Hi

 A bit of nostalgia from the atari 2600 days.
I dont remember the name that atari had for a game similar to this so
I just called Arcade!

I Wrote this many years ago in Quick basic but recently updated it  to use
some QB64 commands to make it run more smoothly and not flicker
on the screen.

It has a few sounds resembling the old atari sounds. at least close! LOL

Code:

I like they way you use mus1$="MBabcdefg"   
and then just,   
        PLAY music$
        PLAY mus2$
        PLAY mus$
        PLAY mus3$
I have never seen it done this way,...but they way the game runs and sounds, looks like a good way to do it.

    This is a good way to have lots different tunes available. Imagine you created all the tunes and saved them as data statements. Then at program start you create a string dim and load them . Then you call them when needed by the index number.


 Would this also work in a game like the pacman game we are working on ?....Guess I can try, too..

Ok, mostly just wondered if it would work,
Quote
The sounds would be much better in the new format.
So that is what it sounds like ,you are saying, it could work, but the new format is better,...I agree, as PLAY, SOUND,
seems to slow things down or interrupt the flow,...or even stop the program.
 I guess some of that depends on what sort of game too, as in his arcade it seems to work well...Also the midi can be more like music, or even a voice,..if one wants. from Garry

 I removed a "example" some one posted, the code did not work,..

- Dustys original code works fine, it is a pretty neat game.
