This is weird... how is an FPS going to run on the Atari?

Guessing the graphics will be like

___
/ \
\__/

For entering a wall or something.

Sure. I just need to know the hight and width of everything.

Oh, can I have a color chart, I imagine that everything you would use would be blue or purple.

I honostly don't think this is possible on a limited system such as the Atari 2600.

Well, color wise, Master Chief = THIS Grunt face = [darkblue]THIS[/color] Grunt body = THIS Whole Elite = THIS Jackals = THIS Shield for Jackal = THIS and hunter = THIS I'll think of the rest in a little bit.

The face of the grunt is supposed to be THIS

I don't think you could have so many colors on the Atari at once. Maybe some illegal op-codes would work, like the Jackal shield would be all scrolly yellow-ish colors?

Forgot about the limited capabilities.

I guess they could all be an ugly green color, but possibly with a different colored stripe to indicate which one it is?

Still, I don't know.

Post a thread about your game here, with any questions

Three ideas:
Hack Space Invaders:

From top of screen to bottom:
BONUS - Covie Drop Ship
Hunters
Elites
Jackals
Grunts
Flood Guys
Flood Ballons

Thing you controll - Change to Master Chief

Hack Bezerk:
Change you to Master Chief
Change robots to whatever Halo bad unit.

Hack Battlezone:
change bad units to Halo units.

There's some ideas to speed up dev. process.
