You could also cheat with the perspective, and making sure that the base line of the foliage of the trees starts at the same position whatever the distance.

I did my duty :) About the rating, I guess the problem is that we don't have many people voting, so one single person not liking a game can put it down badly. But well, does not change anything to the fact that 2010 has been a particularly good year with an impressively high level of quality, toppin...

NOTE: The "Painting Tricks" forum in the Graphics section would have been a better choice :) It's true that for any byte of the screen you have to choose between GRAPHICS or ATTRIBUTE. So yes when you change the color, the full 6 pixels of this byte are going to use the curent color of th...

That's a good question.

I'd say that if the printer has a parallel/centronics port, it should work.
My last printer had only USB, so it definitely would not work.

May the productivity of our software and hardware designer be as impressive as it was in 2010

The Rambo scene is not auto-scrolling I guess ?

Hello, there's not been much traffic these few last days, guess everybody is either busy preparing the Christmas celebration or on some top secret Oric projects :) I know there's a least one big game in the making, and myself is working on a small demo for next year (right now I'm working on a music...

There are versions of Bas2Tap with added features like "colored comments" and (more useful) "labels" instead of line numbers.

Think that last one was written by Wascol

As a side note, you may also want to consider creating your BASIC program on your pc, using a nice comfortable text editor, and then use BASTOTAP to generate an Oric tape file that you can then load on the virtual Oric.

A common failure on the Atmos PSU is the fuse.

Mine blew up the first week of use, I drilled out the plastic caps, removed the screws, and replaced the fuse by... a wire :p (I was young and stupid), still it worked fine for years.

Guess you could give a brief explanation of what is necessary for making this platform definition file?

Asking on an Oric forum for a Nintendo Entertainment System platform definition file seems a bit strange to me.

I'm doing that as well :) Like in BuggyBoy I have this file just to define the content of all my big buffers in overlay memory. The important point is that you can have as many .text .zero or .bss sections you want, they will all be packed together. You don't have to respect a particular order eithe...

.bss cannot contain anything except "virtual zeros", so no it cannot be used for that. That being said, this code does what you are asking for: .text _main jsr CopyZeroPageRoutine jsr ZeroPageRoutine rts StartZeroPageRoutine *=$50 ZeroPageRoutine nop source lda $A000 sta $030F inc source+1...

There's actually ONE thing that really annoys me in oricutron at the moment, is that in the debugger the enter key of the numeric keypad is not accepted as a normal "enter" to validate inputs. Since I always enter numbers using the numpad, it's annoying to have to use the other far-far-way...
