Commodore Bag

I have included a Commodore duffle bag in my collection. I'm not sure how rare they are but it is in amazing shape. I'm sure I can use it to hold some 'Commodore things.'

Re: New release: 3 New Fonts for Your Vic

I've been thinking about VIC-20 fonts again and bumping a topic from 8 years ago is always fun. Here is a link to some interesting discussion of vintage PC fonts. https://damieng.com/blog/2011/02/20/typ ... stem-fonts

VIC-20 Carrying Case

I just procured one of these vintage Vic-20 cases. I am located in the US and have never seen one before so I jumped at the opportunity.

Are these a UK only item? How popular or readily accessible were they?

Re: Cavern Explorer

Did you ever come up with an algorithm to remember what the original character was and keep it around until the 'ORd' condition was finished?

Anyone else... Have you coded something similar that you want to share?

Re: Cavern Explorer

I have been conversing with David about some of the technical details and he suggested I bring a particular question to the group. The crux of the question was surrounding sprite movement shifts and how to clean up "dirty characters" after shifting 8 bits in any direction. I think David's ...
