Denial

Ah, nevermind. I know I haven't updated much of the site in quite some time. It's not like I profit from this; I have a real job to take up my time. i don't think anyone doing this kind of site is in it for the money, certainly i'm not and Martijn at WoS , Atari Age 's Albert or Kim Lemon aren't ro...

And I may be wrong, but TMR sounds a little grumpy. I think my feeling are hurt. :wink: Wouldn't have said "grumpy" as such, but y'really need to get the site up to a state where people can submit content, otherwise they won't even know what to write - to paraphrase, if you build it right...

Having "character" and a "look" doesn't mean sacrificing ease of use and navigation. I've seen it done well in the past. i've never seen anything that works in the long term, the reason i put "character" in quotes is because all the designers i've spoken to who use tha...

i don't know if you can correlate standardized layout with higher hits. i think the sites you mentioned are popular regardless of what their sites look like. Well, it works both ways to be honest but yes, i'd say that the hit rates of a lot of these sites are in part due to their ease of navigation...

There's a reason most sites are similar in that respect, it makes it as transparent as possible to navigate around them and that's why i had to "walk" away for a bit when i saw the new layout And boring... they all look the same. Give it some character! 8) i've read more ridiculous commen...

Thing is, it's kind of cute. In my eyes at least. Certainly one hell of a lot different to most other staidly designed sites. There's a reason most sites are similar in that respect, it makes it as transparent as possible to navigate around them and that's why i had to "walk" away for a b...

Conclusive proof that heavy drug taking can have side effects...? =-)

Why make 'em exclusive? Have a VIC music compo, then release the entries as a music disk! =-)

Umm... might get moved to beta news on c64.sk (i'm one of the editors there though, could have a word with CreaMD about it perhaps) but CSDb is actually the C64 Scene Database so doesn't cover the VIC scene...

It's a very small screen...! =-)

i haven't actually got my VIC set up at the moment, the modulator needs servicing for a starter and i only have the one working PSU and the C64 has it for the forseeable...

My routines tend to vary depending on what i'm doing, at the moment i've not needed a full ORA'd soft sprite routine for a VIC game so i don't have any source, sorry...

Can i just point out that i was very tired when i wrote that lot; if it doesn't entirely make sense, let me know... =-)

It's actually fairly common knowledge, because the same tricks that the VIC uses have been utilised for the 264 series and, to a degree, for the bitmap-based machines like the Spectrum and CPC. There's a myriad of variations and sneaky work-arounds for specific graphics, but essentially, you move li...

One minor point; the code could be dumped into the tape buffer, that'll reduce it's memory footprint considerably...?

Same here on both counts, with a little IE to test my own sites and not much else. =-)
