Newbie wants to share his creation

Hi,

I'm new to VICE but had programmed VIC20 a lot in my teen days. I created a game in VICE for windows, all in basic (I still think it's fun to play, although quite ehhh basic?).
How do I share it here? How do I go from writing code for example in the notepad into VICE and the opposite without reformatting everything, which you have to do if you copy-paste?

Thanks!

0. Don't use Notepad! Either write the program in in VICE, or use Basedit or CBM Prg Studio:

http://www.sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web ... php?t=5019

If using VICE to develop the program:

1. Set VICE to use a folder as a disk drive and to save .prg files.

2. From VICE, Save your program with:
SAVE "PROGRAM.PRG",8

3. It will turn up in the folder.

4. Upload it somewhere.

5. Share the web address.

Thanks!

It's the #1 that eludes me!

Also, I don't have a web site I can use to share for an unlimited time, that's why I was also wondering if people can just copy and paste their code here

If the program is not that long, you could copy/paste it here, but depends if it uses any control characters, which obviously would not be duplicated properly.

Got it: I had lots of fights with re-writing the file (I'm used to datassette, not disks!)

Here it is. I'll post it in the "program" section as well.

I made it. See "game section" if interested (sorry for the cross-post, I prefer not to leave this thread unresolved!)
