Howdy folks! I've just released a little 100-meter dash BASIC game. Larry and Julius are somehow sort of back... this time as sprinters. 8) You can download the game's D64 image, the source code and a (somewhat verbose) foreword from my blog. Cheers

Hello and thanks for your interest in my ditty. Its aim (as revealed in in the verbose accompanying notes which only the bravest can survive reading) was to write a simplistic dice rolling routine and port it on all the 8-bit systems I had the chance to lay my hands on when I was a kid (plus a few more) with as little changes to the code as possible, so given it has to run on a 1K ZX-80, it is somehow expected that it does not take advantage of the capabilities of the more powerful machines. And it is what it is: just a substitute for a pair of actual dice which happened to be nowhere to be found in the whole household (still are). So there is no built in game to win or lose, that is up to the player to provide ? Cheers (but no cheeseburger for me, just a beer, thanks!) ?

Does this qualify?

I've ported a simple dice game to a good number of 8-bit systems of the '70s/'80s, including the Atari 400/600/800. The complete package can be downloaded from here. Cheers

Thanks! That was it.

Howdy. POKE 754,255 does not seem to work in Altirra when I select Atari 400/800 as the emulated system. I'd need to clear the keyboard buffer before reading the keyboard with OPEN#. Do I need to poke a different location?
