Re: 10 CAVE ADVENTURE on VIC-20 (and other CBM BASIC computers)

I had a go at implementing it in Scott Adams style (with an action table). It still fits in 10 lines: 0 o(2)=4:o(3)=3:o(5)=2:l=1:dAcave,hall,pit,lake,key,corpse,chest,sword,dragon 1 reS:fOi=1to4:rEr$(i):nE:?:?"you are in a ";r$(l) 2 fOi=1to5:rEa$:n$(i)=" "+a$:nE:fOi=1to5:ifo(i)=l...

Re: 10 CAVE ADVENTURE on VIC-20 (and other CBM BASIC computers)

Seems kind of like cheating since it's so hard coded, but I guess what can you do in 10 lines? Seeded random map?

Re: VIC Steampunk — Love it or Hate it?

Can you just post the link to the ebay listing?
Not very permanent, I know...

I thought there was a way to upload pictures but I don't see it any more. Maybe I'm thinking of another forum. You'd have to upload the pictures somewhere else (an image host, or your own web site) and then link them here.

Re: Art nouveau graphics on the VIC

I resized to 88x160, redrew eyes and moved nose/mouth up 5 pixels, then resized to 264x160.

Re: Art nouveau graphics on the VIC

I couldn't resist a stab at the eyes. (Using 2 color for the face.)

I think to match the original a little better you need a much more oval face.
Obviously the neck line is too heavy in my image.

I found it here.
I think it's supposed to be a Phoenix, or a Quetzlcoatl.

Re: Art nouveau graphics on the VIC

I like it very Mucha!
Another text adventure? :)

(Crits: the eyes look a little sleepy; is that an angry anteater in the top left?)

Also, NSFW (highlight to see):
The black part to her left kind of looks like a silhouette of a willy. Sorry! Dirty mind!

Re: Scott Adams, Infocom and the VIC

This is very cool!
I was going to ask if you were writing it old-school with ZILF or using Inform but I see Inform in the game header :)
I have a soft spot for adventures on the VIC, so looking forward to it.

Re: How do you make a demo?

Every demo (and especially every part of every demo) is different, and reading the source won't help much I don't think (unless you spend waaaay too long analyzing it). It's kind of like cutting open a brain to see how it works. It just looks like a mess of neurons/opcodes. Generally, I imagine the ...
