Re: Not quite... The end of the ROM based PLA for the 64

Maybe watch this from Adrian's Digital Basement.

29 minutes of in-depth analysis of how to make a pretty darn good (and cheap) replacement pla that works with most revision boards AND with the Super Zaxxon cartridge.

It's worth a look.

If you look at the original post, it looks like he already has the game with correct graphics.

Re: VIC-20 custom characters as standalone program?

These are the custom characters in the file:-
Chars.jpg
I just used the vice monitor to load the file @ $1c00 and then poke36869,255 to show the custom chars. :)

Edit: Beamrider beat me to it as I was readying my post. Foiled again!

Re: Unpublished games from Italian VIC users, circa 1982-83?

The last char inside mid$ first parameter seems a "9" (and not a "@") to me. I think you are right. This is the value of the last tone when you get caught by a ghost and it does sound better. I don't know what happened to line 230. When I first run the program it wouldn't stop p...

Re: Unpublished games from Italian VIC users, circa 1982-83?

I typed pic-man in from scratch and it seems to work ok. I did have to make a change to line 230 where the FOR - NEXT loop includes a HEX number (1E20) and swapped it for the decimal 7712. I also changed line 20140 so that the main program would load from disk (,8). If you find anything that doesn't...

Re: Snake

Thanks for the programming tips.

The DEFFN() command has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Maybe I'll take a closer look at it now. :)

Re: HI-LO Number Challenge

The program consists of a BASIC stub, machine code routines, some custom characters and the main BASIC program that starts at $2000 (8192). You can see the m/c in the code window below (please don't laugh). The BASIC parts of the program are 'TOP SECRET'. :wink: * = $188a playerlo = 1 playerhi = 2 c...

Re: HI-LO Number Challenge

v1.2
Added joystick control and fixed a minor bug. :)

You now have to clear the cell to make a change. This prevents overwriting the cell accidentally.
