Lee, I checked the *.zip file, and couldn't find any obvious errors. However, I found the strings somehow difficult to read, as green on white doesn't have a good contrast on the CRT I use. I do use an own program similar to TEXTPORT, but written in C, that checks for repeated runs, and adjacent quo...

Yup. It is really progress. Logic errors however, I have not found any remedy for. I've found quite a simple remedy. I try to refrain from non-obvious code. As I write a piece of code, I always think about what would happen if I were about to extend its functionality. One simple example (this is in...

Of course Boray's solution still makes sense, if I were about to extract certain parts of a file. But apart from Carlsson's one-liner for the whole-file copy, I'd also like to point out, that zero-valued bytes are read as empty strings by GET#! Thus, line 40 should be replaced by: 40 PRINT#3,LEFT$(A...

One obsessed more! You remind me of South Party by Hybris/Nemesis . In the middle, they show a C= 64 demo, that looks quite believable at first, but then ... I once was co-author of a SF novel, that a friend of mine wrote in school time (about '84-'85). There we mentioned a VIC as control computer f...

Hi, Boray! From your web-page: [...]HTML codes are stated withing "greater and less than" brackets. I can't write them here as HTML Walker (as well as any web browser) would think that it's a HTML command. So look at this text in a text editor for examples. In the rest of this document, I ...

I rewrote the engine. It's also a little bit faster now. Colour scheme is now as usual - blue on white background, cyan border. As I write this, the old version hosted is already replaced by the new one. You can use the same link above.

Maybe +8K RAM expansions are more abundant.

So far my favorites, after second thoughts: 1. Elite - Acorn Archimedes As the box art says: "Good games come and go, and great ones last much longer, but only one can claim to be Elite." 2. Paradroid - C=64 A classic by Andrew Braybrook. Cool: The logic-based mini-game inside. 3. The Last...

I know there is some difference between SEQ and USR, but I never understood exactly what, even after reading the disk drive manual. On the other side, I think I never saw an USR file. USR files could be loaded directly in the RAM of the disc drive, and executed there. I once saw a program *) for th...

This is an implementation of John H. Conway's Game of Life for the VIC. https://dateipfa.de/.Public/denial/images/minigrafik/life_2.png It runs on a 160x192 grid. 8) Requires +8K RAM expansion. Runs on either PAL or NTSC machines. Instructions: [0] / [1] / [{CRSR}] / [CLR HOME]: (re)set cell, cursor...

Hallo Mobsie, schön, daß es auch noch andere VC User in Deutschland gibt! Ich habe nur noch den Rechner selbst, mit RF-Modulator, +3K Speichererweiterung und das Anleitungsbuch. Die Datasette hatte ich Anfang der 90'er zusammen mit einem 128er verkauft. Wenn ich ein Programm für den VC schreibe und ...

I know, there must be hundreds of these around on the net, at least for other computers. This one has a short story to it: The original had been published in a German computer magazine (called CPU, around Spring '84) as printed listing - and the game got me hooked to the VIC literally for weeks. I c...

Whoa! My first posting above, and the next thing that happens is a dis-assembly by another board member. I guess I'm in the right place here. :) Leeeeee, AFAIK on both VIC-20 and C= 64 the jiffy clock is done with timers in the VIA/CIA chips. It runs at 60 Hz regardless of PAL or NTSC. So there's no...

Hi, all! I simply couldn't resist to de-lurk after I found this board 2 days ago. I'd like to introduce myself with a small ML program I wrote several years ago. It is a interrupt-driven display of TI$ in the border. Enjoy. Greetings, Michael https://dateipfa.de/.Public/denial/images/tools/clock.png...
