Nintendo Switch lite - SmileBASIC 4 - CUBE SHOOTER gameplay

Nintendo Switch (Grey)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I decided to mod the SmileBASIC 4 tutorial code again and add in whatever I have tested and learned. I also kinda like the whole game designed. I used the letter X as the ship and the box as the enemy(cube).

I like watching the whole circles and boxes moving at the start of the game. It's like an intro to the game. It looks like some kind of moving art. I can actually add in color or other stuff but for now, prefer the simple white lines.

I also got the idea of letting the player input their name before the start of the game. And, doing a fake ship system check. I actually forgot how to do it at first as I haven't been practicing the code. Which, I actually learned from Python.

The ability to tried out and practice what I've learned in python with SmileBASIC 4 is part of the reason why I like smilebasic so much. Although, my knowledge is not good enough to transfer some python games code to smilebasic.

If you have smilebasic 4, you can actually already download many games and even fun software like the music keyboard, drum pad machine, and even emulators. Not the game emulators but old computers. I don't think Nintendo likes the idea of game emulators on their system.

If you already have a coding technical background, there are many projects you can do or even teach. All software that you created and shared on the server can be downloaded and used by everyone. They can even mod it. It's supposed to be free for people to look at the code and learned from it.

The important this is that, once you have created or mod the code, you can play it on your Nintendo Switch or Switch lite. And, since it's a portable console, you can code while on the go and play it on the go too. I actually mode the Cube Shooter game while slouching on my chair.

I thought of setting my Switch lite with a physical keyboard but too lazy. Anyway, I just have to add or change a few things here and there. Nothing complicated. It's kinda fun and cool being able to do that when you just feel like it.

Of course, I already got the ideas in my head for a while. Some of it didn't work out like trying to add my own art. I don't know how or where to save and use it. But, you make do with what you have. One thing for sure, I definitely learn some more new stuff during this process too.

One to the next project, whatever that is. You can download my game once I have the publish key. I'll update it in this article later on. Also, you can buy and download SmileBASICE 4 here on the eShop.
Great learning tools for kids and adults alike!

Nintendo Switch lite SmileBASIC 4 NOTOHOHO SHOOTER GAMEPLAY

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been playing with SmileBASIC 4 (website), a coding program for a while now on my Nintendo Switch lite. I decided to mod the tutorial code for a shooter game and change the sprites, music, screen background color, and even the text.

Modding a game will also help you in learning how to code your own game. You learn which code controls the buttons, directional pad, and analog stick. It's really fun when you run the game and see it all works. Pretty cool!

If you didn't know @notohoho is the Twitter handle for the CEO of SmileBoom (website). He's the professor sprite I'm using in replace of the spaceship. And, the enemy is the 'punk' in the smilebasic tutorial. I thought it would be funny if I used them as the sprites in my mod shooter game.

There are a lot of different kinds of music, sound effects, sprites that are already available for use. Of course, you can also create your own. If you've been playing games (I know people that don't), you'll have many ideas that you want to try and that's where the fun is.

If you didn't know, SmileBASIC is almost similar to BASIC(Wikipedia) and Python. Hence, the name smilebasic. So, if you're a Python expert, this would be easy. If not, you can also learn Python and test it out on the Switch with Smilebasic. 

The similarity is one of the reasons why I like smilebasic. When I learn some python code, I'll try it out on smilebasic and it'll work. The code is a bit different but it's not that much. You'll be able to work it out. Like the 'FOR' or 'WHILE' which you will always be using.



Python Programming for Beginners : The Ultimate Guide for Beginners to Learn Python Programming: Crash Course on Python Programming for Beginners (Python Programming Books Book 1)

The best part is that the Nintendo Switch especially the switch lite is a portable gaming console. You can practice or code your own game in a jiffy. Anytime and anywhere without needing a computer or a laptop. Heck, you can code and play simple short games within half an hour.

That's how cool smilebasic and Nintendo Switch are. Although, with the switch lite, you can't dock it and link it to a monitor or a Tv. The Nintendo Switch will make it easier to use a keyboard and mouse if you're serious about creating and coding more complex games.

