Making Mutatis // Too!! Many!! Scanlines!! // Troubleshooting My Atari 2600 Homebrew Game

Описание: #Atari2600 #bAtariBASIC #Homebrew #GameDev #IndieGame
Mommas don't let your babies grow up to make video games. A fun thing happened. James and Tanya of ZeroPage Homebrew played MUTATIS on their livestream and James sent me an email explaining the game exceeded the stable scanline count for an Atari 2600 game and thus would jitter on actual hardware. I did not know this! In this video I track down the main culprit.
