Well, geez, you are poking garbage into the vic registers, so it's expected that the vic goes crazy. To get it back you can copy the original state, and replace it once done. If you break into the program you should be able to type goto30 to run the recovery code. 10 dimv(26):fori=0to25:v(i)=peek(36...

Sounds like a PC game!

Oh, hah! Yes, it's totally unplayable! Needs a delay loop in there (that gets smaller as the game progresses).
KweepoutMC is mixed C/asm so your compiler wouldn't help...
Thanks!

I'm guessing his mother is French
3 languages, 7.5 platforms = update headache!

So you are French, not Italian?
Why no French version of the game?

I agree 99.9999038%

Numbers being equal is pretty common in CBM BASIC, where ints are stored as floats.
I forget what nippur is up to but it could be something similarly flexible.
But yes, the ROM routine sounds fast enough, and would save some memory

On the other hand, most programming languages use exact comparisons for floating point equality so you are in good company if you do the same. It's up to the programmer to decide what is an acceptable epsilon, as it strongly depends on what she is doing.

It certainly looks like the mantissa could be anything in that case. Seems safer to early out if both exponents are $80.

I tried it with kweepout but the petcat output (to make the bas file) crashed the compiler. I suspect lines like this are a problem: .STRG "{home}" (Probably should have converted this to a byte array instead?) Also, the [generated assembler] code was enormous (not surprisingly) so I'd pro...

Sounds amazing!

Hmm, I thought it reset to the title screen, but I could be wrong.
It's been a while.

Since they are BASIC you can just LIST them or open them in a Commodore BASIC editor.

I finished this - it's a nice medium length game (3 hours or so) with a lot of atmosphere, an unusual setting, and a few not-too-difficult puzzles.
Thanks Darwin!
