this was cool! ...atleast while it still worked. for whatever reason it froze every time i loaded my rom after I accidentally put a really large number in the multiplication operand... and now the page doesn't even load correctly.
Hello! I tried to reproduce the problem by multiplying by a large number, and, while it did produce a compilation error, but it didn't come to the point of crashing.
Does some error message appear when you try to load the page?
Very cool! Always wanted to make Atari 2600 games, but didn't wanted to mess with either batari Basic, assembler... or, god save, Basic Programming cartridge.
Probably gonna make something with it. What about desktop version (standalone version/executable)?

Thanks! I'll try to reproduce it later.

Hey,
Yes, specifically, the error is "Error while generating bBasic code: TypeError: t is null." It's certainly vague (atleast to me) but I hope it helps!
Quick update, just checked right now and the page's working for me again. Hopefully the issue wont return, but if it does, I'll let you know.
Okay, thanks!

Thanks! An Electron-based desktop version may be implemented eventually.

I have 2 games in planning, if you manage to add the audio section and the sprites that I told you about, I will launch the games in your game engine.
Hey, can you add a sprite controller, so the images of the players can be chosen? That would be very useful
Thanks; I kinda forgot about that. https://github.com/haroldo-ok/vcs-game-maker/issues/55
I just made my first game using this! So cool! I really appreciate your efforts in making this possible!!!
You're welcome; glad to know the tool has been useful! 😄
Nice! Thanks for sharing with the jam!
