Hi,

What is the most common ram size used by VIC owners? I am again coding something, and although I would like to have the max ram possible I know I should go for the ram size that most people have in their ViCs.

My sprite engine is eating at the moment 5426 bytes(just data).

Thanks

Thank you so much Boray,

I think I will have to ditch the project then, I would need 28x 24 for it...

I have a project where I need 28 chars in a line, I think this is the max allowed by the VIC hardware. But I need to know if all these chars are visible on a TV or those at the edges will be cut off.

Thanks

I will give this a go, it might help me learn Italian in a enjoyable way.

Lovely! Thank you!

What the heck!

I am also writing a tutorial via a game cartridge ... does this format appeal to anyone? I can write quite a bit more short snippets like this to demo how the registers work with the effect next to it. It may inspire another retro-programmer out there, you never know. :wink: Amazing stuff!! Thank y...

I still need to code [..] the Joystick part I suppose you already found out how to read the joystick itself? As part of the somewhat bizarre Great Program Collage , I made a little routine in 24 bytes that reads all directions of a joystick and packs it into one byte. I don't know if it would be he...

Thank you for the support .

I had no time yesterday to do more... Here is a screen-shot of the c64 picross game I am working on, it is more advanced than the vic's version. http://www.mundoimg.com/imagenes/capturas/209509_mundoimg_sanmes_ilog.png There is a short video of it too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tqbgIOKa10

Thx Mike, I will try to move the mem about and have a continuous block for the game code. I have now the program running using the interrupts, and the clock is working. The worse bit now is to make the rest fit the tiny amount of memory. I want to have a fair number of levels. I think I will need to...

Thank you Mike, I didn't realize it was that complicated to use the timers, I mean knowing the execution time of my code etc. I think I must go with the IRQ. The problem is that I need to have those two tables 256 bytes each and they can't seat where they are (ie $200 -> $3FF) if I use the Interrupt...

Thank you Mike, I will study what you have said. I have the clock code already as I coded it for my C64 picross game, it is IRQ driven. I was asking because I was thinking of not using IRQ as I wanted ZP free and I have never used timers before. The new mem map: Memory Map ---------- *$0200-$02ff ma...
