Falling Balls (Atari, Amstrad, CoCo) by spotlessmind1975

"FALLING BALLS (10 liner)" is a simple arcade game for one player. The player must drop balls into the baskets at the bottom of the screen, in the shortest possible path. The longer the ball travels across the screen, the fewer points he/she accumulates. 

 

This game runs on three different 8-bit home computers: ATARI 400/800/XL/XE, AMSTRAD CPC 664 and TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER 1/2.

I'd like to participate with this program in the 2024 edition of the Contest, in the category "EXTREME-256". This is the file where there is a proof that the game belongs to the above category:

Here I published "step-by-step" instructions on how to load, list and launch the program on the various emulators, and how to play it: https://github.com/spotlessmind1975/falling-balls-10liner/blob/main/docs/instruc... A detailed explanation of the source code is available here:
