Re: Corrupt end of basic program

It just happened again. Just a program, nothing special, with a blurred end after the listing. You still remain short of providing a reproducible test case, where a program is corrupted without the known usual suspects as cause (i.e. stray POKEs into zeropage or into the tokenized BASIC program tex...

Re: Corrupt end of basic program

It just happened again. Just a program, nothing special, with a blurred end after the listing. This is the solution. If your program does not end with an END-statement - $80 - (because of subroutines or DATA), add a REM THIS IS THE END after the last line. Attacht the VICMON-cartridge, start VICMON ...

Re: Manuals in other languages

In the Netherlands there is no need for Dutch manuals. Every Dutchman learns English thouroughly at school.

Re: Welcome! Please add your programs.

Source is attached. The ZIP file contains the source, the graphics, and a .prg ready to run. smilebounce2.png Very nice. Thank you for attaching the assembler source too. I am a beginning assembler VIC-20 programmer, so I can see how you programmed it. I am using the SYS-method. Before I start prog...

Very nice to see how things are going at the other side of the ocean! And I like the retro-homepage.

Re: EURO 24 football program disk with added game - a slot machine

I continue with writing a program that calculates the matches after the group-phase. But I do that for myself. Now, this topic ends with this, because I doubt whether this topic is a contribution to this forum. (In America soccer is not something that reaches the front pages of newspapers, so I unde...

Re: UEFA European football championship 2024

All programs on the disk for the unexpanded VIC And hereby the disk with the programs. It's a pity I had to used the normal INPUT-statement. There was no room for my INPUT-routine. Technical description follows later. The disk has the following programs: EURO24-MATCHES To lookup the matches from a s...

Re: Starting VIC-20 unexpanded-project UEFA European football championship 2024

Working on the program that calculates the standings in the groups. I finished the program for inputting the matchscore. Reserving memory for the matchtable helped me a lot. It remains a struggle, those 3500 bytes free. This week I hope to present a disk with the programs: clear scores, input scores...

Re: Starting VIC-20 unexpanded-project UEFA European football championship 2024

Working on the program that lets the user input te score of a played game. Still on the unexpanded. The program first reads the match-file: 51 matches with 13 integer-data: 1. Matchnumber 2. Weekdaynumber 3. Date (from 114 to 214, where 1 is june and 2 is july, to fit in a byte) 4. Hour of day 5. Pl...

Re: Starting VIC-20 unexpanded-project UEFA European football championship 2024

This doesn't work for large programs. I already pointed out in the thread " Corrupt end of basic program ", that copying 174/175 to 45/46 is problematic. Actually, it only works immediately after the program has been loaded - the KERNAL load procedure places the address behind the last lo...

Re: Starting VIC-20 unexpanded-project UEFA European football championship 2024

Hello there again! I am still there. But I was/am very busy with my work. Now, in the long weekend, picking up this project again. The chaining of programs keeps me worrying: "that means POKE45,PEEK(174):POKE46,PEEK(175) with a follow-up CLR will also do the job and won't need to be corrected a...

My computer refuses to download the zip, because of the firewall.
