vdub_bobby Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 More RAMness. This is supposed to be RAM Defender but, well - some things had to be left on the cutting floor. Like the things you're defending. Anyway, have fun piloting your red block and shooting the blue blocks! RAMDfndr.bin No free bytes.

vdub_bobby Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 You guys and this RAM deal! Makes me think of the simple games with color overlays for the TV! For some people (like me) the most fun in writing a 2600 game is writing the kernel. The least fun is all the labor-intensive bug-killing, graphics-tweaking, state-checking blah blah blah of the rest of the game. Writing a RAM game makes the entire process very much like writing the kernel. Plus, I've been kicking around the idea of trying to write 1K versions of lots of classic games (SI, Pac-Man, etc.) for a few years but never got around to it. This gave me the chance to play with some of those ideas, so I jumped at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Writing a RAM game makes the entire process very much like writing the kernel. Yup, that's one major advantage of writing mini and micro games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
