As I stated a few days ago (didn't I?) I've been working on a port of Poke 5,n over to SmileBASIC.
It's been going fairly well, but I had to integrate Touch control to my framework. Eeek!!

Let's create a classic retro effect.
Flames!

As with all of these tutorials, you can hit F5 at pretty much any step of the process to see how the changes in code have impacted the program.

I enjoyed my day off, yesterday. Got a few none-gamedev things worked out, and even started playing with paper again.
Wondering whether to bring back my old Paper Arcade crafts, expand the DVD Case images to fit properly and include a back, and maybe even some oldskool cardboard boxes and cassette inlays.
.. Yep, even when not coding, my mind is fizzling away, trying to keep itself busy and not worry about all the doom and gloom outside.

I've been asked how I achieve my scrolling backgrounds, especially since (as you can probably tell from my games) I'm not using "normal" techniques.
So, let's code a quick example, and you can hopefully follow along.
WARNING : This is far from being the ideal, or even the "normal" way of drawing backdrops.
I am NOT the best tutor for programming. I've been coding far too long without getting rid of my bad bad habits, and have been working towards "many games, quickly" tech...

Let's code a really simple Tennis/Ping Pong game, shall we?

Last night I sat and wrote a vague tutorial'ish thing for SmileBASIC.
I took the idea of what I did with the Banana Dodging thing, and tried to make an entire game of Pong/Tennis within the space of a single screenshot-able screen of text.

You can find it in the Nintendo Switch eShop, (once your country's timezone hits the sweet spot!) and begin your creation adventure.

A quick "game" tutorial type thing for a silly little game, created using PetitCom/SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.
If you've grabbed a copy from the Japanese eShop, you should be able to follow along, since the program itself now includes a complete English translation.
I'll assume you're using the program with a USB Keyboard attached, but if not, most of the keyboard functionality can be accessed by hitting the [-] button on your controller.
