This is Dodge Racer, an entry of mine in a 10-line Basic coding contest for Atari 8-bit computers. (Turbo Basic XL) I completed it in just under 12 hours today--which is over an hour per line. This is it playing uncompiled, it plays a bit to fast when compiled, but I don't want to build in a delay unless the contest needs it.

Fire button starts, stick steers, and points are awarded every time a new obstacle is dropped. Expert players will find even more challenge on level 2.

Overall this is my second ever Atari Basic game, the first was just a couple days ago and also for this competition.

Here's a link to a thread about the contest--there are some incredible entries:
