Mclaneinc Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Another brilliant issue Bob, just plopped on my mat, love the Avery Lee interview, he opens up about his work on Altirra, nice one FJC. Loads of very detailed game maps....I won't spoil the contents more than that... But I do agree with The Monk score Paul..

shanti77 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Work in progress ?. Formation works good. Now I try speed up game engine. On NTSC game sometimes slow down, I try some method like eor and blinking sprites. In game I must add score screens, and modify print screen procedure to fast write big levels (max 256 bomb/meteor on level) and make more rounds. It take's some time... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 All UK orders have been despatched. All European and US orders will be shipped by Friday. PDFs are in the webshop - under PDF Downloads - At least on my browser, FireFox, I had a very hard time finding the link text at the top of the banner. It was not very visible and I really had to hunt, red text on a red background. It looks like it is something to do with my zoom setting, as when I zoom out the links are under the banner instead of on the top of it.

+orpheuswaking Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Van, that's your Firefox telling you to buy the print version Edited April 28, 2017 by orpheuswaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I also had a hard time finding the link. I agree about the zoom, or it may be because I used a different computer with a different monitor. Not sure, but it seems screen / resolution related. Will investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Van, that's your Firefox telling you to buy the print version That Could be, the last couple security updates have hosed it's performance and made using it a royal pain. At one point after an update, it was taking almost a minute to refresh a screen with long periods of 100% CPU load. I was having flashbacks to dial-up days.

Mclaneinc Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The one thing I detest about Firefox are the plugins, the number of times they stall and freeze leaving Firefox unresponsive, nothing you can do but shut the task down and reboot firefox, happens a lot with scripts and video... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I switched from Firefox to Opera a couple of years ago, I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome was a total mess trying to play videos and there hasn't been a update in over a year. At least FF wouldn't hose the audio but it took them a month to push out a patch for their broken patch and they are dropping XP support later this year.

Yogi I have no idea if Opera still supports XP. I'm using 7. But it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
