Thanks!

Hi Wim, very nice how you managed to shrink the original game size so much.
Anyway I think the executables for Wimbasic should be more user friendly.
IMHO: user mounts an d64 image you uploaded, types in load"boot",8 (or whatever) and the cool basic extension + your game loads without further interaction.

Yep, I second that

Ok,

Great idea ! I created a modified WimBasic to support this.

This attached zip file contains a D64. Attach this at #8.
It contains both the 3k+ and the 8k+ gamefiles.
It also contains the modified wimbasic.prg.
Make sure you have 8k RAM at BLK5 ($A000-$BFFF)
Load and run the file BOOT. This will load and run WimBasic
The modded wimbasic.prg loads and runs WBSTART at startup.

You are free to program BOOT and WBSTART as you please. All at your own risk of course .

Regards,

Wim.

Now THIS is easy to do (you should have put BOOT as a first file in the disk to allow drag and drop in VICE though ). Thanks a lot. The game is faster and more fluid with WB.

Hmm...

Code: Select all

xvic RALLY.d64:boot

works with me.

Ok, I was talking about the most idiot proof action: drag and drop the d64 into the vice window. Never used command line.
