I know most have read it before.."this is my game idea.. I am new.. lets see
how this goes.."... and the individual is never heard from again..
That shouldn't be me.. I already know I am in for the long haul just cause
this 6502 language (with the harsh limitations of the VCS) are completely
fascinating and cool (my wife thinks I have brain damage with this new
hobby.. but long story short, I grew up as the first kid on the block back
in 82 with an Atari 8-bit puter... first to learn BASIC back in the day..
and I am kinda sick of new "idiot proof" programs and languages (example...
frontpage and dreamweaver with the tools have made an industry of "web
masters" that would mess themselves if they every had to understand simple
html code..).
ok.. Now.. what I am working on (in my head.. figuring out possibilities and
calculations)... is a port of Star Castle..
This game would use the driving control (i hope).. and circle three small
rings that rotate and enclose a base that fires at random.. just for a
playful player Idea.. once I have the code/kernels all figures out.. I am
planning on using(stealing) the player graphics from Yars Revenge. (Yar as
the defender base in the circle of rings) and Qotile as the
player/attacker.. ) this movement of player would be locked in one outer
circular pattern around the base rings..
I know that this will NOT look anything like the vector of star castle, but
I think i can make it work..
I will keep the group busy will silly questions for awhile and post any kind
of progress for assistance.
Thanks
David
