Denial

According to my calculations the 2GB SD card I bought yesterday for 16$ can store over 12000 D64 images. However some of that will be lost for directories and slack space. I only have one question how do you get started with this thing. If I create a empty D64 in VICE and copy it into the root of th...

The graphics look great but I think you need to fix the redraw issue. When I played the game my cards were redrawn for every time the computer moved.

I score this game a one out of one.

You can go above the 6502's memory limit by Bank switching but then your game needs to be written to cope with that. If you really want to go silly you can have a co-processor with the ROM and RAM. There are some Nintendo titles that used this method to get 3D graphics on the SNES. http://en.wikiped...

I made a gameplay video of bluestar.

It is made with VICE and so it is not as good as I would have liked. Also it only displays a little area of the game.

If you run VICE from the command line you can access the system monitor and save the BASIC code to disk as a .prg file. HOWTO get BASIC programs out of VICE Type in your program or load it. In the VICE menu select the monitor type m 2b 2e This will print out the start and end address of the BASIC pr...

You can maybe create a Sticky thread for repairs like we already have for software releases. Then when someone posts a repair thread they can have a post in the sticky that summarises their thread and links to it. That way people can just read the summaries for what they want.

On some forums they have a section where threads that deny the rules can go. On the Ubuntu forums it is called recurring discussions. This way the discussions can still take place therefore letting off steam but it doesn't distract other users. Note this is not the same as a OT forum. BTW I feel too...

Hey that is pretty Awesome for a BASIC program. Good use of technical knowledge applied to a simple piece of hardware can produce amazing effects. Your half way to creating a demo in BASIC.

I does not help to call it a bitmapped display when people are trying to write programs for it, it will just confuse them especially if they are used to computers with real bitmapped displays. You can't poke into a place in the VIC's memory to draw a dot on the screen, you can on a bitmapped system ...

The VIC-20 uses a type of Tile Mapped Display. There are three components. 1) The character data (normally set to the character ROM) 2) What characters to display where. Screen memory 3) What Colour to display each tile. In the program above you are only altering 2 and 3. The VIC chip automatically ...

This program can be rewritten in BASIC to help you understand.

It would be nice if someone could either make converters between these different controllers or make new controllers.

Amazon has a reference to it and the ISBN numbers but I doubt you can buy it anywhere online.
