Re: Decoding BASIC listing

CD = cursor down
CL = cursor left
CR = cursor right
HM = home
SC = screen clear

This would be my interpretation anyways.

Re: all I want for Christmas is gamebase 20 v3

Maybe you could slip him a $20. I'm sure it's very time consuming to check all those files. :lol:

Re: TUNNEL game in Basic for VIC=20 available freedownload

I guess no one has really tried this game yet, but it seems a couple of errors exist. At the title screen, the joystick button does not start the program, only the spacebar. Also, when you advance to level 2, at the very start, the high score is alined under score in "HI-SCORE". As soon as...

A commodore 64 conversion

Hello everyone. I have been working briefly on converting a game from the commodore 64 to the vic 20.

My mistake. Not a buffer, but the memory area 664-767. I'm glad you said something about $ddcd not working in an interrupt. I've been looking at about 50 bytes of code for the past 2 days wondering why it has been crashing on me. I'm using it right now just to get the rest of the program working. Wh...

Yeah, that was my first choice. If I can make it small enough, maybe the rs-232 buffer. I've been thinking of other things that might be interesting to implement as well. Having a running total of free memory will be nice, but I'm thinking about being able to toggle variable, array and string space ...

Checking Free RAM in ML

Was wondering if their is a way to check free RAM in machine language. Was wanting to try writing a program similar to Mike's clock program that would show a running total of memory in the bottom 6 screen locations under the border as you were entering it into memory. Maybe even the line you are typ...

Actually ran from CBM prg studio after an import. Just happened to me one time. I ran it a few times before and after that incident with no problems. I may have hit run/stop and then ran it again. Just wondering if it may have been a stack overflow that did it. Other than that, I find the game to be...

tapDancer virtual datasette

Looking for apps on my android, I ran across tapDancer. Was wondering if anyone has seen this or used it. I'm on my phone right now and have no idea how to link it. I found it in the app store when I searched"vic 20". Looks promising.

I guess i should say **SPOILER** first, or cheat or undocumented feature. While hunting, when you hit a key to begin, all you have to do is type bang right after that and when the computer responds with "type bang" hit return, you get a kill every time. I know this is the Vic just acting n...
