categories: 1.BASIC 2. Games/ports (good/ bad ports of various games) 3. control (i.e did it allow customization of keys or not, how well the games played) 4. Graphics and sound (give a comparison of the different computers sound differences (video or text example)

just thought it would be nice to hear dokken while playing ultima

hat, my friend has already happened. its called desert bus

i know this won't work but i have another question. what if i did the encryption in Machine code?

i'm just joking. calm down people. it obviously won't work.

TI basic is slow to type, slow to execute...just slow in general

kyle, in English man

ok, so, how do I get it to work in Winvice? all I get is a blank box with a few options

that's the great thing about posting. no one knows if you're joking or being realistic. in this case, its a mystery. i'm simply waiting for you all to come up with the reason why

I also did this for the BBC micro: 10 print "are you a dick?" 20 input a$ 30 rem yes or no doesn't matter 40 if a$= "yes" goto 50 50 print "shutting down" 60 print "good, shutting down"

great answers, i'm laughing so hard right now

that was funny kyle22 very funny btw, can the SID player in Winvice take WAV or mp3 files?

I've decided that the best way to fuck with pirates is to password protect the games that I make. so here's a small snippet of my code: 10 print "are you a pirate" 20 input a$ 30 print "hello, my name is c64..., please give password 40 input a$ 50 if a$= 1000 to 9000 (or brute forced) goto 80 60 if a$= 8145 or 99872 goto 90 70 goto 80 80 (loops) 90 (unlocks computer) what I want to do is separate them into 2 different code batches. 1 to protect any games I make or upload to this site 2. to unlock it if needed. (I trust those I give the password to will not spread it over the internet) currently in alpha stage

how do i do a PEEK command on the commodore 64 and vic 20? i can't get it right. i peek the address (38400) but it just says syntax error. what am i doing wrong. just give a short answer

for simplicity's sake, the model 1

1: BASIC: how easy was it to implement and how powerful was it? 2: games: this falls into two categories: strength and weaknesses. 1 game that shows a strength of the computer and one game that shows a weakness, no ports allowed. 3: sound: how well it sounded, Did it use an internal speaker of MIDI for #2, show an example, either a link or video

sorry for that, will repost

3 catagories: 1: BASIC and how well it was implemented 2: graphics and sound comparison 3: games that showcased both the computer's strengths and weaknesses

this is kind of a stupid question but, Would the BBC micro be able to run Maniac mansion or monkey island?

i guess i lost track. sorry for that.

which graphics mode do i use? anything higher than 0 gives me a black screen

what are the mode numbers though? how am I supposed to make any graphics with a black border?

okay, so i'm using atari800win and any graphics modes higher than 0 give me a black screen

and give an example of a few sprites please

now comes the hard part: Machine code or assembly?
