Game Maker (Atari 2600)

Ever dreamt to make a game for Atari 2600? This can make your life easier.

With the up and down arrow key you choose a line of the code. With left and right keys you increase or decrease a counter in binary format in that position of the code. Below you will see the game itself, that your code is producing.

The following text will show the organization of the code:

Line 1: Background Bitmap Address

Line2: Background Color

Line 3: Playfield Color

Line 4: Sprite 1 Bitmap Address

Line 5: Color of Sprite 1

Line 6: X coordinate of Sprite 1

Line 7: Y coordinate of Sprite 1

Line 8: Address for Sprite 1 Event Code

Line 9: HMOVE of Sprite 1 (not implemented yet)

Line 10: Sprite 2 Bitmap Address

Line 11: Color of Sprite 2

Line 12: X coordinate of Sprite 2

Line 13: Y coordinate of Sprite 2

Line 14: Address for Sprite 2 Event Code

Line 15: HMOVE of Sprite 2 (not implemented yet)

Line 16, 17 and 18, Coordinates for Player.

Event Code Format (triggered when player touches sprite):

First line: Constant

Second line: Memory position in which said constant will be copied.

Third line: Constant

Fourth line: Idem Second line

Fifth line: Constant

Sixth line: Idem Second line

It's still a work in progress, but I suppose you still can do interesting things with it.

It's needed the Stella (or any other) emulator to run it.

(Pro tip: Just don't touch the playfield walls with the player)

You can control the player with joystick B: In Stella, keys: g,h,j,y
