Your game is looking great!

Looking forward the release after your vacation period

Have a nice holiday!

I also hope he's ok... BTW ibisum, how did the proto boards work? Do you know if the files in our svn server correspond to that proto board? If they work, then we can always find someone to build them, despite the price, or even ask somebody to try to put both CumulusBUS and Cumulus in a single boar...

Thanks

If anybody plays on a real Atmos and tries to use the pregenerated fast loading wav file, please let me know if it worked or not.

What am I seeing here?

Is that a (future) replacement for the microdisk drive? Can't believe my eyes...

Could you give us some details, please?

Well, I suppose they both share the rights somehow. When I was about to release the game (months ago) Dbug told me about the iOS version from Elite systems and, after some websearch, we found out (I think Dbug found out, to be precise) that Alternative Software seemed to have the rights. I sent them...

Well, after some delays the Oric version of Skool Daze is finally available! Due to the restrictions imposed by Alternative Software, we cannot offer a direct link. You will only be able to download it from oric.org ( http://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=detail&num_log=2215 ), w...

IIRC some people asked a couple of manufacturing companies and, though producing it seems feasible (I think all the components can be found quite easily, being the LCD display the most difficult one), it was quite expensive (can't remember how much, but in the range of the 200 USD?). The culprit was...

/me turns green of envy

I think Slicebit is a member (rings a bell), so he might help.

Now that I think about it I should register too... I am spanish and it is a retro forum where they speak about the Oric!

I think this was commercial. I mean they worked for software houses that wanted to keep their stocks small, but that does not mean they won't need inlays and nice boxes...

They just had to store inlays and boxes

Cheers

One sec... I paint the background tiles then copy the background buffer to the second buffer and then paint the sprites and finally I copy this second buffer to the screen. Why these two backbuffers? This will reduce your framerate dramatically... Is it to avoid redrawing the background tiles? (so a...

Hi Algarbi. Clearing and dumping the buffer with the above routines is slow, but you should get something like 12 fps easily. You may want to check this alone (without drawing background or sprites) and see there is no problem here. Then you may want to add the drawing of the background. This could ...

Would something like this: 4 S = INT (1+RND(PEEK(866))*1000) solve the problem? Well it would need a try. Not having also a seconds counter is a problem (you'll get the same value during a whole minute), but I'd do something like: 1 RND(-PEEK(866)) Which should reset the seed to a "position&qu...

Confirmed here, Dbug. It seems the images folder must exist (though the roms folder in the parent directory shared with Euphoric works). I get this error: Unable to open 'roms\jasmin.rom' Unable to open 'images\statusbar.bmp' Not sure why it complains about the jasmin.rom file being missing, because...

Well Oricutron failed with two errors: not finding the ROM folder and not finding the IMAGES (the directory was empty). And I first tried with Skool Daze, so it is not related to a disk configuration.

If I have time I will make further testing trying to isolate the issue.

Cheers.
