Topics I've Started

XB Mille Borne

Wed May 8, 2013 4:27 PM

NOTE: update and bug fixes @ http://atariage.com/...to-mille-borne/


From my blog, here is a version of Mille Borne I wrote for the TI in XB a while back. Plays a good game.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the AI, it could play a better but plays OK.  
no graphics but self explanatory on how it plays.
to play:
press number of key beside card. if can't play will ask to delete. only plays to 700.
If anyone wants to modify it, be my guest.

Great website on the early pioneers of computers games

Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:47 AM

came across this great sight on some of pioneers of computers and computer gaming. Articles on Bill Budge of pinball construction set, Dan (later Dani) Bunten of MULE and other interesting people are profiles.
As well as some insightful articles on the early days of EA, Atari, the LISA and C64 (with a big mention of the TI99).

PS. some of his older post go over how to play some of the classic games. well worth a read.

MUSIC from other sources

Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:04 AM

This has to do with my MULE project but I thought this question was more general and could be of use to everyone.
Is there a way, or utility, to convert a .wav file or other sound file to a TI music file?
I want to know before I try to recreate the music in MULE by ear. I can do it, and I have a friend who is a musician who can help but that will be a bit of work.

Trying to update CYC

Mon Jan 14, 2013 6:32 PM

just tried to send an email to CADD (the email on their website) to get info on updating my CYC disk (it's about three years old) and got a bounce back. I know they have an address to mail a check to but really don't want to send a check blindly.
Anybody got some inside information on these folks like another email address?
By the way, what this has to do with TI programming is that I use PC99 (yes still) for a lot of my programming stuff and the CYC has such a great wealth of programming info (well worth the price).
