Re: New source code repository on OSDN.net

HI DBug, Funny that nobody asked the question, so here I am: why the choice of OSDN ??? To be honest, that's the first time I hear of it, I understand it was known as SourceForge.JP before (and indeed I stumbled on some Japanese text in some pages, and also when registering I think I read something ...

Re: A little game like Driver.

Nice little game Kenneth, I'm just seeing this now, didn't notice it when you first posted about it back in 2012!

Anyway, moving the car around is easy, using arrow keys, but.. How do you fire at enemy cars ??

Hi guys, Well spotted Chema and Symoon, how stupide of myself, I should have remebered that /b option !! :oops: As for "file joiner", I dunno what's the problem coolman66, maybe your antivirus being a bit fussy? I use Avast myself, and it didn't flag it as malware or anything. And as far a...

Re: OSDK 1.15

Well, there are two concerns here: 1) there seems to be a bug (or bugs) with optimizing the macros output by the compiler in aggressive -O3 optimization mode, with changes introduced by Fabrice as of OSDK 1.14. This is the most serious issue. 2) More generally, it seems indeed there is room for opti...

Re: merging files

PS - to answer your question about merging files: With the Windows command line prompt, you can ONLY merge TEXT files, using the following syntax: COPY file1.txt + file2.txt + file3.txt merged.txt For merging binary files, you need a separate utility. I tried "File Joiner", which is a free...

Re: OSDK 1.15

Hi DBug, and thanks for this new OSDK version. I can confirm my ElectrOric test programme compiles and executes fine in -O2 mode with OSDK 1.15, however there are still runtime bugs if I compile in -O3 mode (as was the case with the 1.14-patched version of the compiler which I believe you just carri...

Re: Bocco's adventures

Another thought on this: While searching the forum for some old topics about cc65 to gather some information, I came across this one: Questions to CC65 users There is a very important piece of info in it, examplified in the first reply by iss in which he demonstrates that cc65 cleverly optimizes cal...

Re: Bocco's adventures

Well, If you look at the code on GitHub, you can see there are quite a lot of functions, many of them taking many parameters, even including "int" parameters for some of them... Yet, cc65 seems to generate code that is both quite compact and fast. On the latter point if would be interestin...

Re: Bocco's adventures

Ok, I've just finished level 3, I spent some time trying to figure out how to progress until I found the wicked little trick to get to the switch !! :lol:

Now I will get some graph paper and a pencil and start thinking of a new level design for you!! :)

+1 for the Oric Gamebase as suggested by iss, this is the perfect answer to coolman66's needs. Just a remark though, the latest version of the Oric gamebase is v3.0 -- see the following topic: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1207 Not sure if the download link still works thou...
