My Pong Demo for the Atari 2600.

This was my first project with 6502 ASM. I just wanted to code up something decent that worked, so I came up with this. It isn't overly interesting but it works and that was the point.

Gameplay:
At the start of the game you press the "Select" button a few times. This will set the size of your paddle. Once you are happy, press "Reset." This will start the game. Every time you score a point your paddle gets smaller. You win when your paddle no longer exists. The last few points can be pretty tricky. Of course after that you can press "Reset" again to play again.

Sorry for no sound... that's just kinda the way it is. LOL

@RenegadeFury I wouldn't do my daily coding in it that's for sure, but it was a good learning experience. :P

good game did you make this game for your website

[GeekyLink]

Not really. I just made it because I wanted to try something new and challenging. From what I've heard 2600 programming is up there so I decided to give it a shot. :P

Nice,

and its written with ASM.

Very good :D

[GeekyLink]

Thanks, it was pretty simple to make really. Not sure what I'll make next though...

Hours and hours of fun to be had :P

Programming a game from scratch is EXTREMELY hard if you're on your own, or lacking major skills...

A hacker called Frauber fully hacked Super Mario 64 changing all levels and he had to learn C++ , study the music files and write tools for it, and it's took a couple of years to make. And that's a hack. You're asking GL to make one from scratch. Not to mention sprites, they'd have to be 3D, these are just lines. He'd have to make controls, textures, shapes, cutscenes... 2D stuff is much easier.
