Denial

Ah, thanks! Another website I didn't know...

Just found this gameplay of my old game on YouTube and liked to ask, if the guy who uploaded it is probably also active here?

Yes looks great! And if I had known that it takes the time it is about to take now, I surely had joined the development - but Revision 2014 was much too short for me. Better I keep my ideas next time?!

Last night I was wondering, if there was a Mah Jongg game like Atari's "Shanghai" for the VIC and if not, how to write one... ;) I thought a little bit about it during the day and I guess, the main problem is the low resolution of the VIC: The game consists of 42 different tiles, AFAIK. Th...

The challenge is to print the tiles to the screen (and probably to store them in memory)... the rest of the game seems pretty simple at first look. We should discuss this elsewhere, I'll start a new thread at the programmer's board tonight!

Is there a Mah Jongg game for the VIC-20 (the search here returned 0 results)? If not, it could be a challenge for me!

I think, best thing is to tell the future provider very exactly the problems we ran into (need some thousand DB accesses ONCE to upgrade the software and than have xx visitors per day). The problem with the current provider is, that they set up a limit of DB accesses per user and hour. We only need ...

OT: The whole thing should go into a FOR..NEXT loop (should be a bit faster than, too - and saves memory):

The general idea is obvious, but when you copy both the main program and the loader, the 96 will still be there. Of course you can put any characters into the screen memory that build a valid ML program, the question (to me) is how to distinguish between a legal and an illegal copy. The idea with th...

The only thing that I can think of, that makes this useful, is that in ML 96 is the number for the mnemonic RTS. Some games used this for copy protection by printing a shifted space to the screen and then later JMPing to it or SYSing to it. I really like the idea, although I can't spontaniously fig...

Let's give it a try!

I see, so the problem seems to be the MySQL server rather than executing the PHP script, right? But it DOES work on a local machine running XAMPP or so?

Yes, with MySQlDumper it's easy to upload large DB files to a web DB server. What is needed? - FTP access to the website (to upload and install MySQLDumper). - The MySQL dump from the current DB (as provided by PHPMyAdmin or similar) - Access to the new DB This should work. Did similar things severa...

Well, I think, I am a little experienced with handling MySQL DBs, so feel free, if there is any specific problem I might help. Many providers limit the execution time of PHP scripts to a limit of 60 or 120 seconds or so. When you try to access a large DB (downloading or uploading), programs like PHP...
