I updated this game with some cool sounds. It's still 20 lines though. I also fixed some bugs I found. I still think the timing is off, but I don't think I can do much about it in BASIC. Try it on VICE with the speed set to 200%. :D Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm thinking of going ...

WOW! I just got the ml routine working. I was using the wrong addressing mode. I used RTS instead of BRK and wrote a little basic program around it to cycle through all the characters on the screen. All I can say is WOW. The speed is outstanding. Another question: How many cycles are in one second? ...

20 Line Contest: Air Raid 20

I assume the contest is an ongoing thing. So, here's another 20 line game. In this game you must shoot down wave after wave of jet plane. The higher the plane is in the sky the more points you get. For each wave completed you get 500 points, 20 extra missles, more planes you have to shoot down, and ...

Thanks a bunch. I've just started to learn assembley language, so i'll probably be burning up the forum asking new-b questions. Like, what prefered program do you use to assemble?

Again, thanks. :D

Thanks for the help. That worked perfectly. I only found six lnx files on funet,
but that did the trick. I'm guessing that this was a zipping format for the 64 back in the day :D
Thanks,

Just tried out video poker . Wow, great game. Plays exactly like a hand held version I have. Keep up the good work. Do you have a blackjack game in the works? or maybe a craps game?

I just tried the copy/paste feature on yape(060), and it worked to a point. The file was there, but it contained errors like: Got an illegal quantity error- yape lost some of the commas, making the numbers run together. Got out of data error- yape omitted numbers, I even saw where the data entry 144...
