Re: New Denial Collection: 5 BASIC 5 line games

Impressive :)

I never did learn the algorithm to beat Lights Out. I used to beat Magic Square on the old handheld Merlin electronic game, though. Does that count? :)

Re: Realms of Quest VI progress thread (currently in early planning stages, or I wish I had more free time)

For my part, I loved the solid systems and mechanics in ROQV, but ultimately I set it aside because the themes and creatures were too dark for my tastes :cry:

I guess I just like my RPGs a bit more cartoony and light-hearted. Dungeonmans is pretty good in this regard.

Re: WIP: Siege

Maybe it could actually be some sort of mini game: a skill based game like Archon? Or a chance based game like a roulette wheel? Or would luck kill the fun? Maybe it should stay static like chess. What do you think? Maybe you have a finite amount of currency to ration over the game and spending som...

Mindbusters from Compute! magazine was similar in that you were trying to match a predefined pattern. But yeah, the weaving mechanism is a new one on me. Both a clever puzzle and an appealing presentation.

Re: Realms Of Quest V - tell your progress in-game!

Real simple here tell me who on this forum is Playing Realms Of Quest V and how Far are you in the game? I was really hot on this game when it first came out, but I found the insta-kill squares in the dungeon so annoying that I haven't picked it up in a while. :| Yeah, there's a spell that helps, b...

Re: TRSE: What am I doing wrong with keypressed?

That works. With the caveat that all keys pressed, up to, and including the space, are printed upon exit, below the READY prompt. Not a big deal for a throwaway test program like this.

Is getkey() documented somewhere and I'm just blind?

TRSE: What am I doing wrong with keypressed?

I'm brand new to TRSE. I want to fill the screen with garbage, until space is pressed, which should exit the program. What actually happens is that the program only performs a single trip through the while loop then exits immediately. program MyProgram; var i: integer; c: byte = 65; k: byte = 0; beg...
