I have been developing a game in assembler. It works perfectly (as far as I have programmed so far) on my emulator. It works pretty well on the regular Vic but every once in a while some characters on the far right hand side of the display will appear in random places on the screen. I am using 23 co...

The Author was Mark Vittek. It appeared in Compute!'s First Book of Vic Games.

Nice work, Jeff.

The most amazing thing is the SPEED that you created this. I guess you have some experience with basic...

It makes me want to revisit some coding in basic. I have been developing an game in assembly and that has been a blast.

Congrats.

Grand Prix Foo was completed.

I ordered a copy of Tricks for Vics.... I think I may try it.

A thread I was recently communicating mentioned a book called "Tricks for Vics." I had not heard of it but quickly found a copy. Has anyone come across (or started) a complete list of Vic-20 books? I am really interested in doing a complete collection. (This may be insane but I love those ...

I seem to remember reading that an additional joystick could be added to the user port. Anyone else heard of such a thing? Through an RS232 connection?


Jonathan

Yep... I have the uIEC card and connection as well.

I have my 1541-II connected to the PC with an XM1541 (I think that is the piece) but I am wanting to hook my Vic directly to the PC and use the PC hard drive.

Perhaps this needs to be fleshed out a bit more for me.

Using a VIC-1011A (RS232C) card is there a way to connect the VIC-20 to a PC in order to use the hard drive for storage?

I have to believe this has been attempted by someone on the forum. What additional hardware/software would be needed?

Jonathan

Many thank, Orion. I will do Grand Prix Foo next.

What is the protocol for quoting? Not sure why it isn't nice to quote one's self.

Damn. I already typed in jumping jack before reading your post.

I just realized I used the wrong terminology. I am looking for information on the "Basic ROM" and I called it Kernel.... Oh the joys of a newbie...

I found a great ML routine, in the forum, for generating 'random' numbers in ML. It is completely fine for the game I am making. My question arises when looking at the kernel addresses. JSR $E0BB ; RND(1) JSR $DC0C ; FAC to AFAC LDY #7 JSR $D3A2 ; Load FAC with .Y JSR $DA30 ; Multiply FAC with AFAC ...

Thanks Orion. I will start at the back of the book and start entering a game.
