Savetz Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Ed Fries has graciously sent me the source code for 5 assembly language programs, and released the code under an open source license. Sea Chase, Anteater, and Princess and Frog were all published by Romox: https://github.com/savetz/edfries-seachase https://github.com/savetz/edfries-anteater https://github.com/savetz/edfries-frog Nitro was to be published by Romox but the company went out of business before Ed could finish it. Who can get it working? https://github.com/savetz/edfries-nitro "I made a chess program for fun at one point." I don't know if he finished it. Who can get it working? https://github.com/savetz/edfries-chess -Kay 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savetz Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Bonus from Ed: "I attached some that say basic. I have no idea what you will find there. Maybe some of my stuff mixed with other people’s stuff typed in from magazines, etc. I hope someone finds it fun to look through this stuff." Let me know what you find on these! -Kay basic.xfd basic2.xfd basic3.xfd 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just as a reference, here's a proto of Sea Chase which, IIRC, was found on one of the PAPIE disks: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-sea-chase_34589.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I ported the chess code to XASM and patched calls to OSB EOUTCH to get it working on XL/XE machines. It takes a while to draw the first move: edfries-chess-xasm.xex The code includes a flag you can set to view the moves it is considering which is interesting to watch: edfries-chess-xasm-view.xex Source for the port is here: https://github.com/lybrown/edfries-chess-xasm 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
