Re: Items for sale

I'd be quite a bit happier to sell some of my Oric gear on DF than anywhere else.

Re: BASIC 10 Liner Competition - Oric Entry [2023]

Honestly this is astonishing news - 3 years in a row now, Oric is coming out on top - and while I do believe that RAX is a MASTER of our platform, I think that it is also very indicative that our little machines are pretty well optimized for such antics. I keep wondering how such delightful games as...

Re: oricOpenLibrary by [raxiss]

Very nice work, thanks so much for sharing! This is a cheeky bit of code: #define basic(str) {_basic_s=((char*)(str)),_basic();} Why the , instead of a ;? .. Does this instruct CC65 to place the retval from _basic() into basic_r? If so, int-er-esting .. EDIT: okay, I've read the rest of the library ...

Re: RETROVIV 2023 in Vienna, featuring MUCH Oric stuff

I suppose it is the "West place (old WU)"? Yes, indeed! Very easy walk from the Spittelau station, and indeed you look for the signs that point "WEST" once you get to the "old Wien University" (altes-WU) .. This Thursday is the 'official' bit, where we'll do some demo'...

Re: Free Petscii Robots for the Oric-1 / Atmos

Nice game, and also kind of extraordinary to see the Oric getting attention, a bit, from the retro hipster scene .. always seems to get a hit now and then, from those who realize its specialness ..

Re: Alternatives for Cumana Reborn?

I am in a similar boat, with a couple of Cumana Reborn's, a real Microdisc and some Cumana builds to maintain, but my general approach is that the Oric future lays in something like the ORICART [1] expanding to include (maybe) an onboard ESP32 with SD capabilities and maybe also serial over Wifi, or...

Re: Wurlde - Game Development Forum

SWIV(O-TYPE): Indeed, it is a big leap in what can be done - multi-layer graphics engine with scripting. The engine is there. The scripting is there. I think collision is 'mostly' done and maybe Twilightes' plans for audio are not yet realized.. but on the other hand there might be some bugs/todo's ...
