Sand Falling Game (iPhone misc)

iPodtouchfans.com forum member Virtualball has compiled a version of Pyro Sand for the iPod Touch/iPhone. The game involves four different particles falling from the top of the screen, which all look and move similar to sand. The particles resemble sand, water, salt, and oil in color. Along with these four, additional elements can be placed on the screen with your finger by choosing the colored icons below, some that are solid and stationary instead of flowing. By mixing the different elements together, many colorful designs, complex structures, and systems can be created.

Bee Ball v7.0 (A2600 Game)

LS_Dracon has updated his game Bee Ball 2 times recently and is not at version 7.

Release notes:

Ok another update :

– AI fixes
– Net is 2 lines lower
– 100% of rom space used.

People, as no more rom space, the game is finished!

Sorry to not use all of ideas posted here, I’m novice programmer, and don’t have a good skill to explore at maximun the 2600.
Originally this game was to be single player, with no button use.
Entire game was re-coded 2 times, and every single code (movement, collisions, button moves, animations, ball, kernal, AI etc…) was rewrite at least 3 times!
90% Of codes in this game I never use before, the true only sprite draw and a bit of animation I already had study. The fractional movement, 48 bit sprites, repositioning multiple objects, music, AI etc… is completly new for me.

I need say thanks for everyone who tested this game, and give-me feedbacks.
Thanks to Albert, Nathan Strum, SpiceWare, Impaler_26, BlackJack, rheffera, Alex_79, R-Type2600, Cybergoth, espire8 and all people from Atari Age forum

Special thanks to Michael (SeaGTGruff) he post nothing in this topic, but help-me in the first bug I fond, in prototipe version. This game I started to code in Dez/06 so 1 year working on it, I need some days of vacation :p

Just for curiosity, in fist post I told this game was created by one friend. He create the main game concept (that is, bee using raquets). This port to Atari 2600 is very different, in original the bee don’t use button, you can’t do a stroke or block. Don’t have a Bee Judge serving balls and other things. But the interesting, this friend create this concept based in a mosquito character I create in 2003. I draw some sprites and he use some elements in his game. I don’t have the original game anymore, I lost it, but I found a SnapShot, see the image below. 🙂

Waterskier v0.3 (A2600 Game)

Fort Apocalypse updated his Waterskier game for Atari 2600.

Release notes:

0.3 – has enemies different for each level 2 trees, 3 buoys, 1 tree, 3 man eating plants (for level 1-4).

Will try to add sound and minigame for next version. Would definitely like to look into superchip features in future version.

Let me know what you think. I can still make you die after missing 3 cans if you’d like. I also thought about adding a jetskier that tries to cross your path, but that may be too frustrating since the skier can’t turn quickly.
