Re: So I tried to make a game and this happened

Didn't think that would work, but thanks!
Moves really fast, though, how do I check if the key is pressed, rather than being held down?

Re: Super Mario Bros for VIC-20

It would probably/most likely require a RAM expansion or being on a cartridge to achieve, but if someone can actually do the whole game with only 3K to work with, that'd be impressive!

Also, the original NES game was on cartridge, but the NES didn't have disks or tapes like the VIC-20 or the C64.

So I tried to make a game and this happened

Re: How do you make a demo?

I believe most demos involve some advanced character redefining, because I think the pictures in demos often look kinda blocky, Nothing
wrong with that, though!

Also, setup is unmodified except assembler is DASM.

Re: How do you make a demo?

I'm looking into this Pascal compiler's tutorial to learn some things: http://www.lemonspawn.com/turbo-rascal-syntax-error-expected-but-begin/downloads/ Maybe it can help you as well. Thnaks, there's two things I don't really know, and they're both important for demos! 1. If you created your own vi...

I know this topic is old, but I started this topic!
Turns out you can manipulate the registers and the speed of assembly to create a wave effect.

Re: How do you make a demo?

That might actually be a good idea, I will try to find a debugger and look through memory of demos, such as Impossiblator 3, Vicual MMix, Large Unified Theory, and maybe a few other demos...

How do you make a demo?

I wanna know how to make a demo, because I wanna make a demo myself...
...But I don't know how, I think they go into some sort of screen mode that the VIC-20 has, which probably interprets empty memory as pixels, and colors those pixels to create mind-blowing effects.

Screen POKE - Help

:(
Help, POKE 7680,X works fine, a character appears on the top left of the screen, but when I try to POKE other rows of the screen, it ignores it.

(mod: changed the topic title from "Help?" to something more verbose)
