Minefield80 help needed

Post by matsondawson »

Can someone help Perseus get this working?
It's written for a 80 column PET, but has some vague instructions to convert it for a Vic20...

I have it working now without sound and the machine code.

I have no idea what that was for.

Could do with a tidy up but it works fine. It is Quite playable.

emailed to your gmail account a d64 image with mines80vic

Best regards

Vic20Ian has done a great conversion...

Unfortunately it requires a keypad :) so you have to use the normal numbers on vic, quite tough. Might need a joystick conversion.

I will play around with a conversion to the old qweasdzxc favourites and try some other corrections when I have a bit of time.

I think the odd poke in there is to hide the input question mark.

This needs to be Poke19,1 on the Vic to suppress and Poke 19,0 to restore for printing.

Thank you both for your efforts! :D If either one of you could make a .prg version of Minefield80 it would be appreciated. I have another type-in to send to Matt, which can hopefully be repaired as well. I do seem to have a problem getting these things to work: anyway, thanks to all.
