+Karl G Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've gotten 5 email notifications from the tiki that are similar to this one: Plugin tag is pending approval on Session 5: Memory Architecture. See all the pending plugins in the plugin approval page. Plugin arguments: * tag: sup Plugin body: 16 It seems like it's something that should just go to an admin?

+Andrew Davie Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think this is now fixed. Was to do with a plugin - required approval to use and all registered users had the permission to approve. Please let me know if the issue continues, and my apologies for the inconvenience. Perils of new software, I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It took me a long time to fully understand how to do a 48-pixel routine, so I added a page for it to the Tiki. I'm not as experienced as many of you, so if anyone is willing to take the time to double-check my work, I'd appreciate it: http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=48-pixel-Image-Routine 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the sort of content I was hoping for, and you explain it way better than I could. There's a "Files" button on the bottom of each page, and that's where to attach things to keep them relevant (rather than an external link). I'll fix that up soon, and also review everything. But, in summarry, you've done a sterling job. Thanks again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll probably also add a tutorial for a 96-pixel "flickerblinds" kernel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I wonder if anyone will ever use/reference this stuff... I've made a collision matrix, which should make it easier to quickly lookup collision registers. http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=Collision-Registers Pretty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_79 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Seems like there's no "search" function for non logged in users? What about a place for discussing improvements and ideas for the wiki pages and post or link documentation to be used as reference? I think a club here on AA ("behind the woodgrain"? ?) would work perfectly for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After enabling the comments section, and meta section, the traffic on those sections increased considerably and started to take away from the core mission, a Q&A site for programming questions. Keep the woodgrain wiki focused on being a comprehensive reference for all things 2600 programming related. Maybe far in tne future open up forums for the site. A search tool would be useful though. If not, I hope Google can crawl the entire site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure requiring registration to use the search resource is such a bad thing. If you're so interested in the information, at least do the honourable thing and become a registered user to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_79 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I added a brief description about the Vertical Delay. I always found the Stella Programmer's Guide a bit confusing about this. Maybe it could be referenced when pages about the VDELxx registers are done. Perhaps my bad english will be an incentive for someone to register and fix it, and then add content to the tiki... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few formatting and linking to other stuff. But you've done 99% of it already. Thanks again. I've put it in the "technical" menu on the front page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could use GRP0 and GRP1 as RAM/storage, in a weird roundabout way and get some extra bytes of RAM. My thinking is... you write to them normally - when it comes time to read what's stored, you setup a collision pixel on the screen, position the sprites one pixel every frame and read the collision bit, rolling it into accumulator or wherever. Weird and completely useless but would work, I think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The same would work with the missiles and the ball, and playfield of course. And you could read NUSIZx registers that way too, also some bits of CTRLPF. Reading RESMx is also possible. And you could use the VDELed shadow registers and gain another 16 bits! Plus one bit from the ball. There was a thread about this somewhere on AtariAge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something's not quite right. I erroneously got credit for "Playfield Timing" which is by Micheal Rideout (@SeaGtGruff) instead. And, there's no need to credit me at all. I feel that might cause people to refrain from correcting, editing or rewrite that page, which is the point of a wiki. There's always the page history if someone wants to see who contributed.

Sorry about that. You could have fixed it ... wiki you know I'm trying to be careful about crediting people for their work/contributions but I do agree with your viewpoint here.

+Andrew Davie Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I've been spending a lot of time populating the tiki. Some of them are looking very nice -- to me, at least! A sample... PF0 http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=PF0 Collisions http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=Collision-Registers NUSIZ0 http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=NUSIZ0 TIA Overview http://www.taswegian.com/WoodgrainWizard/tiki-index.php?page=TIA I just figured out how to save full-page images - wasn't quite as automatic as I expected, as a number of sites that advertise they do it were either non-functional, functioning incorrectly or just plain missing. Anyway, this is a one-off I promise... some nice pages. I'd like to encourage everyone to contribute -- a few people are already doing so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
