    When I'm reading the forums on my iPad or phone, I don't see any way to follow a topic (without replying) from the mobile theme. I have to click on the Full Version button and then follow the topic there. Is there any way to do it from the mobile version?

    THANK YOU everyone who has responded! I'm making good progress. I still cannot compile or run my program from within vbB, however I can compile it using the command line and I can run my .bin file in Stella directly. I'm now learning about collision detection...

    Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of help getting bB to work. I just installed it, and Visual bB today, and was trying to get my first little program to compile. Unfortunately, when I try to compile or run it, I'm getting the following error message: [12/21/2011 5:50:36 PM] saving C:\batari_BASIC\SampleProject\default.bas succeeded. System path does not include C:\batari_BASIC\bB Precompilation failed, aborted at 12/21/2011 5:50:37 PM I have checked my environment variables, and I do indeed have the bB folder in my PATH. I searched this forum for others who may have had the same problem and I found a couple of messages, but no definite solution other than to make sure that the path to bB has no spaces in it (which I did). I admit that I'm new to this and have probably missed something obvious. I'm not a very experienced programmer. I used to do some coding for work, but that was a very long time ago. I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

    I remember way back when, when I used to write code for the Atari 800 and also the Commodore 64. Although it was possible to write better programs (and much faster ones) in assembly, doing so was far more difficult than using BASIC, so I and many others used BASIC. I never did really get the hang of assembly.

    Point taken. Although I've never been as big a fan of Space Armada. The sprites always seemed too large. Besides which, was that one ever released for the 2600? I only remember it being on the Intellivision.

    I, for one, never claimed that the 2600 version of Space Invaders matched the arcade, only that I like it better. In fact, it's the differences that make me prefer it.

    Looks like that screenshot was from a Supercharger game.

    Space Invaders, Warlords.

    The words "particle physics" and "excitement" rarely go together... http://t.co/TWVd4ysc

    Someone vandalized our Christmas decorations (again), knocking down and mangling our lighted reindeer. I managed to fix them, more or less.

      That is the best idea I've heard yet!

      Where the fuck do you live? Time to set up a security cam and see who those dipshits are!

      I live in an otherwise nice neighborhood in Tampa, Florida. We do have some security cameras, but unfortunately they cover the front of the house, not the yard.

    We're at the Japanese steakhouse for Beth's b'day and she's selling wallets to the ladies sitting next to her.

    Hmmmm... I'm still not seeing the new Twitter. I am hoping that it will be an improvment over the old UI, which I do not much care for.

    I haven't seen the documentary, but Racing the Beam is a fantastic book, very well worth reading, even if you're not ever planning on trying to develop for the 2600. I really enjoyed reading it and it's on my "need to read again" list.

    Looks like an Atari 400/800 cartridge. Can't tell which one.

    Very excited that San Diego State is moving to the Big East. Hopefully I'll get to see them in Tampa now playing against USF.

      Big east is the most COMPETETIVE conference period.

      The Big East just gave Texas permission to join the B1G Ten.

      Well, San Diego is further east than Reno.

    I completely agree with the recommendation for Superman. It is a very fun and totally underrated game, in my view. My best times, back in the day, were all under one minute.

    It's 40 degrees this morning. Would someone please turn the heat back on?

      40 degrees is pretty warm, it's 26 where I am.

      That's just too cold for me! Water may freeze at 32, but I freeze at 60. :)

    Huh. For some reason, Groupon decided I was in Austin instead of Tampa and was sending emails with deals for that area instead.
