... pack SSS into a BASIC extension I am warming up to the idea... I wrote a (kludgy) BASIC wedge way back when I had energy to spare -- it was cool extending the friendly computer! I recall some C128 sprite-oriented commands, but please list a syntax you feel would be worthwhile. But before even m...

t would be cool for it to be hosted online Yes, whereas one can get BETA copies before it is RELEASED. :lol: Actually, I have a Linux server on the internet (Verizon FiOS), ample bandwidth, mysql (for my WordPress blog), and running DNS (I would also donate the agreed upon domain name). I suppose i...

nbla000 got a hold of me with some info to take into consideration... and I sent him off a re-organized binary (without losing anything new) produced for Mega-Cart -- hopefully, the condensed version with his "cruncher" will allow for it to fit without using a knife.

... make it work under DASM Let me know how that goes, please? I would very much like to see the "diff" in source formats. I updated the VIC-SSS.zip this morning, as I found an annoying BASIC startup bug in its timer and mishandling of missed frames in SSSIRQ with the VSYNC2 variable. Not...

DOH! Another victim of Copy-Paste laziness ...

The new star fighter, dubbed Omega Fury, can be taken for a "spin" with this cartridge or program.

Thrusters will be installed on Tuesday.

... bringing peace once again to the Denial community

Yeah, and it helps to have trusty weapon cannons from Ramok's new star fighter at Denials' command too.

I wrote this as its opening sequence: In the year 2010, the Omegan System expanded its star colonies too far.

Quote: Do you think to update the 4K rom version ?

Thank God! Wink

Uh-oh ... click here and start crying!
Well, I needed 8k to do THAT!

Name: Quikman 8K Author: Robert Hurst Released: February 27, 2009 Requirements: VIC 20 with 8k memory expansion or game cartridge Description: Improved arcade version of 2008 release making use of the new VIC Software Sprite Stack video effects and more features making it closely resemble a popular ...

Ok, you got me looking at DASM ... some more thoughts: - supports several common 8 bit processor models (NOT 8086, thank god!) That line alone got me thinking about switching! :lol: - expressions, as in C but [] is used instead of () for parenthesis. That's weird, so there are a few expressions with...

I edited the PDF to have 2 omitted lines in the code block example: :oops: LDA #%00000001 ; don't forget to enable the sprite! STA SSS So, the zip file has just now been updated, but only for that omission. I use DASM instead of CC65 for all my VIC projects I am not familiar with DASM, but I cannot ...

Your games are pretty good ...

Indeed! I would go so far as to claim Jeff has captured the essence of what VIC computing was all about -- VIC friendliness meant you were going to have fun -- thanks for the fun experiences!

I am tempted to send the seller a hyperlink to viceteam.org where you can get FREE WORKING VIC 20s.

... but he might counter that with there's no challenge in trying to fix it!

Okay, the documentation (PDF format) is completed. All pertinent files, including a demo, are zipped for your downloading pleasure. I posted a 2009 software release announcement -- get the details there. I did manage to fix the last of the Quikman 8k bugs -- and already added more "features&quo...