I didn't actually think, I would enjoy playing the games that I had mod from the tutorial as I was afraid it won't feel like a 'real' game. But, I actually was having fun. The more I play, the more ideas that came to my mind. And, I found out some new things I can do or add.

I'm trying to push the idea that the Nintendo Switch is not just a gaming console. But, it can also be an educational system. SmileBasic 4 and Fuze 4, another game programming software is a great example. This will be good especially for students.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit -Mario Set - Nintendo Switch Mario Set Edition

The Nintendo Switch is already powerful enough, but I hope, Nintendo will improve more on it. Especially the storage, graphics, and battery. I'm glad they thought of the Marko Kart Live. The ability to control a smart car instead of the Labo. 

Wouldn't it be cool if there's also a Mario Drone or Mario Robot that you can learn to control with coding? Just like with a Raspberry pi robot. The possibility is endless!

*UPDATE: NOTOHOHO SHOOTER SmileBASIC 4 server published KEY = 4QAS3R3X3 - I didn't know where to save it so it's just named as Workspace. I'm not sure how to rename it. But if you click on it it'll show the game title, NOTOHOHO SHOOTER. Pls, like it if you enjoyed playing. Download and enjoy!

Nintendo Switch lite Smile BASIC 4 Center Your Text And Background Image

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been trying to figure out how to center my text in the middle of the screen and also putting a background image. For the life of me, I thought it would be pretty simple. Well, actually it is if you know how to code. So, I decided to try my luck and send a twitter message to SmileBoom CEO via his twitter account @notohoho.

I didn't really think he would actually reply. It is a newbie question after all. But, he did and say he'll help me. To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure if the CEO himself replies to me. He could have easily asked his worker or students to help me. Either way, it's like attending one of his coding classes.

Of course, this is good info. That's why I'm sharing these tips right from the horse's mouth. So, I'm posting his explanation and also include the sample code. If you're interested, take out your Nintendo Switch/lite and follow the code. It works for me.

Right here, you can copy the code for centering your text in the middle of your Nintendo Switch/lite screen. Change the 'TEXT' to anything you want to post or print on the screen. Every time, I learn a new code, I'll play around with it. You can do the same, like changing text color or making it blink!

The code for a background image. You can choose any CHR$(&HE8C3) by using the F9 Key or on the on-screen keyboard. I was lazy to set up my keyboard so, I just use the on-screen keyboard to type out the code. That's why I like smilebasic 4. The ability to just play with code anytime and anywhere! 

After I tried out the image background code, I send @notohoho the image above. Finally, I can set up my own in-game backgrounds. I already followed his tutorial on the jumping king game. But, I changed the image to a princess and put this background.

I'm a little lost on these codes though. Haven't tried it yet. I told him, this isn't exactly what I meant about the background image. Anyway, the important thing for me is that I finally know how to center the text and also set up my own background image.

You can get SmileBASIC 4 on their main website or on Nintendo eShop. While you're at the eShop, look up Fuze 4 too. It's almost the same as SmileBASIC 4. But, for some reason, I like playing with the latter more. You can download Fuze 4 on the eShop via this link.

What I like about SmileBASIC 4 and Fuze 4 is that they're almost the same as Python (Official website). A bit different here and there but pretty minor. You can quickly figure out the difference after playing with it for a while. That's why I'm thinking, those who already know Python (Amazon link) can easily create their own game fast!

I'm really loving my Nintendo Switch lite. I got my first Nintendo Switch for gaming but after discovering SmileBASIC 4, I love it even more. It's a great portable gaming device and now I can learn coding on the go and even create my own games to play on it. How much cooler can it get?

Well, I hope you guys find this SmileBASIC 4 text and image code useful. It certainly is for me. Tq to @notohoho-san. By the way, yesterday I found this site on learning Quite Basic. You don't have to download anything. It's an online simulator. The link is not secure but it's safe to visit.
