    If you build it, they will come :)

    And again, the Adam is a very different animal from the game console, so frankly lumping the 2 together is not helpful and vaguely condescending...

    Are you the Colecovision moderator?

     

    Vorticon,

     

    perhaps it's worth checking out the new Atariage "clubs" functionality which are basically mini-forums you can setup yourself if I understand correctly.

    It's kinda silly being at the mercy of a moderator. You won't know if a new subforum takes of unless you try it.  Just my 2 cents.....

     

    Myself I'm very interested in The Adam Computer lately and reading about development stuff for it (which is not the same as game development)

    I especially enjoyed reading about the CPM text editor you implemented.

    Now thinking about it, could see a subforum for TI-99/4a related computers like Tomy Tutor & Geneve 9640.🙂

    This is a very interesting thread.

     

    Guess cross-sharing ideas can't hurt; in the Colecovision section there is some VDP stuff being discussed and worked on as well:

    I have played this game on my Tutor and I didnt see anything that cant be done on the Ti-99/4a.

    Pretty sure you could convert the source code to Ti-99/4a with small modifications (unless door door would be running

    a z80 emulator, you never know) or perhaps even start from a ROM disassembly. Just my 2 cents.

    Wont be me though, too much on my plate.

    Finally had a chance to look through my files. There were snippets of MiniWriter source but nowhere near complete.

     

    I did find source to Sorgan, Desktop Publisher, 4ATalk (Qtem), and a few others. I don't know if anyone is around to OK their release; I came across them from another TI'er long, long ago. Anyone have thoughts on this?

    To be honest, I am for releasing all source code so that it can be preserved for history, more than anything else really.

    This is for a system that is now 40 years old. Tend to agree that for new homebrew software for the Ti-99/4a it is up to the author to decide how to deal with it.
