OK i have no idea about putting sprites in your game. How do you insert sprites in your game?

its not gonna be interactive but its gonna be part the play field for a game Im working on.

I know one quick and easy way. Use batari Basic and the bB IDE, Visual batari Basic:

For an .asm-only project, your question is far too vague. I suggest looking at some sample code to see how the 2600 handles things.

Try visiting Andrews forum. Check out the pinned threads at the top first.

Im working on a 2600 version of TENNIS FOR TWO

its gonna resemble the PC version which look something like this

GCS0003.png

at this point Im only just working on the tennis court.

for the tennis net I decided to use a sprite that will behave like its part of the play field

but i have no clue on how to get in so that when i compile it would show up

Can you post the source code?
You must have some sort of kernel and some code which takes care of the timings of the video syncs.

I asume you are reffering to the net itself. I think you should take an overall view of what you have to work with and then delegate which things do what.

With 2 player graphics, thoes would most likely be the representation of each one playing. The ball which is normaly used for an object that is universal to all players (aka shares color with the playfield among other things)
So this would work best for a tennis ball

The other things left are the missles and these would be best suited IMHO for your net since you don't indicate you want to use the playfield graphics for the net.

The thing is, the color of the players will also be the color of the net then. In this case you could choose to use the ball but this is up to you.

In retrospect, I now think the ball would be best for the net and with each player being a diffrent color, the missles with be thoes respective colors and in turn you could swap out the missles for the tinnis ball depending on who is serving.

Either way, You could set up a value to a register and DEX or DEY for the length of time the ball sould be on and when you rech 0 do the ground with the PF and at the same time, turn off the ball.

The position of the ball never changes so you can trigger the H position once for the entire game and forget about it.

Hope this helps.

I think it would be helpful to know what you want the net to look like, Can you create a mockup of it by taking a screenshot from your existing program and then altering it in a paint program?

buts thats the thing, i dont know how to get it in there. :(

What code do i need to type to render it where i want it, and where in the .asm do i have to put it in?

so when i compile it, it wont crash or do something really weird.?

after all i have never programed before :(

The problem is that your display kernal isn't particularly designed to do what you are after (TIA Painter kernals are written to display a picture, and that's it). Instead of drawing an unchanging picture, what you need is a display kernal that counts down a number of scanlines. Within that "loop", the program needs to determine the following:

* Decide when to display the ball, and display if necessary

* Decide when to display the left player, and display if necessary

* Decide when to display the right player, and display if necessary

* Decide when to draw the net, and display if necessary

* If paddle control is desired, periodic reading of the port needs to be done.

* Count down the scanline counter and loop back to the top until all lines have been drawn.

At the end of the loop, turn on all playfield pixels to draw the lower "ground".


As I mentioned, these are all pretty basic steps. There's no need to be constantly sending data to the PF0-PF2 registers until the very end. The display is just a blank slate with sprites. The decisions go something like:

LDX #$00 ; set disable value
LDA ScanlineCounter ;current scanline being drawn
SEC ; set carry flag for subtraction
SBC BallY ; subtract ball's vertical position
AND #$FE ; check for 3 scanlines' worth only
BNE Skip_Ball ; branch if not to be drawn
LDX #$02 ; set enable value

Skip_Ball:
STX ENABL ; store the enable or disable value to the ball sprite


There are quicker ways to handle this (that example uses 18 or 19 cycles just to put the ball on the screen, and you only have 76 cycles total for single-line resolution...or 152 cycles for double-line resolution). I just spelled it out so that you can see one way of doing it.

If you have no idea what those instructions are doing, I suggest you start by learning 6502 assembly first.


If you can't be bothered with baby steps, you might be more comfortable using Batari Basic instead.

and

http://www.atariage....showtopic=47479

These will give you an overview of how to get started. I would hope you have seen these already for you probably wouldn't have made it this far otherwise.

The real changes on screen in your program are in the branch instructions. Like count from the first scanline until 0 then branch, then count graphics then branch, more graphics then branch, etc. At least that is my understanding but there are probably other ways to do it too.


You have the accumulator, 2 registers, and an incremental timer along with the 128 bytes of RAM to keep track of things to know where to go next in the program. There are other thing too but these are used the most.

There are also full breakdowns out there of the TIA and Riot chips which fill in more of the gaps.

You don't have to get it in there to make a screen mockup. What I suggested was to take a screenshot from your program as it is right now, then load the screenshot into a paint/graphics program and use your mouse to draw the net on the game screen in the screenshot, as close as possible to what you'd like it to look like. You won't be putting it in the game yet, just drawing a picture of it so you can show us what you have in mind. Drawing pictures of what you'd like the game screen to look like can be a very important part of the planning/developing process-- even big shot movie producers like Spielberg and Lucas sketch simple pictures of what they want the screen to look like so they can show the camera men, CGI artists, and so forth. You can do it with colored pencils and graphing paper, but that's kind of hard to post here (unless you scan it), so it's usually easier to just use a paint/graphics program to do it. Once we see what you have in mind, we should be better able to suggest a way for you to do it, if it's feasible. Or maybe you could just describe it in terms of something else, like "I want it to be a grid, sort of like a castle portcullis in Adventure, except it will extend all the way up and down the screen." Right now I don't know if you want a simple line, or a grid like I just described, or something else entirely.
