+arcadeshopper Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I don't include games in the Classic99 folder that don't work in Classic99, that would be getting really silly. Sounds like you're running my TI BASIC "Space Fighter" game. Enemies don't start to appear until you start moving - use A/Z and S/X to adjust speed and shield power. This one? http://harmlesslion.com/software/spacefight Yep that's it! that game's screaming for an instruction page Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I bet you RasmusM could do a pretty cool port of this... and add a chiptune with Tursi's routines, and we'd be good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I wish you many frustrating moments... That's fucking amazing ! Also puts a few things into perspective.

sometimes99er Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Very frustrating. Nice music. Apparently got so much routine, I was beginning to fall asleep. Guess it will come as no surprise that the score is in hexadecimal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperious Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I guess the saying "Be careful what You wish for" applies here. Looks fantastic, plays fantastic. Definitely an annoying game though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollett Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Newbie question: I figured out how to mount the flappy bird disk in classic 99. But then what do I do? I'm guessing extended basic or editor/assem cartridge, but I don't know what commands to type in. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfollett Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Make sure Disk Type: is Image (DSK) That's what I chose. Here are my exact steps. 1) Run Classic 99 2) Disk Menu > DSK0> for Disk Type >Image(DSK) Path> flappybird.dsk (I used the browse button to locate the file) 3) Extended basic already selected in Cartridge menu 4) Press any key 5 Press 2 for Extended Basic I then see the Extended Basic Ready prompt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the instructions and for that wonderful version of Flappy Bird. This one also got the physics right, which you can't say of all versions (especially those on the Atari 2600). And as for the music... it's the Flight of the bumble bee (bumble bird? whatever...), arranged by Sam Moore Jr. The original version of that song, as far as I know, was a BASIC program consisting of CALL SOUND statements, but someone converted it to a sound list for use in "The Mine", as far as it seems. I can recall when I saw "The mine" for the first time (I knew the music before that) at a TI meeting of the local TI Journal Club back in 1985. There I asked the man showing the game there if the creators of the game would have licensed the music from Sam Moore Jr. . Of course he didn't know, but that way I caught the attention of another TI-99 user, who then became my best TI-99 friend, and in whose band I'm playing the keyboard now. I would have thought of a different music that would fit, but I don't know if by only playing the music someone would notice the meaning... Also, I think the scoring could be improved. As far as I know, the app had the scoring in the top in bigger letters (same font as the title), and it was counting in decimal numbers, not in hexadecimal. Yes, I know, I always find things that could be improved. But I'm quite happy with this version in comparison to what was done on other systems...
