Here in Brazil a few guys are producing Colecovision games, versions from old arcade games, to be released in cartridge format in CGE. They told me the costs...
All, I've started putting together documentation for the new additions to SDK-1600, specifically the macro facility and the recent tweaks to AS1600. I've...
All, I've just added two more operators to AS1600: STRLEN(string) and ASC(string, index). STRLEN(string) gives the length of the string as a constant...
All, Please bang on this! I've placed an alpha release of SDK-1600 Release 4 here: http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/dl/sdk1600_4_alpha0.zip Missing from...
... Also missing from this alpha are the tweaks required for building on MacOS X. I will revisit the required changes and make sure it's building on MacOS X...
All, SDK-1600 is getting pretty big -- the zip file is nearly 2MB now! I'm considering dividing it up into six ZIP files: -- SDK-1600 core. This has all the...
Joe - In my opinion, 2MB is still pretty small for downloading a piece of software these days. I think if you were to split it up into the 6 volumes you...
... If nothing else, I may split Windows from non-Windows. (eg. have a "baseline", and then separate downloads with MacOS X or Linux binaries that overlay the...
All, This a beta version of 'Stonix', a breakout game pretty close to the all-known 'Arkanoid' (functionally speaking). I've NOT yet tried it under an actual...
I just played it on Nostalgia. I love it! I am so addicted to Arkanoid, it's silly. The sounds are great, and the gameplay feels good. I'm going to go...

The only thing I notice that's kind of weird is, when the ball hits the side of the paddle it just kind of goes through it instead of bouncing off. Kind of...

... I have a similar "bug" in Pong. (I put "bug" in quotes since it's not strictly a bug, but rather a surprising "feature".) The behavior in my version of...
... Yes, that's right. It happens when the ball is already too low to bounce on the paddle. I should make a 'dx = -dx' so that it properly bounce out of the...
... One of my first games in Pascal was an Arkanoid type thing, and that's exactly what I did. If the ball hit the side of the paddle, I left dy alone and...

... Tee hee. A friend and I were writing a clone of Scorched Earth back in that time frame called "Nuk' Em". We didn't get very far, and the source code went...
... Of course from just a practical point of view, there isn't really any point in the ball bouncing off the side of the bat, because you still lose! I think...
... This is true, but from a 'feel' standpoint, it's really weird. For example, just now the ball hit the left side of the paddle as I was moving left. The...

... Ohh! I've very excited to try this out. When I get home from work this evening i'll try it on my Intellicart and give you a full report. Ryan...
... That's cool. I hope it works fine on an actual Intellivision. So far, I tried it under Kinty, jzIntv, IntvDos and the Bliss applet. Should be ok. I'm using...
... I think this is great! I just tried it on my Intellicart and it is working wonderfully. I am finding it very hard to play with only one paddle speed....
... Coolness :) ... Ok. I was actually thinking about something similar. You've convinced me to add this feature on my todo list. I'll need to tune that with a...
I can't wait to try out Stonix on my Intellicart tonight. I love Arkanoid type games too. Just curious where you got the name from? I can help you testing,...
Hi Joe Zbiciak. I think my post got lost in the shuffle. Just curious if a lunar playable demo is available yet or do you not plan on releasing it yet? The...
... No playable demo yet, sorry. Also, no ETA. I haven't had a chance to work on it much the last month or so. February was hectic. I did manage to squeeze...
... Maybe you could get one of those keychain USB drives that are pretty cheap and are becoming commonplace now. I've been considering one of those as an easy...
... Moving files around isn't the problem. I have wireless Ethernet in both laptops and a small network at home. :-) Actually, I'll admit, my biggest...
... Arnauld - Excellent work! When I got home from work, I played the unreleased Mattel "Brickout" for Intellivision for about 15 minutes to build up...
