Denial

For those of you out there in Denial land that are fond of type-in programmes for the VIC, you may
want to check out the Hebdogiciel (en francais) website (http://www.hebdogiciel.fr/VIC20.htm). The full
listings for the programmes themselves are located on a different website:
http://www.abandonware-magazines.org/af ... g=7&page=1

Don't let the language issues deter you; I'm sure most of you would feel right at home. Happy typing!
Perhaps, if some of you take up the challenge (so to speak) you could post your offerings right
in this thread or via the main Hebdogiciel site itself.

First of all welcome to our friendly forum.

Thanks forr sharing these typeins

Thank you! I just LOVE those non-English mags. They testify about the VIC world in every European country. I'm curious: did you buy some of those back in the day? Were they newsstand magazines?

Thank you for the thank yous; and no I didn't buy them back in the day. I came across them on google when I was searching for type-ins.
I hope the community enjoys them: all the best.

Thanks for finding these!
Here's the first one, from #2.

It's quite a fun game, if a little random. The start of line 180 is a little odd - removing the 'ifs<0then' makes the game much easier, since you don't have to keep track of the distance to the hole in your head!
I guessed at the content of a couple of lines because the printing/scanning was particularly blurry.

Working on an English translation. I'll stop if someone recognizes this game.
Here we go:

I fixed the bug on line 180 in the translation (but not in the original - I didn't want to modify the authentic type in experience for that one). It should have read 'ifs<>0'.

@kweepa My pleasure; I'm in the midst of doing one myself, but it's incredibly long. Also, try and submit your offering to hebdogiciel.fr site. I'm sure it will help them out as well! Keep 'em coming, community!

AP - which one, so I can avoid it? Please post it here too when you're done.
I'm going to type in Flechego from #3 next.

@kweepa

Whoops, I should've mentioned it! I'm currently doing Le Vase d'Or Heb no. 155.

Thank you for this work, guys. If you agree, I'd move this thread to the International section, because it's similar to what we've done with an Italian listings mag, Papersoft. I'd leave a link to the thread in this section.

Yup, makes sense!

Fine by me!

#3 FLECHEGO

Quite a fast-paced breakout-style game, with some unusual gameplay at the bottom of the screen.

@ You are a machine, kweepa!

I'm still type-in-ing away, but my programme encompasses issues 155-163! I'll just keep plugging away.
All the best.

Interesting coding - I think the author was unaware that you could reuse loop variables. They also ran out of time or space to make the submarines stop and disappear when hit. Each depth charge and sub has its own section of code, so lots of copy and paste.
