Finally the term "Bob's your uncle" applies! Congratulations! I was expecting one or two more courses. You surprised me, great work! 👏Seeing all these different games of Bob makes me think there could be a series of Bob Games; Bob's Wacky OctoHedge Adventures", "OctoBob and the Hedgehog Hijinks", "Bob the Hedge-octopus: Tentacles of Trouble", "Bob's OctoDash: Hedgehog Havoc", "Hedgehogs & Tentacles: The Bob Odyssey". Tell me those don't sound Awesome? 😂😉
With all those titles you've suggested I'll have my work cut out for the next 20 years. I'm keeping the "Learning Atari Basic" series going, keep an eye out for "Playing with playfields" in the next week or so, work on the game meant that the videos suffered a little. Nice change from the usual though ;)
@@8bitsinthebasement But they are great tutorials! I really enjoy them! Plus you could go further and make a more advanced version of Bob for PS2 or Amiga, etc.
Thanks Ken, and thanks for showing it in your video, the final version should be along real soon. Oh, thanks again for the suggestion on the game to game over thing too ;)
Hey Rudy, thank you very much. You don't have too long to wait now. I'll post a download link in the next few weeks. Once I'm happy with how it looks and plays (I'm really quite happy with it so far). You'll find the link in this video's description and I'll also send out a community post. Keep a weather eye out!
Thanks Rach, and you'll be able to play it soon enough too, I've made quite a few improvements and added some little animations for different things that lead to game over. Free download Yay!
Thanks man. I have no plans of selling this game, I'll be posting a download link in the next few weeks and I'd love for you to give it a try and see what you think of it. If you'd like to play it on real hardware and you don't have a way to get the ROM on your Atari PM me and we'll see if we can sort something out ;)
Thanks Dave, I'm glad that I stopped myself and made what I thought would be just one level in my sprawling Bob RPG game into an Atari type game (that and the fact that I had only 4K to work with). I've gotten great feedback from everyone who's played it so far ;)
Hey Todd, thanks very much. I'm having a lot of fun "testing" it with my son in two player mode and I've had loads of very positive feed back about it so far. You'll be able to try it out soon enough. Free download link will be posted in the next few weeks ;)
Excellent!!!! un grand bravo à vous, il est vraiment bien et super fluide, c'est super que de nouveaux jeux en basic sortent et c'est vraiment intéressant, ce que vous avez faits et le mode deux joueur doit être super fun.
Merci beaucoup, je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'arriverais à creer un jeu, mais ce bAtari basic est vraiment quelque chose. Facile à apprendre, tres puissant et rapide. J'espere sortir le jeu d'ici une semaine ou deux ci je ne trouve pas de gros bugs.
It's working on everything it's been thrown at so far. Atari 2600, 7800, clone system, Flashback, Evercade and of course Stella. The version in the video is what I thought would be the release one. However I had a lot of feedback and I've made some minor changes all for the better. I've added in some pre game over animations (with sound) and I reworked how the player starts a game too. It's amazing how one or two minor tweaks can really make a huge difference. I'll post a link to download it when it's ready and you can tell me what you think ;)
I decided on a name for the other guy just the other day (it's not Rob). You'll see what I settled on when it's released in the next couple of weeks, free download yay!
When I looked at the scenarios created in Batari, I noticed that there are horizontal lines, for example, the phrase "Game Over" displayed on your screen is not continuous but full of horizontal lines. Is there a way to eliminate this problem, or reduce these lines as much as possible? How? Thank you.
You can eliminate these lines all together if you wish, but in doing so you have to give up one missile. Just put "set kernel_options no_blank_lines" without the quotes at the beginning of your code. If you watch episode 7 of learning bAtari basic I explain how to do this in more detail and about 3 minutes into the video I show the difference it makes. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/ByO3TV5lhXc/видео.html Thanks for watching and good luck with your programming ;)
@@8bitsinthebasementThank you very much, my friend. I'm trying to learn this "engine" (if we can call it that), to create my own ATARI games. By the way, can the size of the scenery blocks be changed? Once again, I thank you for your kindness.
@@charlamps They can but to be honest I don't remember exactly how to do it. I tried it once for a game idea I had and it worked well. The best bAtari resource on the web is here www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html you should be able to find all you need to use it there.
That is nuts dood!
Not as nuts as the amount of time I've put into it over the past 3 weeks ;)

I have to say, it is a very fun game to play. I can't wait to see the final version when you release it into the wild :)

Awesome work my friend 😎👍
Thanks Stewart, I'll be posting a free download link in the next week or two. I'd love to know what your take on it is ;)
Wow!! Excellent and amazing work!! Looking forward to playing it on my Atari 2600. Thanks for sharing

Aw, great to see the game finished!

Really cool! When it's ready, i would buy a copy to review and own :) You could do the classic Atari thing, Bob and Ms Bob :)

@@8bitsinthebasement that works man! I'll get a hold of you when you are done, I would love to review it :)
Well, done ! As a expert in over ambitious games i can say you did well to make something challenging and fun to play !

@@8bitsinthebasement c'est clair , il à l'air très efficace, un grand bravo, cela fait vraiment plaisir et hâte de l'essayer.
Very nice, looks really good, have you tried it on real HW yet ?
