I had Paperclip and Paperclip 3. I always liked Paperclip 3, it worked pretty well for me. I remember the author of Paperclip, Steve Douglas, posted a bit about how Paperclip 3 worked in comp.sys.cbm back in 2002. He talked about how Paperclip 3 had a module system and how he was working on a preliminary design for a spreadsheet module. He had made a few other modules and including a game. He was willing to give info on how to make the modules for it but no one in the thread asked (well at least publicly). You can see his comp.sys.cbm post here. Hopefully he has found the game since then, heh. Garak

Yes, now go forth and process some words. 🤣 Garak

Notch actually made a top-down version called Minicraft for one of the Ludum Dare contests a few years back. Could use that as a basis for ideas perhaps. Garak

I can assure everyone that Quark's bar has decent tacos. As for the Atari VCS, well, no self respecting Ferengi would think about being associated with such business. Now, if you excuse me I must go pick up my order of tacos from Quarks so I can eat while mending Chief O'Brien's uniform he keeps getting caught on the stations access hatches.

Ok, lets see what I get: "The gaming press has a shrine to lawsuits" I'm sure the gaming press have all sorts of shrines really, lol.

John Phelan and his constant use of "Atari" is almost begging to be used for a drinking game!

Ah, yeah, good luck with that Lucas. Even if they do make an announcement at the end of this month it will be nothing substantial. Unfortunately, it will give the taco deprived pigeons like Lucas false hope about the "greatness" of their investment.

Replicators... You Federation people are so dependent on those sad singular devices. On Cardassia, before the war, you could find the greatest tacos made throughout the quadrant. Ah, but that was another time. Now if you want decent tacos I highly recommend you talk to Quark.

Federation citizens please send to Cardassia your finest tacos. Oh, and no root beer - it's a vile liquid.

Perhaps that should be little brother since ARM was 'born' after the 6502.

Ah, you've noticed. No, it's not my native language. I learned the language during my time of running a tailor shop on the promenade of Deep Space Nine. Many Starfleet personal were stationed there and I picked up English from them (they kept dropping it all over and people would trip over it constantly there). Before that I used a universal translator. How's that for a response? What I believe is that they know what they're talking about. One way I know is that they've demonstrated their knowledge many times on this (and other) sites over the years in various ways. Yes they are, they've proven it. If wishes were trees the trees would be falling. The only thing they are fanatic about is being accurate about what each computer (Atari or Commodore) is capable of. They are. We should have one, yes, but the fault doesn't lay with them. Again with the "fanatics"? If I were you I'd go back and really look at that picture again. It is not the computer you're looking for. No, indeed they won't. I think you need to go back re-read their posts. Oh, I am so tempted to make more DS9 references here it's not even funny. Right, because above all else that doesn't belong in the programming forum. I'm aware of it. Ways you know you're losing an internet argument #403: use "I have a [fill in some health problem]" or "I'm a [fill in some health problem or college degree]" to try to stay afloat in the fray. I would think many people on these forums have problems too whether similar or not but that doesn't make it right to not listen. Yes, you too. Garak

Um, no, none that I can think of. Thanks for asking though! Well... actually I might. Something about someone who doesn't grasp what others are telling them. Yeah, I'd say that could be a problem, but certainly not my problem. Actually I have so I didn't need your constant demonstrations of it in this thread, thank you. Yes, I know you don't. Even when posts are written by people who are far more experienced in such matters then you. You're giving me this advice? What about those who post pointless posts pointlessly? Garak

Agreed. I've found you can get some rather interesting music from picking notes randomly. Back in 1991 a few friends and I started work on a small rpg/dungeon crawl game in BASIC. One of my friends wanted a small tune for the game. The BASIC we were using had a "play" command and he randomly inserted a whole bunch of notes in then went back and made each note a sharp or flat. It actually turned out pretty well but never ended up being used. Garak

If you intend on using other people's SID music in releases you should, at least, make sure to give credit to the author of the SID. Garak
