paul,

 

I'll give it a go. Sounds like fun.

While I don't have any kind of musical talent (although I wish I did), I hope others take you up on this offer as I'd love to see the end results. I mean, uhmm, hear the end results.
