[HSC10 Round 16: Mega Space Blastathon]

I'm very pleased to see that my Yar's strike homebrew is used in this HSC ! I've read all the comment about it with a smile on my face

 

Saw some really good scores passing by. Sorry for the bugs guys.. ..I'm sometimes a bit messy i think...

 

Either way, very cool to see people had fun playing it !!

[Potential new hardware]

This is very, very cool !

[Random numer between 0 -18]

Thanks for the reply's ! It opened up my eyes to do things better !

[Random numer between 0 -18]

Thanks for thinking with me, guys ! And it would be more easy if it was a number 0-15 indeed, but it has to do with random screen x,y coordinates.

[Random numer between 0 -18]

To get a random number between 0 and 18 I use the following routine :

 

BOM LDA RANDOM

STA TMP2 ;holds the random numer between 0 - 18

CLC

ADC #237

BCS BOM

 

But this consumes way too much time because most of the times the random numer is too high...

 

Could somebody show me the right way to do this ?

 

Thanks !

[top view graphics]

Thanks guy's for the tips !

 

@jose : are you using Tile exstractor from Neil Walker ? Is there any osx software ?

[top view graphics]

I'm searching for some games which have top view graphics with walls, trees, houses doors and other GFX objects to inspire me to make some good top view gfx for the A8....

 

Who has some good game recommendations ?

 

Thanks !

BTW: I've just uploaded a new 360° turnaround animation -> https://www.youtube....bed/Os2ye-Yivrw

 

Very cool ! Also, I looked at your site and noticed that you're the one makes that nice ABBUC covers ! Great work !

[800XL 3D rendering]

Wow Oliver, This is truly amazing !

 

When I was watching it i was thinking of the amount work done...4 years ! it's so detailed, Taiwan on the sio connector.So cool !

[Mary Poppins coms to Atari 8-bit]

This is funny ! It takes some really good timing and i already had troubles to pass package 3

[New development IDE in the works]

Any news on the IDE ?

[New development IDE in the works]

As soon as it is in a usable state, I will be releasing an alpha for testing.

 

Yes ! I would be glad to test it !

[New development IDE in the works]

Truly fantastic ! A decent sprite editor is just what I/we need ! I'm really hoping you'll be finishing this great project !

[New development IDE in the works]

This is looking very promising to me ! I've always missed some good tools for graphics and p/m graphics...I really hope that you will finish this IDE, and especially because it works with OSX ! Is there already downloadable beta-test version ? That would be great to pick up programming asm again :-)

[Midnight Magic for Atari 800]

Wow ! What a great port. Great work to see someony doing so much effort by disassembling the 2600 code and translate it to working 800 code !

[I search atari friends in the Netherlands.]

I'm the one Marius talked about above I'm from the centre of the Netherlands, called ' 't Gooi'

 

We Atarians from the Netherlands should team up and come to the retro days organised in Maarssen, so we will be with more people then the C= people J/K..

[What's this?]

Fox1 is totally right. As a kid I had a GE printer with that interface mounted on the back of the printer. As i recall correct the interface connects to the centronics port on the back.

 

Never seen it since my youth...funny to see that cable again !

[My New Webpage]

Cool Stuff on your site. I've mist the best times I think...

[New Year's Disc 2011]

Best wishes for 2011 from me !

 

Cool work everyone ! I really enjoyed watching all the demo's and playing the game, and it was great fun making an entry for this year again ! Good work PP's !

 

And funny to hear a Camouflage song since I'm a big fan of them !

[New Year's Disc 2011]

Yes ! I really like this atari event ! I will pull my brains together to get out some code

Like always, it's more then a year ago I did program something for our beloved atari...

 

Thanks for the nice invitation PPS !

[Brand NEW 1MB and stereo demo for A8]

Cool Stuff ! The endtitling is fun Great animations !

[usefull osx tools (graphics) ?]

Since I switched to Apple OSX i'm looking for some usefull software to make Players/animations. Are there some goed

Recommendations ?

 

On the pc I used ANTIC4 from Calamari a lot for tile and screen design, Is there something for Apple users ?

 

Thanks !

[WUDSN IDE: The free integrated Atari 8-bit development plugin for Eclipse]

Hi Thelen,

I assume the source file has ".asm" as extension. The extension determines the editor used and the editor determines which compiler is used. WUDSN IDE comes with 3 editors for Atari (ATASM, MADS, XASM). The ".asm" extension is by default registered to the ATASM editor (and hence the ATASM compiler). See my comment above (13 Sep) one how to change this via the preferences ("File Associations")/to bypass this via "Open with > MADS Editor".

 

Thanks Peter ! I should be a more patient reader before asking This did the job.

 

Thanks for making such a nice IDE ! This is really a great improvement for me programming on OSX !

[WUDSN IDE: The free integrated Atari 8-bit development plugin for Eclipse]

I'm trying to get it to work on my mac, but I'm getting the error : Path to 'ATASM' compiler executable is not set in the preferences.

 

This error is right, I didn't configure it for atasm since I only (want to) use the mads...Isn't this possible, or am doing something wrong ?

 

Thanks !
