MobileTetris (iPhone misc)

The team of MobileTetris was forced to change their name because of using the copyrighted name “Tetris” in their product.

Author notes:

NOTICE
Due to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, we have been forced to change our name, which was, unfortunately, in the URL. The site, with all of the name changes, has been relocated to http://tetrominos.googlecode.com

DMCA
We love you, DMCA. Please, everyone, take a second to drop Senator Orrin Hatch a line. He made this all possible. (He’s my home state Senator.) (Note: I respect copyright. I don’t mind being asked to change the name. I do, however, mind when it comes under a blanket threatening law like the DMCA, which is unnervingly broad.) Senator Hatch, you will never get my vote.

2 Player Adventure v0.2.5 (A2600 Game)

Fort Apocalypse has updated his “2 Player Adventure” game for Atari 2600.

Release notes:

Ok, I forgot there is no pfpixel in multisprite so no shovel for now. Two items both have actions now:

* Wand of Izgborsh – widespread mayhem
* Staff of Grobazz – shoots magical burst of energy

Thought that would be more interesting than a gun, and slightly less violent. No monsters yet… that will be next

Kindercomp (09-10-2007) (A2600 Game)

atari2600land has updated “Kindercomp” once more.

Release notes:

Addition is now added. It’s listed in the menu under “ADD.” Basically, it’s like Fun With Numbers where you scroll through the available answer numbers using the joystick and putting in your answer with the fire button. If you respond correctly, it goes to a new math problem. If you answer incorrectly, it still has the same problem for you to answer until you get it right. The code still refers to this game as “Math” because I didn’t know whether to call it Math or Add. Oh, and I bumped the size up from 8k to 16k. I think I’ll call it quits for today.

Kindercomp (08-10-2007) (r2) (A2600 Game)

atari2600land has updated “Kindercomp” twice yesterday.

Changes:

Release notes Update 1
Minor update: Man on title screen bows before the music plays. If you’ll notice in the code, in the third frame, I had to use “missile1height=0” in order to have a missile height of 1. WTF? Anyway, missile 1 is the guy’s right arm.

Release notes Update 2
Drawing is now an option. On the menu screen, press fire to select it when the arrow is pointing to it. BTW, the other options are just a silly test to see whether the arrows work or not and definitely will not be in the final version. The “Names” and “scribble” games won’t be on here because the 2600 does not have a built-in font/text function.

In the “draw” game, move the cursor with the joystick, and press fire while using the joystick to put the pen to the paper. Believe it or not, the other versions I’ve played (A800 & C64) drawing game do not have a cursor and you just draw like an Etch-A-Sketch, so this is a little bit better than the others because you can draw wherever you want without making a line.
