Computes Gazette published a program called 'Crunch' for the Vic 20 and C64. It would (on the vic) crunch all basic lines to 255 bytes within the limits of the program you were crunching. The C64 version was a little bit more controlable. It was very useful for sqeezing a few more bytes out of a bas...

There is an emulator for newer PC's called DOSBOX. I have used it in Windows ME (which also has no real DOS mode) to play some DOS games. I'm not sure if works in Windows XP. Also, I'm not sure if it utilizes the printer port, but it's worth a try.

later,

It can also be used for redefined characters.

When I sit down to program in Vice, I use the calculator program in Windows in scientific mode. It converts numbers from and to :dec hex oct and bin.

I was wondering where to find instuction scans for titles like: Basic v4 Basic v5 Hires Toolkit Programmers Aid Cart ExBasic L2 Handy Toolkit PET Loader Synthesound Turtle Graphics Turtle Graphics 2 VC Extra Vic Forth These are all ROM images from funet.fi before they were removed. It'd be nice to h...

I was breaking down some of the locations in the Vic chip and came up with these: POKE 36864 , HC - ( IN = 0 ) * 128 HC = Horizonal Center ( 0 - 127 ) IN = Interlace Mode ( 0 = Off / 1 = On ) POKE 36865 , VC VC = Vertical Center ( 0 - 255 ) POKE 36878 , AX * 16 + V AX = Aux Color ( 0 - 15 ) V = Volu...

OK, so chick on the link above and go to my games page.


Should I go up and delete all the previous download links as well?

I'm guessing this is some rule Tripod has. I didn't really read the fine print very well.

Must be a Windows ME thing. It opens fine with WinZip.

Here's a new version with sound effects and music. All above mentioned problems have been corrected.

hope you like it.

OK, here it is. Another great update to Diamond Hunt. I have added some sounds and music to it for a real kick(just so you know, I AM NOT A COMPOSER). http://robmurphysc.tripod.com/Games/DiamondHunt1.18.zip NOTE: I use VICE for all my programming and testing. For some reason you can't get the progra...

Thanks guys, for checking my program out. It's still a work in progress. I changed the leveling a little. Mike I tried some of what you said and restructured the code a bit to keep those monsters from overlapping. I see what you mean though about running all six monsters at the same time even though...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check the links out again. It's my first time.

And yes its:

Here's a new program for those of you intrested. It's written in basic and compiled with Astro-Compiler(game source included). The game still has a few monor bugs. Maybe someone can help me keep the monsters from overlapping. Diamond Hunt requires 16k memory because of the compiler. So, let me know ...
