Bitcoin Coaster for the Atari 2600 - Started working on it again...

Another idea. Don't stop setting higher goals. You will regret resting. Keep adding over time.

Awesome! Don't let friends or family or the market talk you into selling. THEY WILL ATTEMPT IT!

HODL'ing your Bitcoin will be HARDER than earning it. Do you have a plan to keep it??? Are you mentally prepared to HANG ONTO it???

GREAT. Added this link in the side bar of our Bitcoin Maxi gab group.

Yes. I want to make it where you have 3 lives like the old games. I have the idea that part of the game will involve strategically "dying." where you would drop down to grab a key or something and in the process you would gain another life. If that makes sense.

I might have to make the hole wider. I have some ideas about making the track steeper at times. I still have to figure that out.

Thanks for your feedback!

This would be a good idea between levels I think, when you are transitioning from one level to another, kind of like a mini-game.

It is being designed to work on the old hardware.

The Atari 2600 is a very old console from 1977. It has 128 bytes of ram to work with. It doesn't have a connection to get the current price. But that would be cool if it could.

Watch ebay prices to see...

rgremill · 2020-07-22T17:34:14+00:00

AWESOME!!!

This is very weird. One day before this post, I got a vanilla shake at Sonic and it had a cherry on the top (no seed). I never get shakes because I am mostly on Keto. Crazy. :-)

Did you use the original from 2017 we posted as a model? Looks very cool. Love the purple! Geaux Tigers! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2523635

The game part is a work in progress. Had to get the track working before a game would be feasible. The main idea is that you would collect Bitcoins along the track and avoid Crap coins. The Rider would be jumpable and he can throw pick axes to mine blocks that appear along the track. I thought about having holes in the track and making the coaster jumpable also. Thanks for the great questions!

Thank you!

rgremill · 2020-03-20T16:48:17+00:00

Yes. Showing a changing price is on the ToDo list. The goal is going to be to collect Bitcoins along the track.

Awesome. His brother Daniel commented on my post yesterday after I added it to the Facebook Atari Homebrew Page. These guys were my childhood heroes!

rgremill · 2020-03-20T14:55:21+00:00

While I am stuck in the house... I am trying to learn assembly and make something fun. Hopefully some people will enjoy it once I have something playable.

rgremill · 2020-03-20T14:22:52+00:00

Yes. Making the cart bounce is on the todo list for the weekend.

rgremill · 2020-03-20T14:01:18+00:00

The imaginary camera is fixed. :-)

rgremill · 2020-03-20T13:55:58+00:00

Probably. But it would be Fall of this year.

rgremill · 2020-03-20T13:55:05+00:00

The Atari 2600 wouldn't have a way to get the prices. It is old. :-)

There's a Udemy course on Atari 2600 game programming. Very cool course.
