A few months ago Scott Dayton posted in the Atari 2600 Homebrew group looking for someone to make a game based off the Red Light Green Light game in Squid Game. At the time I wished I could work on it as I had some ideas but I had a lot of projects going on and then became sick and then more recently had to deal with two hurricanes and now the holidays. While on vacation I finally had an opportunity to decompress and play around with this game.
My thoughts were to make either one or two player game. The timer runs down while you either control both red squares or each player controls one. When the giant robot turns its head you must move to cross the line. I plan on having all the other green squares move and create obstacles for you to move around to get to the finish line.
This is a test program working out some details. I will try to randomize the robot or make it operate on a pattern. I am also considering working out the score and may have it just tally each time you cross before the timer runs out. If you die it respawns you at the beginning. It would also be cool to try and implement AtariVox code to make it speak but that is beyond me at this point.
