    .....and have no disks to try

     

    Hi !

    congratulation for your purchasing !! :D

     

    i have a lot of ti99 disks full of programs and games, if you want i could ship them to you ;)..

    all are tested... and working ;)

     

    maybe you should need a Disk Manager cartridge too, i have a spare if you haven't

    ;-)

    Well, finally i decided to vote... i played again all games... and i must say... i voted for TI fukushima... i found it a bit slow but i prefer for longevity...

    it's always different and i think i will play it again and again... (with "System Maximum" option in Classic99 :-D )...

     

    i liked a lot Kaboom !! it's a fast Arcade Game, but will be hard for me exceed my actual record 535... it's too much fast !! :-o

    anyway a great nice game...

     

    a good work on the Rush Hour too ! :) ... now i am stopped on level 9... ;) ... but for me will be a low longevity on this game...

    i will not replay all the levels... becouse now i know how to win them...

     

    so these are the ones i prefer: 1) TI Fukushima - 2) Kaboom - 3) Rush Hour

     

    Thank you to all the programmers ... i love to know you are here and hoping to do myself a game one day !! :-D

    Oh yes, but i do not want to use the monitor, it's only for my collection and my little "home museum"... I have already a TI-99/4 13" Monitor, but i looking for a 10", in Italy is very very hard to find it...

     

     

    i can't wait when i will got the F18A, i have a Samsung 24" that waiting for it also !! :D

    Thanks to Stuart I can nwo use my nanoPEB (bug thanks btw) however I'm having trouble loading images onto the flash card and more importantly having problems using it, Its a 2Gb flash card, and Im trying to load the E/A images onto it so that I can start doing assembly on "real iron". I'm using TI99Dir, is there any specific format that the card needs to be in?

    Hi Samishal...

    becouse i solved a similar problem to a TI99iuc's user, be sure that your AC power is 5V output...

     

    for example, the user's one was 4,5v and he had problems on loading EA images from a 2Gb card... now with a AC power 5v he solved...

     

    try, maybe is not this problem but it's important you check the voltage...

    The Bolo Ball game is apparently still being sold through www.soleau.com and with a reference to www.logicgames.com too.

    I might be wrong, but I don't see any "really original" games at the sites, all variations on existing game concepts - even at the time they seem to have been made. Haven't gone through them with a fine-tooth comb though. Looks like the last update or version of Bolo Ball is from about 1996.

     

    ... of the games by soleau the one i like is BoloBall for Dos, there is also another version by soleau programmed for windows named Rolle'Em:

     

    http://www.soleau.com/games/rollem.html

     

    but i do not like, the Dos Version i prefer...

     

    Maybe a "completely new game" can be created with ideas from ...ZeroZap

     

    Yes, ZeroZap have a nice concept... maybe we could mix ZeroZap and BoloBall ? :-D

     

    Around the 1:20 mark,in this part 4 video, it becomes somewhat obvious that all possible moves for both players has to be scanned between moves - not something you would do in TI Basic/XB (= would make the game unplayable to me).

     

    yes true... so nothink random choice :(

     

    and i have not problem to create the graphic part... my problem is all the rest !!

     

    I guess we really do not need to have numbers on the balls, and then there's not that many graphic elements to design. If you want to see a community project, then please go ahead and do the graphics.

    /quote]

     

    yes, right ! :) i go to work to the graphics ! :)

     

    29x18 tiles easily fits on the 99/4A screen

    Guess we can do with other resolutions too. Like 32x22.

     

    Great ! :grin:

    Thankyou for the answers ;)

     

    I never played the game, but from the video it looks very doable on the 99/4A. 29x18 tiles easily fits on the 99/4A screen, the animation is tile-based (not smooth sprite animation), and it is not a game that requires fast response (like a shooter for example).

     

    Yes Matthew... i thought the same things about the graphic structure of the game.... and i have not problem to create the graphic part... my problem is all the rest !! :D ... like GroovyBee wrote "need loads of grid scanning and decision making for a computer opponent to find a best match path to drop the ball down" .it's true... and i do not know anything about assembly ;(

     

    A 2 player version - no CPU/AI should surely be plausible in TI Basic (or XB). AI could be developed in Basic, but the AI itself should probably be executed in a speedier language. "Best move" among, let's say 32 possible, is perhaps "too difficult", and then maybe a "best of 4 random tested moves", would be the right difficulity, could be done in TI Basic and then be compiled with Wilhelms.

     

    yes, a two player version could be good and more light for TI99 Basic or XB... maybe i could start from this ?

    but the problem i that i will play it always alone... so i will need to play with my TI99 as opponent ;)

    "best of 4 random tested moves" could be good... but i will need help to programming this part of the game ;)

     

    This is a perfect game for Turbo Forth IMHO. Much easier than assembly and very fast.

     

    Yesm but in TurboForth will be remain a my dream...

    i must still create my first program "Hello World !!" in Turbo Forth !! :D

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHUD-ZKI4V4

     

     

    this is a great game that i play still now on DosBox emulator.

     

    i would love to see this game on TI99, think you that it could be possible do play on a TI99 ?

    if yes what programming language could be better ?

     

    i know only a bit of Basic or Extended Basic and i will need for sure your help for programming some parts of this game and overall the Artificial Intelligence AI of the opponent computer player...

    ;)

     

    Shall I count on your help as always?

    The white, 4-pin connector looks like the AMP (manufacturer) connector used to power 3.5" floppy drives. If so, pin 1 is +5VDC, pin 4 is +12VDC and pins 2 and 3 are ground.

    ...lee

     

    oh yes, sorry i forgot to write it...

     

    i tried already the 4-pin connector with a Power adaptator for PC but nothing new happened... ;(...

     

    becouse in the actual CF7 the 4-pin connector is not used, i thought that is not the plug the problem... maybe i wrong thought and the CF/ could be broken ?

    Hi Friend ;)

     

    i purchased a strange version of the CF7 but i can't be able to work with it...

    when connected to the TI99 and powered on the computer, the CF7 is not recognized and the TI work normally...

     

    now, i have another one CF7 and i know that for work with it is needed for an external 5v...

     

    in this particular version i can't found a component for connect an external power...

    maybe some of you can help me for use it correctly ;)

     

    Thank You.
