Getting started with CVBasic

Hi all! I decided to put together a small guide to programming Creativision using CVBasic. As you maybe know, CVBasic is an integer BASIC compiler with a QBasic-alike syntax, it targets several platforms, and the 6502 in the Creativision. The first step is downloading the most recent version of CVBa...

Sound effect editor (CVBasic)

Hi all! It is kind of hard to experiment manually with sound effect generation for the Creativision and CVBasic. So I decided to repurpose my Intellivision sound editor (you can see it at https://forums.atariage.com/topic/320358-sound-effect-editor/ ) and use the bigger screen space available in the...

Brinquitos for Creativision

Hi all! I've coded another CVBasic game example: Brinquitos. I've developed this game as an example for a local university, and it is small enough to be explained in one hour. In this game you must jump over clouds without falling down. It is a single button game. Enjoy it! P.S: Brinco means jump in...

Re: New game! Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons

it is not fully documented yet, but you can access the Creativision keypad reading directly $18, $19, $1a and $1b by using PEEK(). This is because the Creativision controllers are complicated enough that it is preferred to call the BIOS to process the controller instead of writing my own subroutines...

GORILLA.BAS for Creativision

Hi. I've added support for keypad (at least the numbers, RETN and the left arrow) to the latest version of CVBasic. With this is enough to make GORILLA.BAS to work in Creativision. You can download it from here: https://nanochess.org/archive/gorilla_multiplatform_cvbasic.zip This is a 32KB ROM that ...
