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.

 batari Basic Editor
 
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
 
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).

 Freeway Randomizer
 
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.

 Volume Limiter
 
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.
