    Could someone try these? I read one thread where a bB game didn't render well, so curious whether they would work.

     

    Note: 0.5 exploited a flaw that caused the ball to move randomly, which was neat.

    Those are the main ones. But, if you're on a roll, could also try the others:

    Thanks!

    Very slow progress, and not working, but here is the start so far:

    http://hbrewide.appspot.com/

     

    Looks like crap and all it does is move what you enter into the top to the bottom, but it is JRuby+Sinatra (so supports Java). Still need to learn how to do the following the Java-Google-AppEngine-way:

    * File upload (I found an example though that I can use)

    * File download (specifically after output by compiler)

    * Persist data via BigTable stuff in its API

     

    If I can just get to the point where I have a basic interface to store a file or more and compile and download bins I'll be happy, but I know that the bB compiler (and everything else) part is going to take a *lot* more work.

     

    Also, the UI sucks and there are no menus, etc. etc. I know. Just starting (after several hours (total at least over last few weeks) of trying various way to do stuff in AppEngine)... :)

     

    The goal is to have it support some basic compilation using a few different Atari related compilers written in Java (if possible).

    Also I vote for having some way of downloading images attached to forum topics instead of just viewing them. For example, I wanted to grab some art that I did that I attached to a forum post and add it to the gallery but I can't right-click and download it. Even if there were a download link in the preview that would be cool. I also tried to access the attachment directly by attempting to visit the URL from the page source but it tried to make me login even though I was already logged-in, so I assume that is only admin functionality?

    At this point, the thing to do is to send an email to him as he asked with the google checkout email you received when you ordered. If you don't do that, you may not get your order. If you keep complaining and sending him messages then it will just delay him. He is going to get to it. He's just got a lot more orders than originally expected.

    I take back what I said. I received a PM from the man himself! My joysticks are expected to be somewhere in the Aug 12-15 shipments. I'm cool now. All I needed was an acknowledgement. I really shouldn't have doubted him in the first place. He's definitely a class act and has always been a strong supporter of the Atari community.

    I can't wait!!! Will let everyone know when I get it.

    What recent releases/homebrews are worth getting?

     

    If you are into homebrews you should check out the 2600 programming and batari Basic sections of AtariAge. Lots of great stuff in development and that people have already shared. Rom Hunter was collecting homebrew roms for a while and providing them in a single download. It would be awesome if someone had time to continue doing that. I wish that there was a centralized place other that just the forums where these homebrew roms could be kept and distributed, tagged, etc. I think a lot of people are missing out on a lot of great games. JStella can be used for in-browser emulation (via Java) of a lot of them.

     

    Here are some of mine, but they're not that great:

    Midevil Mayhem is great: http://www.spiceware.org/atari_medieval_ma...lay_online.html

    Crap. Now I can't read any of the darn posts in this topic without having to select and scroll, select and scroll to see whether there is hidden text. Has there been other hidden text in posts that I missed? Maybe someone was making fun of me in hidden text and I didn't see it? What if Albert is hiding derogatory comments as <!-- comments --> within the page, and they've been there all along, silently mocking me. I'm going to bed tonight, but I don't think I'll sleep much.
