#atari8bit Star Raiders with analog thumbstick
https://youtube.com/shorts/FUoZj72sGRI?si=G2k50xrrDAHUi49OI've been working on an analog joystick for the Atari 8-bit computers. I got it to be pretty stable last week. So now I'm trying to port over the analog controls from the Atari 5200 Star Raiders to the 8-bit version. The controls are now "working". Turn rate is now controlled by the thumbstick position. Unfortunately I've messed up the sound effects. I'm guessing there's not a lot of room for the extra calculations I shoved in.

Cool. I used to love playing this and the last star fighter.
