  1. Why would Anthropology professors be interested in writing a book about you, Rev, Cmart and the other Intelinerds?
  2. We met two Anthropology professors that are working on a book. We connected them with some tall, shampoo-hating dude that has some insight and connection to the inner workings of the Intelivision.
  3. There is one in progress, some of the attendees of PRGE had the pleasure of meeting the two gentlemen that are working on it.
  4. Sorry, we will be too busy fighting your sister because she bought the system for the new Frog Bog.
  5. You have too much time on your hand or you are forgetting that to you need to ship shit home...
  6. Actually, the problem will be that there will be so many intynerds hanging around that you won't see the booth
  7. Just booked flights and hotel (yes, last minute ) I'll take one if you still have time.
  8. Seeing as how the member in the first post NEVER replies to questions asked of him in message threads, you might be better off getting a mod to remove his fraudulent signature.
  9. nanochess can correct me but I believe you are allowed to use the --cc3 or --jlp to access the 8k-words of RAM feature of those boards, thereby making the 4 floor visited tracking easier for you (and add more floors,) though it might impact you on code space due to not being allowed to use bank switching.
  10. Think outside the limits of 65500 for a single #variable Rem Game initialize #ScoreThousands=0 #ScoreTensOfThousands=0 Rem inside Game loop or in its own Procedure #ScoreThousands=#ScoreThousands+1: Rem or whatever it is If #ScoreThousands > 10000 then #ScoreThousands=#ScoreThousands-10000:#ScoreTensofThousands=#ScoreTensofThousands+1:Print <.4>#ScoreTensofThousands,<4>#ScoreThousands Now you can have an 8 digit score. Putting an ending in just because someone might get there is not a good reason. Your job as a designer should be to make the player want to to get to the end (if there is one,) not put one there in case the player is too good. Put a bonus round in every 5 or 10 levels where you pick up falling pieces of a radio, or Alien language letters that will eventually spell the equivalent of "Phone Home"
  11. Add to that the following little nugget from the post: "At this point there is to find the shells and the cards and evaluate the cost. Everything magically resolves almost by itself, we find the typography to a quality never seen before (to hear Dino, I know very little about it) 3D printing for shells and hardware cards." As a person with lots of experience with what goes into producing a game release, as well as 3d Printing design and production, there is no way: 3d printed shells "typography to a quality never seen before" (hyperbole to the max, I wish there was an easy way to write that sound you make when you sneeze into your arm while saying "bullshit")...a box is a box, whether offset printed or not, Parker style or not and we know what they cost basic PCB's containing a minimally modified IntyBasic game is worth 150 euros and would need to be artificially limited to 100 copies since you would be able to have an endless supply of PCBs and shells.
  12. Freak he may be, but you all should be envious of the best maintained vagina-brush I have ever seen...
  13. Along with the that fact there was appears that no effort into making it a valid version of Gyruss: No "3 Warps to Uranus", no bonus rounds, no optional use of ECS for better music, etc. basically no attempt to make an actual good home version of Gyruss.
  14. There is a picture on page 4 and 5 of the other mr do 5200 thread, which was also started by OP http://atariage.com/forums/topic/237396-mr-do/page-4?do=findComment&comment=3942225 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/237396-mr-do/page-5?hl=%2Bmr+%2Bdo#entry3947038
  15. Yes peek and poke should be allowed as they are available in the language. Helper ASM is disallowed, no matter how creative the programmer tries to be. There are multiple programmers on the judging committee and we will have access to the code since one of the stipulations is someone on the judging panel has to built it from source to replicate the submitted binary. I think these two parts covers it: "Your game(s) must be developed in IntyBASIC v1.2.9 and use the default prologue/epilogue files. The assembly language statements allowed within your game are the ORG statement so that you can develop a larger game and the CFGVAR statement to introduce metadata. " "As part of the validation process, each entry's source code will be built using its instructions and the final binary produced must match the submitted binary image 100%. Any entry that fails this criteria will not be judged."
  16. I can't decide if the "push the floppy disk in" is inspired or it was just designed by someone that has never seen a floppy drive..I'll probably pick one up if I can find one at the end of March when I'm in California.
  17. Yep, the herd went there last October, I had awesome Prime Rib, CMart's steak there was apparently less than awesome.
  18. I may or may not have been referring to steak...
  19. I think you could do a good Egyptian Pharoh Pez costume if you still have that bush brush on your chin
  20. Maybe you'll find meat to your liking this time...
  21. Not quite understanding the question but:The newest jzintv has a hot key to write current Gram to an image file. F8+G on Windows. Or you could PRINT at 0, "\256\257\258" Etc.
  22. A simple test, could be improved a lot of ways, but I only spent 20 minutes on it Could be used as a semi annoying screen saver type thing. 1701.rom
  23. Just send him an email, he still has copies of Vector Pilot as well.
