Thanks mate! Arukanoido is already much better than anyone could ever have hoped for! So if this is the "final version", so be it. Here's hoping for better times. VIC-20 coding should be for fun :D That would really be a pity as it's all there and up and running, ready for development in ...

I've added directories "archive" and "arukanoido"; the latter containing your desired binaries. My brain refuses to work on this any longer. Eviction notices for my neighbours didn't change that. And they threw me back financially and every other way for a couple of months, so I ...

Desired changes have to come along in the form of Github pull requests.

Should you care about premature source code, it's to be found here: https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/ing ... x/main.asm

It even has a vanity comment at the top. I'm secretly expecting this one day:

It is what it is: https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/arukanoido Does a full release build with all levels and bugs included. See 'download-and-install.sh' to get it up and running on whatever Linux. Please use one of those great online resources to resolve questions on Linux. "In The Making&qu...

Talking UltiMem: For the latest revision of INGLE there's a new kernel design. cc65's code generation unfortunately does not allow to use C as a macro assembler without taking all the fun away. Macros to the rescue and the fun is back. Key ideas: No assembly syscall table . Device #31 handles its do...

Is there a master plan? What's to be achieved?

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I just wanted to ask if there's a decent, fairly straightforward, assembler any of you can recommend? I'm poking at ca65 but it's slow going and it seems to be one of those tools that can do everything and is perfect as long as you can read the developers' mind...

EDIT:
Something got confused doing the former uploads. So no promises about The Bug. It's damn late anyhow.

Yes. Everyone will be happy and I'll have forgotten about it three days later.
fixes +24K mode and has +3K disabled. AFAIR +24K was preferred by most?

Could knock off around another 500 cycles from the sprite routines per frame but that would practically make no perceivable difference. No, and you could possibly introduce more bugs - it's plenty smooth enough already. Leave that for your next game in 10 years time :) Phffrghpfunny. I'd rather wri...

nice, didn't notice the clash before but still plays smooth. Could knock off around another 500 cycles from the sprite routines per frame but that would practically make no perceivable difference. i don't much care for the flashing before a screen is shown. Even on a CRT it didn't look pleasing to ...

No mo Vaus/ball color clashes.

EDIT: small bug fixes

That is the maximum charset trouble. About 96 chars aren't even used.

I have to write it before I need an emergency dialysis: this game does not look like a piece of art.
