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)

[atari basic vs commodore]

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

[screwing with pirates]

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

[screwing with pirates]

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

[screwing with pirates]

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

[TI v's BBC?]

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

[atari basic vs commodore]

kyle, in English man

[atari basic vs commodore]

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

[screwing with pirates]

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

[screwing with pirates]

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"

[screwing with pirates]

great answers, i'm laughing so hard right now

[atari basic vs commodore]

that was funny kyle22

 

very funny

 

btw, can the SID player in Winvice take WAV or mp3 files?

[screwing with pirates]

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

 

[atari basic vs commodore]

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

[Aple II vs Amstrad cpc vs TRS-80 (all models)]

for simplicity's sake, the model 1

[Aple II vs Amstrad cpc vs TRS-80 (all models)]

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

[Apple II vs TRS-80 and Amstrad CPC]

sorry for that, will repost

[Apple II vs TRS-80 and Amstrad CPC]

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

[bbc micro game help]

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

[bbc micro game help]

i guess i lost track. sorry for that.

[porting T2 the arcade game to the atari 800]

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

[bbc micro game help]

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

[bbc micro game help]

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

[porting T2 the arcade game to the atari 800]

and give an example of a few sprites please

[porting T2 the arcade game to the atari 800]

now comes the hard part: Machine code or assembly?
