I stayed with the tutorials on Random's website for a couple of hours and got to lesson 12 understanding most of what I was doing but I found myself constantly confused at some portions of the code I would be looking at.
While the tutorial I'm currently going through is good, and very informative, I feel it was missing some key elements/just...

About Me
Hey,
Well a little about me. I'm married and have a son and a daugher. I am actually young for the Atari 2600 generation, I was just old enough to start playing video games as the Super Nintendo came so I have no re-collection of the Atari 2600 being in productions.
I did own an Atari Lynx when it came out with one of my all time favorite games Chip's Challenge that was later stolen and I never got it back. I miss that system to this day, it was my favorite handheld.
Anyways I got my first Atari 2600 in 2000 but the only game I had for it was Super Breakout and it was neat and everything but I didn't do much with it. In the summer of 2009 I was at a yard sale and I got a 2600 with 27 games for 5 bucks. Lately I have been getting into older games, and I was wondering what made the Atari so great. Well now I know.
I am also a software engineer/programmer which is what my BA is in. However I have never programmed a video game before. I have been interested in Homebrew games in the past but there never seemed like a good language to do it in.
Well long story short I read about Batari Basic and with the help of several people I have two homebrew in the works. Atomic Meltdown and Candy Catcher which is currently available for Pre-Order!
Thats it for now, I will update this more later.
Thanks

Disjaukifa's Blog > Atomic Meltdown Re-Write Part: 2

Well, after working on it for a few hours, I have another build for you! Two in one day. I have collision detection set for when you hit a wall, the player sprite disappears and you get two options. If you press the reset button it takes you back to the title screen. If you press the fire button, it will immediately start a new game.

Posted 12 September 2011
Well today I'm doing something I never really wanted to do. I'm backing up all my old Batari Basic code for Atomic Meltdown and starting over from scratch. Its my hope to free up the slew of variables that I'm currently using
As it stands, PAC-MAN-RED will be doing all the graphics, and I will be doing the rest. My Hope is that...
