Hi.

I have just completed (well there's room for optimization) a Port of Flappy Bird on the VC4000.

Download of binary on: tempect.de/senil/progra/FLAPPY2.BIN.

Do you want to put that on your site? Do you need a screenshot?

The console family turns 40 this year, a shame there is no homebrew for it... until now!

Greetings
Simon Augustin

Hello Simon

>I have just completed (well there's room for optimization) a Port of Flappy Bird on the VC4000.

Is this related to the port that was being done by Johannes Maibaum a
year or two ago, or a separate port?

>Do you want to put that on your site?

Yes, I will add it to the games pack, thanks.

>Do you need a screenshot?

Yes, a screenshot of it running on real hardware would be helpful.

The emulator seems to have some incompatibility with it, it doesn't
matter what I press nothing happens. :-(

Regards

Hi.

Johannes Maibaum? Oh. THAT project. So far all they got was a Multicart (I built mine years ago - btw that multicart and an EPROM Emulator together with a laptop from 1998 were my development environment)

Screenshot, binary and assembly source can be found on my homepage
tempect.de/senil/games.html
(the screenshot is pretty abysmal, I should make a new one. The youtube version isn't too great either - pick your poison)
If you are interested in any kind of homebrew games, you'll probably spend some time on this site. I have PET and NES homebrews as well. There is a powerpoint-like presentation on Videogaming History and it runs on NES.

direct link to the binary:
tempect.de/senil/progra/FLAPPY2.BIN

Btw. Controls are: Left Joystick Fire to flap (duh).
Select (on Console) selects level of difficulty which manifests in the upwards movement of the bird which cannot be stopped.
Start starts new game.
The left joystick is used to seed the random number generator on initial startup.
