Kaz atarionline.pl Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi guys, just to let you know that the next fantastic game is coming for 8-bit Atari. Krzysztof "xxl" Dudek decided yesterday to port "Knight Lore"! It will be port from BBC Micro computer (not ZX Spectrum this time). Progress is incredible - xxl had a partially working game after 3 hours. You can find more details here (in Polish only, sorry!) ) and short movie from Atari emulator here. No xex file at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allas Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Why did choice the BBC computer? It's a 6502 computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 bbc has 6502... is Elite! bbc version done in basic or in MC? is the Elite source not public for the arcon version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) is Elite! bbc version done in basic or in MC? is the Elite source not public for the arcon version? Elite must be converted to A8! In the topic "vote against a game", apart voting against 3 games, I also voted for 3 games and Knight Lore was the first of my list! What I win? An autographed copy? Thank you! Edited December 29, 2007 by Philsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Elite bbc sources: http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/bbc/index.htm (what a "professional looking" webdesign... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunsen Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Elite must be converted to A8! XXL, please don't port Elite. I don't have that time to play it all day and night long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 XXL great work!!! Elite XL sounds great too. This game actually is the only reason, my STE gets out of it´s shrine from time to time... It plays better there than on my "towered" Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasholzer Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 i played Elite on C64, and it sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 lol, i wondered how long it would take before everyone shouts Elite! I think it would please a L O T of people to see Elite appear. Also, Thrust was released on the BBC. As we have mentioned in the recent past, it would be really good to see a correct hi-res version of Thrust on the A8. Most of the Ultimate games were done on the BBC. soon we will have Knight Lore! xxl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 and Elite can be done faster... I guess we have little bit more horsepower to avoid the c64 flickering elite gfx engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz atarionline.pl Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 There are many 6502 coders around here. Why YOU cannot convert BBC games? I'm sure that xxl is not able to convert all games from our wish-list... Help him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have mentioned in the recent past, it would be really good to see a correct hi-res version of Thrust on the A8. It might be better to look at the C16 version of Thrust, if it only uses half a character set it should port over easily enough and it wedges into about 12K so less to convert. Plus i get to be all smug 'cos i watched the C16 port being coded. =-) and Elite can be done faster... I guess we have little bit more horsepower to avoid the c64 flickering elite gfx engine... Directly porting the code'll make it flicker on the Atari too, a stock 32K BBC can't double buffer so the code doesn't either. The C64 is a port of that code too, that's where the flicker comes from, nobody fixed it for two buffers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allas Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Those BBC games conversion should be run without any problem on NTSC machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miker Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 There will be BBC-tutorial shortly, so everyone will be able port almost everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) Perhaps TMR and Wrathchild could post something about porting things (code gfx/sonix etc) from the c64 to the A8 Edited December 30, 2007 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
