Hi... i've just got the Namco museum vol.1 with galaxian, galaga, pole position, dig dug, ms pac man...
get it from ebay! it is cool...
what do you think: is this an emulation or is all recoded? the emulation seems 99% perfect (inkl. sound..."prepare to qualitfy...")

haven't coded this for 10 years... (honestly!)

but i could be completly wrong

i have updated the zip-archive with the "graph.com" utility fox mentioned. it is quite more advanced than the old "logos.com" converter...
check it out...
keys i have figured out
ESC switch to menu, moving via cursor or joystick, start, select, option change colors, 0-3 are colors... the only what i havent figured out is how to paint and set pixels...
http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/logos.html
i love converting logos into char...

and get "code genie" for text editing your sources, get XASM, or DASM as cross assemblers, get the "x'-utilities...
some stuff you can find here (technical docs...)
http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj/main.html
an easy start:
http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj...dj/abbuc68.html
and search the boardds here for tipps & usefull infos... good luck!

ps. albert: we should definitly include a FAQ page @ atariage...the same "programming" questions are raising exponential...
-
well... as being a professional product manager i can give you just one
answer which is true...
the only people who decide weather it is a good or worth game are the customers who buy our games... simple answer and very obvious but sometimes we publishers think we can push a crap game...but if it is crap...it is...but how many crap games (from programmers or my point of view) are bestsellers. take f.e. myth...or any other casual game (moorhung in germany or the sims...)
there is only one instance... the market...

and btw... you can use decimal numbers in assemler as well...
lda #96 = lda #$60
lda #15 = lda #$0f
sta 53248 = sta $d000
the only restriction is that all 6502 registers are 8bit numbers so value range just between 0-255
of course mostly not in a monitor which has a single step assembler build in... but this is NOT an assembler...
don't think too complicated when programming 6502... it is just a cpu. just 0 or 1s... the cpu is just doing what you want...
thomas...yes...thinking in 0101010101 is the key after a while...
hve
ps. kaz...don't give up too early...1st try to change colors in assembler...and so on...
f.e.
atari800:
org $0600
colbk = $d01a
start ldx #0
loop stx colbk
inx
jmp loop
(this was my hello world... ;=))

congrats...
where can i find your other game??? on your website i just find thrust...

is it worth to figure around with excel just because of this???
my opinion is not... spend more time on training skills... f.e. i have always a calculator (offline or online) with me while programming... so you can easily convert values...
$xy dec = x*16+y
$hilo = l*16+o+(h*16+i)*256
and if you use turbobasic xl (as recommend by me in another thread) you can easily use hex values in basic:
5 i=0
10 while peek(53279)=6:rem checks if START is pressed... could be "<>6" instead
20 poke $d01a,i
30 i=i+1
40 wend
50 print "finished... Heaven is great programmer... ;=)"
60 end
-
i still recommen turbo basic xl for atari... it has more structured stuff like
labels, procedures, repeat, until, do, while, move command, proper IO routines, etc... faster...
kaz: you find it in the timepilot.zip file

i need help in converting the sprite data into suitable format for timepilot...
if someone could help me to cut out the sprites out of the "screenshots" from mame and send the stuff to me as BMP or PCX or PNG would be a great help. you don't have to reduce the gfx to 4 colors...i will do that...
the only restriction is that the sprites must be aligned correct which means on every 4th pixel... 0,4,8,12, etc...
who will help me? so i can spend more time on the gfx engine and game logic...
hve
ps. of course your credits will be included in the game

aaaarg... jesus... rode = road of course...
-
electra glide???
cool stuff... i can remember it...it was very hard... and it had nice "morphing effect" of the english flag into electra glide logo as far as i can remember...
but the gfx mode was 80x192...the rode was done in mode10...
but i have to double check it...
english software was cool at that time...

...all beginners read the stuff:
http://www.dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/BILLYARD.HTM
learn from them how to optimise your code (the principles...)
very interesting interviews... read the whole archive...

well... i code since 1998 on pc and atari800win... never tested on real machine but it works... (never heard complains from my friends at www.abbuc.de)...
the interesting thing is that even on real machine you have color changes... f.e. my fire routines where done in "red" of course... on my 130xe they were "blue"...so i changed that they were "red" on that machine... but when i saw my demo running on other machine at a demo party it appeared "blue"...
but i trust atari800win 3.0 because fox is using this emu heavily so i believe it is 99,9% accurate...and if your colors are not correct...just load another palette....

hmmm....strange questions... well...disassembling (well turning back an assembled file into sourc code...) will loose every "label"-names. why?
because at that time there was no "symbolic" assembling like in visual studio c++. so the debugger gets all informations for variables, labels, etc... as well... i guess turning back a PC exe into source code will give you same results like your atari stuff...why? when building the final code no additonal informations are included in the build. no gamer needs that anyway, right?
maybe that is the clue why you are confused... the disassembler can get some hints where loops, etc. are and puts random label names there like LF047 instead of "Drawscreen". why? because he has no information about "Drawscreen"...
it is like printing a word document out...scan the doc back, run a OCR software, and try to get back the original word document with all images, spaces, tables, etc... this will be not possible to recreate 100%...

unfortunatly nobody said that it would be easy to code on 80s consoles...
and even on 5200 which is even more specific than 800xl...
don't give up... maybe 1st try 800xl with turbo basic than moving directly to 5200...

everybody of us use pc to develope...
download timepilot.zip from my website and boot turbobasic xl in atari800win...
set h:handler (pc harddisk) to the folder where you unpacked all files of the archive...
type 'LOAD "H:SPRLOAD.TUR"
and type LIST to get the listing... here you can see how i converted with this turbobasic tool BMP file (160x200x4) into antic mode e...
you must be sure that when f.e. using photoshop or paint shop pro that you save the picture in 160x200x4 (4 colors incl. background)
hope this helps more...
there are a lot of other tools around with which you can load & convert pc files into suitable format for atari but i can not remember them right now... most of them are written from demo coders to demo coders...

thanx guys...
next will be the "direction offset" calculation (slope) for each of the 32
possible directions.
these will be in fixed point format and every object on screen except shots & the player will be added this values every frame relativly to their heading and their speed...
i hope my maths will good enough for that... ;=)
cheers & thanx

ps. yes... there will be bigger clouds. right now it looks like asteroids or like centipede...
. will be fixed when double buffering is implemented (so...no 5200 version without heavy rethinking and reorganising of the code) -
hmmm... where can i find them, foxy baby???
can you send it to me to heaven_tqa @ hotmail.com....
or do you have a link?
cheers, karolj

hi guys,
i need your opinion. i have implemented the basic control concepts...it differens as far as i know from the original konami one...
in my version you can control your ship with just left and right direction of the joystick... what do you think? enough? or do you want the original konami controls? (where you have to move the stick like in gyruss...)
http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/k_nadj.../timepilot.html
the zip contains time5.atr which has the new controlls...dont get the flickering wrong... it is my "2600 emulation"
btw. the clouds are in time5 half size... do you like`'em? -
just a small hint:
if you want to read the document files which are on some ATR images or even source files:
under an atari dos you could do this:
c (copy file) filename (f.e. logos.doc), e: (for the editor)
but it is stupid to read the doc on atari emulated screen so why not make a "virtual" printout.
you can config atari800win 3.0 in that way that the atari printer device "p:" will be redirected to f.e. notepad and the characters will be automaticly translated from atascii into pc format...
just for some newbies...

here it is with small tutorial... i have taken the timepilot title screen as an example

have fun...
