+batari Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 There are quite a few more. I'd say there are around 20 that came out of LCC2700 (it's the college course where students used bB for one of their programming projects.) The programs are available at the following links (scroll down to Atari 2600.) It will take a little effort to track them all down (I haven't got them all yet... too busy to browse through all those pages ) http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~bogost/courses/...700/project.php http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~bogost/courses/...700/project.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/89940-list-of-atari-2600-basic-games/#findComment-1092835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 There were a lot less than 20. In fact, there were 11 that had names and I put them all on the list. I need to add Superbug (Batari's) and ToneToy and a few more, but only if I get some more replies saying this is a good list to have.

SeaGtGruff Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 There were a lot less than 20. In fact, there were 11 that had names and I put them all on the list. Is that from just the latest class of students, or did it include the students in the previous class, too? I need to add Superbug (Batari's) and ToneToy and a few more, but only if I get some more replies saying this is a good list to have. I think it's a great idea, especially if the source code is available so people can see how the game programmer(s) did something.

Dan Iacovelli Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm still working on my game using basic (it currently on hiatus until the next full vesrion Batari basic comes out, the playfield is up as well as players still need work on missiles though and other things) (if you don't the game I'm talking about it's my laserman game I'm converting from the game Idid on the TI,minus the speech) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/89940-list-of-atari-2600-basic-games/#findComment-1093171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atarius Maximus Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You are forgetting Jumpman, Roadblaster, and F-4, some of the best bB games yet. Thanks for the compliment. The jumpman game is complete, I just need to rewrite the title song. I've been working on it off and on for a few weeks, hopefully I'll get it done soon.

MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've been wanting to setup a bB site with code/game library since I found it, but I don't have the webspace and I can't stand freehosts. As OCD as I've become about the language, I think it's safe to say it'll be updated daily if I ever get the chance. Glad to see it's being done.

MausBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 That's cool but it's batari BASIC, or bB for short, not Atari BASIC. Not sure why this forum has that name, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the name it'll be released under, and it's easier to use bB to keep it seperate from the craptastic cart released way back when. There actually are a few sites around with source for that abomination.

SeaGtGruff Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 it's batari BASIC, or bB for short, not Atari BASIC. Not sure why this forum has that name When batari BASIC was first released, batari referred to it as the "Atari 2600 BASIC Compiler" (see the "README.txt" file for version 0.1, for example), which is why this forum has the name it does. As I recall, it wasn't until everyone in this forum told him that he should name it after himself (meaning his screen name) that it became known as "batari BASIC." But even so, the compiler executable is still named "2600basic.exe"!
