What the title says

 

Please answer or reveal yourself, I invoke you.

[+intvnut]

At this exact microsecond, me.

 

I can't guarantee much beyond that, though. I've been like a crack-addled squirrel lately.

Tell me your idea for a small game you've already did it

[+intvnut]

Was gonna say... "Crack Addled Squirrel" at least sounds like a starting point...

 

[nanochess]

Well, this squirrel is really on a trip.

 

It runs as fast as it can and you should jump to avoid rocks.

 

If you endure enough, you'll see his girlfriend

 

P.S: No sound... yet...

Me!

Me!

Unfortunately the genie vanished after appearing magically a squirrel game.

Kewl!

Quick question on the code - why don't you need "debounce" for the control?

 

Thanks.

Debouncing isn't needed for joystick control or keypad control (if you are using it in game)

 

It's a word used to describe the effect of pushing a key and getting multiple repeats on screen, so typically debouncing is only used in static screens.

 

This is commonly handled in IntyBASIC games using this:

 

WHILE cont.key = 12:WAIT:WEND ' Wait till key is pressed

key = cont.key ' take note

WHILE cont.key <> 12:WAIT:WEND ' Wait till key is depressed

Right here! I'm trying to decide which system to jump into for my first project: Atari 2600, Intellivision or Colecovision.

[First Spear]

Don't wait! The Intellivision has the best looking developers. You want to be here.

I am reading it right now. Earlier today I wanted to test something in IntyBASIC and ended up with 100+ rows of code... but the test was successful!

I'm reading here now and then. But I'm no programmer. Just looking what you geniuses are up to!

[DZ-Jay]

Not me!

 

Oh wait!

I recently moved to a new country so have bee absent, but am now back to reading this on a daily basis to see what new is up.

Welcome back!

 

I also was away for several months due to having lost my computer to an electrical storm. I just recently got a replacement, so I am now back and active.

 

However, I typically provide ideas, suggestions, feedback, and some general technical advice; but cannot help directly on IntyBASIC matters, since I do not use it myself. Now, if anybody have a programming question related to Assembly Language, I may be of assistance.
