Good work - much better than my version (which is 100% "minimised" and obfuscated BASIC).

Maybe Cronosoft will consider this release because it's better and the colour scheme is nicer?

Thanks,

Shaun.

It felt like a year since I started messing around with Commodore BASIC again, and actually it's closer to 2! Where does the time go?

Anyway, the Cronosoft version was rejected due to the colour scheme so I decided to release it into the public domain, as you will now see.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Out of curiosity, does declaring your variables with a % specifically tell CBM BASIC that the range of this number can only be -32768 to +32767 (or is it -32767 to +32768)?? If so, this is very useful to know.

Hi all, As Cronosoft has rejected the release of Bounce for the unexpanded machine, I thought I'd better release it as freeware. Here's a discussion thread as is typical for other releases on these forums. So, feel free to leave complaints or feedback. All of the decisions made in Bounce are deliber...

What I found in your code is that you're using line 0 to hold the contents of the hidden mine-field. That is a little tricky (as a mine-field is :-)). Since there's only a few states that a location in the mine-field can have, it is maybe a suggestion to use the (4-bit wide) memory locations at $94...

I wrote another game yesterday, though it's not Battleships. PM me if you'd like to test the current release candidate

Hi Joshua, There is a version coming soon from Cronosoft as well which will work on unexpanded and +3K machines. If the extra RAM is detected, a custom character set is loaded in, and a few other tweaks. I made the tape and disk images earlier this week and sent them to Simon, expect the Cronosoft v...

I'm a big fan of CBM prg Studio, but use other tools such as Notepad++ and others.

RC1-1 seems stable so it is released.

If I do another version, it'll include joystick controls, a 15 x 15 area and some other things.

Regards,

Shaun.

Hi, Here's Mine Sweep Mini RC1. One may select a skill level on starting, which will determine the number of flags that you are able to place. When you have placed all of your flags, the program will auto-check whether you are a winner or not, but as the game now allows more than 10 flags, I've adde...

Thanks Mike, I'm pretty bad at these logic games (especially playing them). I have a joystick routine for the VC20, which is good. This new version *should* do some of the things that you have suggested. Although I've yet to complete it without cheating. And yes, the program listing does need refact...
