Thanks for checking it out 👍

It's certainly quite a strange one as everything on the face of it looks right...

Hi @R_Leo_1 - sorry I haven't had a change to get back to help with this. Sorry can you post the compile log again for this one?

*** PLAY THE DEMO *** Final playable demo is now available in JS7800 (thanks @raz0red).

Great job Chris - came up really well! Enjoy 👍

Hi everyone, Unfortunately not much to report on Arkanoid development ATM as my work has been busy the past month. But with the latest release of 7800basic we now have another controller option - Trakball! So the game will have the following controller options: Joystick Paddles Driving Wheel Trakball Amiga Mouse ST Mouse Phew! Thanks again to @RevEng for his huge work on the controllers the past few months - all are easily configurable and run beautifully! Also special thanks to @sramirez2008 for his extensive library of controllers and for testing!

A new release (v0.6.3) is now available with the following changes: Updated 7800basic to v0.15 (Windows, Linux, macOS) Thanks again to @RevEng for another great update to 7800basic! Also posting this release fixed the stuck validation on the extension in the Visual Studio marketplace so you should receive it in the normal manner 👍

Thanks @R_Leo_1. Was just doing a search and found a topic where you previously raised something similair 7800 Basic Compiler Warning Help? - Atari 7800 Programming - AtariAge Forums. SmittyB and RevEng thought that message might be something you could potentially ignore. From the log it does appear to be compiling so maybe it's still affecting something. Some questions What package are you using to export your gfx? Can you do a very stripped back project and see if individual images display? There is a reboot call in dmahole 1 - is that getting activated? Things to try Try putting the incgraphic entries at the very top of the bank before setting any dmaholes There isn't a lot of code so maybe remove dmahole 1

No problem guys -just sorry I didn't pick it up earlier.

Made sure the image you want to export is selected in the editor, click the Export button on the toolbar and then click the 'Export selected only' button. You will need the very latest version released today for it to work!

The update is currently being validated my Microsoft (occasionally this happens and may take a few hours). Direct download here! Installing from VSIX

Looks like the update has been blocked for some reason - probably an out of date module. Investigating shortly...

@R_Leo_1 Can you post your compile log?

Pleasure Darryl - it's certainly helped me! Enjoy and welcome! If you click on the Home/Welcome button on the toolbar it will open a page providing a link off to RT's pages for both 7800basic and bB. Still thinking about how this might be integrated without duplicating anything. I could add a lookup option to go to the reference on RT's pages. Will add that to my list!

A new release (v0.6.2) is now available with the following changes: Fixed error exporting to png images (TwentySixHundred, darryl1970, Muddyfunster) Sorry about that one guys - it appears Typescript Buffer function no longer liked converting an object (well an array) automatically so I've ended up sending through a base64 string instead. The spriteEditor is javascript so everything comes through as an object/any type. arrr.... [Update] The update is currently being validated my Microsoft (occasionally this happens and may take a few hours). Direct download here!

Ok there seems to be a change converting the image data into a 'Buffer' (to write out to file). That function no longer works regardless of the extension installed by the looks. Trying to find a work around.

Sorry everyone looking at it now...

Hey Lewis, Looking good mate - certainly is tough but I'll need a bit more practice to progress! I do feel that the collision area on the right side of the ship might still be a little large though?

Finally received my new soldering station and got some time this weekend to install the AntiJack + UAV PAL into my 7800. Picture on both the 7800 and 2600 is looking great and the both the Pokey and TIA sound is working beautifully. Next up is spending to time tuning and enjoying the mod. Thanks @juansolo and @marauder666 for spending quite some time analysing, putting this together and sending it to the other side of the world for me to try out. I've started playing around and doing a udemy course in KiCad - once I get a bit further I might look to put together some PCBs unless you guys have already started looking at that 👍

🤪 Sorry Anthony for some reason I had Karl G in my head logging that! Sorry rough start this morning!!

Thanks Karl - I'll take a look. Sorry mate you keep finding issues 😞 I'm not sure you can delete them but all good!

Hi - thanks for using the extension! The peek/goto definition/references doesn't really work for assembly commands only for your code labels but as you have seen the hover tooltip gives you further information about these instead! If you want to see this as document in full, here is the actual file used by ADS (contributed by Mats @ SmallRoomLabs who provided the initial hover process): https://github.com/chunkypixel/atari-dev-studio/blob/master/hovers/6502.md Hope that helps!

Good luck with it Vinnie!

A new release (v0.6.1) is now available with the following changes: Added new 7800basic keywords: drawhiscores (attract|single|player1|player2) (Karl G) and added code completion for item Updated hover tooltips for 7800basic keywords Fixed issue with batch file generating multiple terminal windows (Karl G) Added compiler files verification with anti-virus note and consolidated file list with file permission check (batari Basic and 7800basic) For those using the make/batching process I believe I have fixed the multiple terminal windows generating - the handle was not being disposed of (perhaps a recent change in VS Code). Also the very latest release 1.49 has added some additional functionality to the terminal window so I may now be able to do some additional things (we'll see). I've also added a file exists check for all compiler files for bB and 7800basic so this should now help highlight that some of these files are now unlawfully! captured by anti-virus software.

Great idea @-^CrossBow^-! Do the ends come from old 7800 power supplies?
