All of my apps have their own individual section with a
description of the app, screenshots, downloads for
source (if available) and binaries. The list at
the top of this page is designed to make it easier to
download the apps without having to scroll down to each
individual app's section on this page. There is a
link to the original AtariAge thread for each app (when
applicable) if you'd like to download earlier releases
or read more about the app.

bBEditor is a freeware Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for batari Basic.
I stopped development on this
application years ago, and with
the release of Jeff Wierer's
excellent
Visual Batari Basic, there's
not really much need for me to
update this any more. I'm
keeping it here because I still
like using my own animation
editor.
Feature List:
A Sprite Animation tool Multisprite Kernel Playfield Editor Standard Kernel Playfield Editor Colored Editing - Changes specific keywords to a
different color for ease of editing. Line Numbering - in Binary, decimal, octal or hex. Compile your code to binary from within the application
(new in v1.1) Launch your compiled code in an emulator from within the
applcation. Undo/Redo Feature Multiple document, tabbed interface for document
windows.
Requirements:
Compatible with Windows 9x/NT/XP (untested on Vista, 7
or 8)
Required Support Software:
In order for bBEditor to be useful, you'll need the
following tools.
The latest version of
Batari Basic.
An Atari2600 Emulator, like
Stella.

Create your own adventure is a
Windows application that I wrote
in 2004 that lets you visually
change and hack every aspect of
the Atari2600 game 'Adventure'.
It was written with Visual Basic
6.0 and the source is available
for download.
You can
visit the original AtariAge
thread that describes all of
the features and what I did
during development, however I
will try to list what I can
remember here:
-
Your current modifications
can be saved and loaded for
working on at a later time.
-
Every room in the game world
can be modified, and there
is a guide map that explains
room connections to assist.
-
Every sprite in the game
world can be modified.
-
A help screen is available
with instructions and
troubleshooting tips.
-
Colors can be changed for
everything in the game,
rooms, sprites, rooms can
even be made invisible.
-
It includes the text of the
original Adventure
Instruction Manual, some
history on the game, and
shows pictures of the
original game cartridge and
box.
-
Item locations can be
changed (room location and
position on the screen).

I
was looking over the source to
Activision's Freeway game one
day and saw how easy it was to
change the speed and traffic
patterns of the cars. In
an "aha!" moment I thought it
would be cool to write an app
that generates random freeway
source code, changing up the
speed and traffic patterns of
the cars every time. So
that's it, that's what it does,
that's all. It will
generate a source file that can
be compiled with
DASM 2.12.
Freeway Randomizer (zip) (exe) |
|
Creates Freeway source code that
randomly changes the traffic patterns of the cars, the number
of cars per lane, and how fast they move. |

This is not an Atari related
application, but I wanted to
share it regardless. One
of my sons has autism, and he
always turns the volume on the
PC up to a level that could hurt
his ears. Because
Microsoft does not offer a built
in way to limit the volume on
Windows 7 I wrote my own
application to solve the
problem.
You can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/volumelimiter/
Here is the description from my
sourceforge project page:
Volume Limiter is a small
application that allows you to
set a maximum volume limit on
your windows PC. This is
designed to protect children
from turning the volume up to a
level that would damage their
hearing.
The application can be password
protected to prevent children
from changing your defined
limit. The application runs in
the background and minimizes to
the system tray. Volume
settings, the lock or unlocked
status, and password information
are stored in the windows
registry. If the application is
set to start up upon login (by
placing it in the startup group)
it will load the previous
settings.
This application is compatible
with Windows Vista, 7 and 8 and
will run on 32 bit or 64 bit
systems.
