Denial

How well the water works was a happy accident. I was expecting to be able to see Emu but was pleasantly surprised at it's visual effect.

You're right! I was trying to think what were the main characters and now you say it I can almost hear that crocodile! Yes, that's now in. So far I have these characters to put in: crocodile (left/right patrolling) Eyeball (diagonals) Spider (up/down) Invader(up/down) Amoeba (up/down) Bat (up/down) ...

The game is being made with Turbo Rascal and a bit of assembler. I've implemented some neat little tricks, in large thanks to the help of the supportive Denial community and of course have Jeff's Vic 20 Quick Reference Handbook by my side which is proving very useful. Raster split I have a screen sp...

Name: Emu's Massive Hunt (title may change) Status: Work In Progress Author: Andy H (HEWCO) Genre: Platformer Code: TRSE/Assembler Requirements: 32K VIC-20, joystick Description: Sequel to Pink Windmill Blitz, Emu has made it through the vines to find Grotbags has caused chaos in the Pink Windmill. ...

Floating point variables are faster too, because I understand basic is converting integer variables to/from floats which slows things down. It's a shame integer variables aren't smaller and faster in general but I'd guess they went the float route for better support and keeping the basic ROM to 8k t...

Ah good, that's pretty much what my loader looks like. My tester was able to easily get it to run on the real hardware so thanks once again for helping me get there.

Wonderful. Thanks Mike, that works (tested in emulator, will try on a real machine later). Why am I doing it this way? In brief, it's temporary. In my code, for convenience, I have my project to produce a huge cart image starting at $1210 in my case and ending at $c000. This of course is not a valid...

I'm working with a fully expanded Vic, 35k (that's the 3K RAM at $400 and the full 32K in the other blocks). What I'd like to achieve: Load a BASIC program (on disk) that reconfigures RAM so BASIC starts at $0400 and ends at $1000 with the screen starting at $1000 The above loads a second BASIC prog...

I believe a revision was being worked on. I know there are some health issues being dealt with that are likely the reason for the silence at the moment

Best person to ask would be Dave who coded that -> https://www.patreon.com/tynemouthsoftware/posts

Excellent game, nice to see it on the Vic.

I'd be surprised if the majority of active Vic users today don't have a modern memory cart supporting up to 35k and emulation users have all memory configs available to them also. At end of the day, my advice is to build to whatever specs you want and if others want to play what you produce I'm sure...

I did this for cheesy Trials. Sounds a little zx spectrun-y

Thanks Thegg and Tokra - cracked it.

Brilliant, thanks both. And I'll check out Mike's info.
