Looks and works great as it is. ...

If you want to keep it somewhat restrained, you should consider a +16K RAM expansion as 'soft' limit. At the time, this was the biggest single RAM expansion cart sold by Commodore (the VIC-1111). Anything bigger than that would have required either a cartridge expander (and jumpering the RAM carts)...

Hi All Been having a think today (ouch my head hurts :roll: ) about where to go with this title. Seeing as I'm quite low on free RAM and don't want to lose my sanity trying to fit a quart into a pint pot, maybe I should leave this as the bog standard/plain Jane version of Yacht and just iron out any...

I have uploaded an amended version (0.83) with changes/fixes to the scoring system which I had mixed up a little :oops:.

Link to the file is at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

I have also amended my earlier post with the correct scoring information/rules etc.


Cheers

I was going to say that you'd got the small and large straights incorrect, but I looked up "Yacht" compared to "Yahtzee", and that's how they are scored in that version. However, the rest of the scoring IS per Yahtzee, and doesn't have any of the other Yacht changes (such as no ...

Hi All I have uploaded a PRG of the latest BETA of Yacht, the link is at the very bottom of the first post in this thread. The current version is missing two features which still wish to implement (memory allowing) and still keep this for the Unexpanded VIC. 1) Multi-Player I shall be looking into t...

I'd certainly be interested in seeing THAT routine. :D Me too, though it's not likely possible it was a bit of a tongue in cheek statement. Just that I recall how Mike would reply to threads to with some great optimized/compressed version of code that people where looking for help on. I'm bet there...

Nice work you've done there. Like Darkatx said, some of the images are little bit tricky to make out whilst others like the Back Suplex for example I could tell straight away what move had been pulled off. Bit of a nostalgia trip for me, reminded of all those years ago when I used to watch the WWF/N...

Re: It's been a while ...

I even managed to revamp my 40 column code a bit and get it drawing a full 40x24 screen with 24 Locates in approx 0.26 secs I can beat that. ;) 40x25 in 0.18... There's only one way to settle this - FIGHT! (that'll only be funny if you're a Harry Hill fan) Oh, welcome back btw! Thanks for the welco...

Well I plan for the finished version to support 1-4 players if I can squeeze it all in.

Watch this space.

I got three Yahtzee based games in GB20, but this looks the best version so far ;) Hi Mayhem Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it will be a half decent version of the game, either way it's a nice exercise for me to get back into VIC coding. I should hopefully have a PRG available for download sometim...

Hi All Thought I'd share some details of my new project: Yacht Dice Yahtzee is based on this game and I'm sure most of you are familiar with it.

Hi All Hope everyone is keeping well :) It must be at least a couple of years since I last posted on the forums, various real life distractions ended up with me drifting away from VIC stuff in general. During that time I did nothing whatsoever on the VIC front, but now I've found myself with time to...
