I noted there's a red bar below the videos on Youtube. First, I don't get it until I figured out. The red bar is how long time you watched a video. A full red bar is you watched a full video.
A new episode of Isabella's vlog is out. Watch the movie: http://robingravel.byethost15.com/vbella10.htm Video version: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4zfute_isabella-s-vlog-isabella-s-new-old-computer_fun Robin Gravel
I bought both Visa and MasterCard gift cards. I have no problem with my MasterCard giftcard. All the online stores accept MasterCard giftcards. Otherwise, I really have issues with my Visa giftcard. Almost all online stores won't accept Visa giftcards. I will spend the rest of the money in my Visa giftcard buying in stores where Visa is accepted. MasterCard giftcards are my favorite.
I bought a Sony Vaio in 2009 with Blu-Ray drive. Seven years later, DVDs are still popular. I thought Blu-Ray drives prices are dropped but there're still have DVD players today.
I made a room editor for my colecovision game. It would be easier to design rooms. With this editor, you can export codes to make the game like this. Just copy and past these codes to your programs. I noted CCI supports only strings with 256 characters. But this is still fine. Instead writing 24 lines of codes just to display in the full screen, just one string will fill up 8 lines. I only need three strings to full the screen. I'm not sure if a colecovision game can handle
With the help of Kiwi, I can now go all colecovision screen modes. This new rom will go all screen modes. modes.rom Just wait for a moment, the program will switch to another screen mode.
I spent all the day if I can use all screen modes on Colecovision Modes 1 and 2 are easy. But I can't get screen o and 3. Mode 0: Reg/Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 - - - - - - M2 EXTVID 1 4/16K BL IE M1 M3 - SI MAG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 vdp_out(0,0); vdp_out(0,0xA0); I disabled BL because screen 0 h
Now my room is more enjoyable. The colecovision palette is limited and hard to make a nice picture. Feel free to try this new rom. preview01.rom If you wait a little, a new room will show up.
It's a long way to learn how to make Colecovision games. At least, I made few progress. This level layout is boring for the moment but I will improve it. I first want to make Atari 2600 games but the 2600 is not my taste because, the joystick only has one button. The play field on 2600 is just blank and boring and it does not support texts, or ASCII.
I started learning programming on Colecovision.
Here my Hello World program.
hello.rom
Of course, you need a Colecovision emulator to run it.
Next step: making a Colecovision game.
