Nice little puzzle game, very playable concept! You have managed to work well with the limits set by BASIC and keep a responsive user experience. -edit- How do you make sure that each level is solvable? Are the levels hard-coded and tested to make sure? I was thinking if it would be possible to auto...

Nice find! I've never heard of these Acorn Atoms before, but at least the design looks rather fresh for a 1980/81? computer!

Now it works for me as well, looking great!

Kweepa: No idea on what might be causing the bug I posted about before? Seems like it is some kind of dynamic keymappign that goes wrong...

Won't work at all for me (tried it on two different computers). It seems to have some kind of problems with Swedish keyboards: Starting CPU Status: initializing URL: jar:http://www.kweepa.com/step/vic20/javic006.jar!/roms/kernal Read ROM /roms/kernal Installing rom at :e000 size:8192 URL: jar:http:/...

Just read up a bit about the Enterprise. Seems like a cool machine indeed, however, if only 80.000 were ever manufactured, I guess it is rather uncommon and expensive to get!

A Java applet runs in sandbox mode, so it is not allowed to read files from your local file system.
To support user-upload, you would have to have a site with PHP/ASP/CF or something that accepts file uploads from the user, then use those files from the Java applet.

I don't pay much attention to those few negative comments on Pouet - the overwhelming majority seems to have liked the demo (and it also actually won the compo at Sundown!). To be honest, the extra memory did help me quite a bit for many of the graphic effects, as it allowed me to use a double-buffe...

Thank you all for your comments! gklinger - Here's some backstory on the demo: I got my first VIC-20 about a month ago, found a memory map online somewhere (I think it was from the programmers reference guide) and started messing around! The whole demo was crossdeveloped on PC using Kick Assembler (...

nbla000: Well for me at least, game coding (I have done my fair share of that as well!) includes much more boring parts than demo-coding. With demos I can concentrate on the stuff I find most fun - cool graphical effects! When doing a game, having the cool graphical stuff in place means you're only ...

I have now released my first VIC-20 demo called 'Ancient School'. 16kb expansion required! http://sdw.webhop.net/gfx/ancient.png Download here: http://sdw.webhop.net/prods.html?prodid=51 Some classic 'old school' demo stuff. Technical details: * 512 dots per frame plotter, running in a double-buffer...

Yeah, I found this in a VIC documentation: ... B: screen origin X (4 pixels granularity) 6560-101: at 22 chars/line, the suitable range is 1 to 8 With 22 chars/line, the value 8 will show only 5 pixels of the rightmost column 6561-101: at 22 chars/line, the suitable range is 5 to 19 With 22 chars/li...

I am trying to scroll my screen in from right to left. The screen is 20 characters wide, so $9002 = $80+20. I then set horizontal centering ($9000) to $3e to move the screen completely offscreen to the right. Then I decrease it once per frame until it reaches $10, which is the centered position. I t...

Good point Mike! By moving the BASIC and screen ram to the original places, the extra memory shouldn't disturb an unexpanded program.
