"Game Show" is a game where you spin a wheel for points, and answer trivia questions to win the points. My question is, How do you implement the paddle controller or the Joystick, and which do you think is best? How do I program this kind of game? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Checkout the batari Basic programming forum on AA. There are plenty of examples and tutorials in the sticky links at the top of the forum to get you started.

The problem is with questions. You won't be able to do all the questions and answers in a standard bAtari Basic.

I'm still waiting for someone to design something more suited for just doing text adventures, which you could also use for this.

There was a book on cartridge released awhile ago, but I don't think they ever let the source out.

you could go the odyssey route and have a lot of documentation and quiz books....

Unless, perhaps, the questions are randomly generated math problems.

Are you talking about The E.T. Book Cart? I wonder if there is a way to find out source code from a binary.
