FALLING BALLS (10liner) IS OUT!

FALLING BALLS (10 liner) is a  game written in ugBASIC and that runs on various 8-bit home computers like ATARI 400/800/XL/XE, AMSTRAD CPC 664 and TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER 1/2.

This game is a arcade game for one player. The aim of the game is to get the ball 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 you accumulate. It is a self-competiting game. This game is designed for one player.

This game joins the "BASIC10Liner" competition 2024 : the game itself is modest in size, and the given source code respects strong constraints on the length of each line (category: EXTREME-256) and it does not rely on third party libraries. 

This cross-platform game would not have been possible without using ugBASIC : it is an isomorphic language and it has cross compilers that works on Linux and Windows, that directly converts high level algorithms into the assembly equivalent for the given CPU / computer.
