GoSub for Oric BASIC

[+atari2600land]

Having made GoSub with Atari BASIC, I'm trying my hand in Oric BASIC. It's a lot different, as there doesn't seem to be a very easy way to make sprites, so "=" is the sub, "M" is the octopus, and "-" is the walls. You *do* have an Oric emulator, right?

I recommend Euphoric. You can download it here under "Euphoric." I have updated the game so it now has 2 screens. To get this and all other updates, just click the link in the first post.

Major update: now instead of letters, the sub, octopus, and treasure look more like a sub, octopus and treasure!

Major necroposting here, but I just started back into programming for the Oric again after two years. I've added some actual coral and fixed a few bugs while I was at it. You can download it here. So, what do you think?

I love the Oric.

 

I'm going to test you soft as soon as possible!

That's interesting.

 

I've a book with listings of games in BASIC for the Oric computer... but I've never own an Oric computer. I've used these listings for testing purpose by porting them in C language based on ColecoVision capabilities to test my devkit in evolution back then for various optimisations purpose. With these small simple games, I've made CV Gamepack#1, but only owners of the same book for Oric computer can really appreciate the result, because the reaction from the fans was that I should make big hits again for the ColecoVision... not knowing why I did that project in the first place, which is sad.

 

Well, keep going with this project, it looks like you've a lot of fun!

I don't have an Oric myself, I'm doing this via the Euphoric emulator. I think it'd be cool to actually own one, but I've read they weren't available here in the U.S.

They can be mainly found in England and France.

 

It was en English Brand and then bought by a France Company.

 

There are 3 models , i think, that have been officially released.

 

1 Oric 1

2 Oric Atmos

3 Telestrat (also known as Stratos) .

 

The Telestrat had Teletext feature and could be used a Teletext server.

 

The most commun is the Atmos. That's a very charming computer with same really good game in fact. Very funny to program , with a pretty good Basic and really good to learn 6502 assembleur. there are no sprites , but you can redifine charset and to very nice thing.

 

One game has been released recently for that machine, based on TV show : Cosmos 99 (Space 99).

 

here the intro of the game :

 

 

Here a demo of the game play :

 

 

I love that machine. I own one Oric 1 and few Atmos . Unfornully no telestrat.

 

If you want buy one, target the Atmos. easier to find , and keyboard is lot better than oric 1 .
