[Game] PSXPONG - A small pong to test PSY-Q stuff

YouTube · Post by **New Nova** » November 2nd, 2021, 12:57 am

Hello right there !
It's been a crazy long time since I came here.
I started PSX developement a while, and I have finally been able to burn on a disc source code and the game !
I'm working on this kind of desktop :

- Windows 98SE
- AMD CPU 1GHz (don't know the cpu lol)
- 1GB of RAM
- the PSY-Q SDK
- Programmer's Notepad (for coding)
- PS1 SCPH-1002 with XplorerFX flashed with caetla and printer cable directly connected to the computer

You have here attached 2 zip files :

- PSXPONG_GAME : this is the game that can be burned into a CD-R and played on PS1 (need modchip tho)
- PSXPONG_SOURCE : this is all source files, batch compiler and runner for ya.

Game made with Orion's Library, making the game way easier to make.
Do whatever you want with it !

Very nice for a first effort! Possibly a few monochrome rectangles (instead of variable-sized, texture-blending sprites) could had already done the job given the simplicity of this project, but it's definitely a good start.

Eagerly waiting to see new projects from you!

Thanks !
I used sprites to practice how to use them, so might be overkill but make me learn the good stuff.
For now I don't have much time to work on ps1 dev, but I'll post anything new

I recommend using Lameguys SDK over Orions. Lameguys is Psy-Q compatible and the documentation is complete. It's also the most maintained and up-to-date SDK.

For now I'm more in a "learning" stage, and I don't take PS1 dev really seriously.
Also, Orion's SDK (I would say shortcuts) are Psy-Q compatible, since I did it with Psy-Q I guess.
