vague non-committal update #1

Atari 2600 game 1

• title: denial '77 (a simple game inspired by 1980 arcade game Space Zap)
• sound effects tested - sound ugly, but I know how to make sounds now :)
• all critical graphic objects now working with some screen draw cycles left over so may add some more details
• enemy 'AI' underway

Future games...

Several partially formed ideas have bubbled up for future games in this project

• Atari 2600
• title: responsibility (...)
• title: crushing despair (I know, fun right...)
• something using a driving controller as one came with 2600 I bought last week - maybe a driving game, or a super hectic auto-firing shooter
• Atari 8 bit
• some sort of endless runner (nice smooth scrolling features in these machines)
• derivative vertical / horizontal shooter
• derivative platformer
• does the Atari 2600 driving controller work here?
• C64
• maybe one or more of the same games as the Atari - interested to contrast the approaches to the same problems
• TRS-80
• denial '77 remake denial '78
• arcade variant of daleks?
• will need to look at some old TRS-80 games for ideas about what works well
