Wanna make money in these canicular days?

Post by orion70 »

... try opening your own Lemonade Stand!!!

Here's a quick conversion from a public domain C64 game. It's for 16K expanded VIC, and it runs in 40 column mode. First you have to load'n'run 40COL, then LOAD"LEMONADE",8 and RUN.

Have fun! :D

Green on black is the new black! :lol: How about making a 22 column version with slightly reduced graphics and text inputs relocated? Perhaps there already exists one.

Not that I know of - but relocating graphics is so annoying, I'll leave it to you as you did for Weather. :P

It looks quite doable, see this mockup:

The sign is a bit off-center, but it only makes it more delightful. :-D One could even put the bottom message as a text scroller, freeing another three rows if one wants more graphic elements.

I'm not saying I'll convert this game to 22 columns, just presenting a possible layout. Whether the program will easily adopt to this layout is another matter.

In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

OK Anders, I'm leaving for the seaside (one week). I'll see what I can do when I come back, after few lemonades :P .

Thanks Formater! :D

I will include this game in a compilation of about 20 titles converted from PET. I'm currently working on game one-filing and crunching, thanks to Nicola (nbla000). :wink:

No joke. Never mind the game; I would sell lemonade if there were a profit to be turned.
60 cents - thats about 4 crowns. A real bargain to the customer.

I am certain however that having kids sell lemonade on the street like this is totally illegal in Sweden....(so we will just have to keep quiet about it :wink: )
