Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

As a test for the PIONES PIO statemachine reader of NES controllers I wrote a small simple game. The game gave so much fun that I decided to finish it (add a simple intro and restart options).

Objective of the game is to have 2 players (Blue and Red) outwit each other in trying to grow their circle beyond screen dimensions. Growing the circe when you eat green fruit that randomly appears on screen. But watch out, you cannot bump into eachother, the one who does, shrinks...

Have fun playing...

With any effort this game can be shrunk to less than 5k, making it a possible candidate for the contest....(yeah, it is closed)....

An update for the Circle game: Circle2.

The game still requires 2 NES controllers connected to the VGApicoGAME board.
The game is fast paced game for 2 players. Target is to eat apples and grow in size.
Tactics can keep opponent away from food. The player who moves when colliding into the other looses weight...
Win counter in top corners.

All graphics are circle commands (hence the name....)

Please enjoy....

Goedemorgen
looks nice ...
just, i dont have 2 Controllers so far and I am only one person, so I couldn't enjoy it so much ;-)
Next step could be a AI for a Computeropponent :-)

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I also realized that the audience in this forum are not the type that share their hobby with friends at home and would/could playtest games for multiple players.
There is lot's of love for the topic on the forum, but in essence the forum members are loners, that have a friends community on the internet. Not as much at their homes.

I am in the happy circumstance I can invite my wife to play (and she actually does), and have 2 grand children that would playtest. But not all are so fortunate.

So I guess the 2 port GAMEpicoVGA is doomed... Single port it is, with AI to play against. At the moment I have no intention to add AI, but that may change when long winter nights bring the idea's how to do it. I currently have no clue how to design a AI that could be tuned to different levels.

Regards,

Volhout

Your Listing is very helpful from the educational perspective, to see how Piones is applied in practice. For this reason alone, I am very grateful.
At the moment I am waiting for the delivery of right angle connectors for VGA and joysticks. Here, in the countryside, you don't have an electronics-part-store, so you have to order everything. But somehow, one get used to this .
--
Good to read that your wife and grandchildren share your hobby, or at least support you
Since my girlfriend doesn't share my enthusiasm for making music, programming and electronics, I don't have time for this on weekends. My daughter is just as crazy as I am, but she hasn't lived with me for a long time. So you are right, "Single port it is" .

Tot ziens
Mart!n
this is, how far my work on the PicoGameBoard has progressed till now.

Hi Volhout,

Thanks for sharing.

I'm having to ration my time at the moment so haven't had a chance to do much more than fire it up on MMB4W after commenting out all the PicoMite specific stuff, it's not playable like that but it looks interesting. Hopefully things will quiet down when the kids (and wife) go back to school and then maybe I will be able to give it more attention.

I'm sure my wife will play it with me once we get a moment and I'll show it to my RISC OS cronies at our next meeting too.

  Volhout said  So I guess the 2 port GAMEpicoVGA is doomed...


Maybe it's just on a slow burn, I still think (controller woes aside) that the PicoGAME VGA is a fun platform but it needs a push on the appropriate social media channels and it seems none of us are really into that.

Best wishes,

Tom

We need the internet gurus to show us how to get our *mites linked by serial over IP using ESPxxxx (or whatever) so we can get our multiplayer gaming action going, just like the kiddies.
Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs.

That leaves me out then. :)  I get confused by COM ports, I don't need IP stuff to confuse me any further.

You can link a couple (or more?) of Version 2 PicoGAMEs via the JDY-40 at 2.4GHz though, although it's not exactly a substitute for IP. :)

There are several strategies to win from the AI (the red creature). Block, travel across window edges, Use <ESC> to stop (and not get damage whe the red creature bumps into you). Only when moving during the collision you get damage. Or simply delay your opponent by accepting damage, but make him shrink also....

Have fun,
