Yesterday's downtime

Hi, sorry for the downtime yesterday. As you probably know this server is hosted at my own place, and it happens that yesterday around lunch time a construction worker managed to break the main fiber line used in my area. It took them until a bit after midnight before they managed to fix it. Apparen...

Re: Fast scrolling game howto, anyone?

Something doable is to use inverse video for the bonus, you could have them drawn in a 'box', your color scheme is cyan/black, which gives you white/red as possible colors for the bonus. You could even make them blink between inverted and non inverted :)

Re: OSDK : Virus in Bas2Tap.exe ????

Interestingly, if I try to download from the site I also get avast complaining. If I disable avast and download the archive, then re-enable avast and then right click the archive and select "scan for virus", it finds nothing. If I try to extract the archive with avast enabled it will compl...

Re: AlchimieGarden - Oric demo coded at Kindergarden

Thanks for sources too- just in the right moment for me. :) I'm working on preparation of an alternative OSDK based on CC65 toolchain. CC65 is still developed and supported. It's fully usable, but the problem is to support XA assembler syntax, so that all sources found here in the SVN can be compil...

Re: OSDK : Virus in Bas2Tap.exe ????

There's no virus as I know of, can you give me the exact link you are using to download the osdk? (just to reproduce exactly as you do)

So, this week end there was a multitude of demo parties, including the Kindergarden and Alchimie. mmu_man convinced me to try to present something at the Alchimie (remote entry), so I spent few hours on Saturday at the Kindergarden and managed to get a small something running, so there you go: https...

Re: The Return of Viking Chess (Hnefatafl)

QUESTION Anyway, in the loader...how can I call CLOAD from ASM? I mean I can do "jmp $e85b" (page 210 on the AUG) BUT it's unclear to me where/how you store the filename for it to load (e.g. VIKING.TAP) Until I've got the files stitched together in a single wav/tap I can't do CLOAD"&...

Re: OricSD

Additionally I have few questions: - Do all real Oric's have relay for tape control soldered? Because in Pravetz-8D it was never included. It's important to know - I have interesting idea how to use it. - If parallel port is used for fast transfer with SDCard, is it worth to add one more connector ...

Re: TAP/mulator

Great find! I did not know of either this cartridge or sd card tape players. One thing I don't understand is what the /GAMES part does in the CLOAD command in that video .. was that a normal part of Oric basic, and I've just learned something new, or is it an extension/hack? As far as I understand i...

Re: The Return of Viking Chess (Hnefatafl)

Generally speaking, you want to avoid copy loops :)
In this particular case you could just have used memcpy(screen,picture,8000) .

Glad that it worked :)

It isn't compressed...not sure how to do that...any tips?
Look into osdk_0_20\sample\c\compression_test, in particular what 'osdk_makedata.bat' is doing.
