Re: Oric-1 Reborn - Possible Project?

most recreation projects stopped before any actual working product was made. I think this is the case with most projects of this type. Either feature creep, or realising the product is far more expensive than initially envisaged. Unless one is really cheap, I will stick with real hardware or the em...

Oric-1 Reborn - Possible Project?

Good morning all, Its been a while since I've posted due to now entering the third year of my degree and having time for Oric stuff has been diminished, but I still take a peek (pun intended) around the forums and try to keep up to date with developments. If this post is in the wrong category or not...

Re: Wolfenstein / DOOM for Oric : has this been done?

Excellent effort,

Like you said, with some recoding of the C part into assembly would allow possibly faster rendering and some sort of gameplay thrown in there.

Without knowing how the mapping part works, even a dungeon master style game looks more than feasable.

Re: Oric extender - a basis for DIY projects and experiments

I only hope this doesn't supplant the Twilighte/orix efforts. I don't think it will, I see it more as a develpment tool to test new hardware etc., before coming up with a final design. Will save a lot of messing around with breadboards and wires and such. Thats how I see it anyway, and becasue a lo...

Re: Oric extender - a basis for DIY projects and experiments

This looks like a good experimenters board and one I would like to have. I'd happily pay for 1 of the pcbs. 3 questions. Does it get power from the Oric expansion port, or use an external supply? The (what looks like) an arduino, could I use something different in its place such as an ESP32. I would...

Re: Hypothetical - Huge Text Adventure in 48K

You are certainly correct chema and I didnt really think I was coming up with anything new. I didnt know however that it had been implemented in any way on the Oric, which it sounds like it was. While you mention it, Blakes 7 is a great game even if I can't get very far and I wonder if games like th...

Hypothetical - Huge Text Adventure in 48K

The thread about a new text adventure coming soon set me thinking as to whether you could squeeze more out of 48k then first thought. I'll outline my what I was thinking and my possible solution . Its all hypothetical, and it may have been done before anyway, but theres nothing like re-inventing the...

Re: Image mapping : Peer review needed

I maybe thinking about this all wrong, or someone may have said the same thing in a different way, but couldnt you use your calculations to generate a set of look-up tables to create offset to map the image onto the face of the object. I'll see if I can explain it in a logical way that makes sense t...

Re: CEO Meet Autumn 2020

Unfortunately a reflection on the poor eduction in language of the 1980's in England, considering Fench was mandatory until age 14. I can just about ask "where is the railway station?" and "My name is". Will there be a rough agenda and timings with english / french parts listed s...

So cool and explanatory :) Thank you for your efforts :) You really did it :) Thankyou, I enjoyed the challenge. :D My attempt isnt quite correct, but does produce interesting patterns.

Re: Artist Oric

Here is the next version. Plotting 2 different frequencies of simple harmonic motion. One on x-axis, one on y-axis. The 2 acceleration variables are input on running GX and GY. Not quite what the OP was looking for but I think I got fairly close (ish). :D It's very slow so I would recomend at least ...

Re: Artist Oric

I saw this and thought what an interesting challenge. I started out by making a pendulum swing on a string which is the code below. I would advise running this at at least 8X acceleration in oricutron, although with the 2 draw commands and the wait removed it is not that bad on 1Mhz. 10 HIRES 20 GR=...
