JAC! Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hmm, actually I hardly have time but maybe NYD is the right place for something that originates back from 1990 and never found a home. It's a small story about a baththing cap (<= really, replase don't ask why...). But one day the disk drive broke and took the source with itself. A year later I tried to disassemble the whole things from an early executable, but then I gave up half way. Just look at the labels Maybe I can make a litte fun prod out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Peter, great to read about your plans So we will have at least 3 entries, as rybags sent me a preview of something cool for NYD some days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaPa Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I would like to do something too, but still waiting for some inspiration and getting the laziness off from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I plan to submit something, I have vacation starting on the 22nd. That will give me a few days to come up with something super sucky (probably a lame scroller with no sound ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We need an Atari version of that Flash game where you shoot the cat out of a cannon. Someone needs to address this shortfall in the catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author said it´s only a first entry for this years nyd Some days ago I got a very nice beta from another one. Very promising! I did a little title screen for that - so at least one thing I have done yet Hope to have the other things ready right, when they have to be ready. OK, yesterday I got some idea and today started working on it... let's see if I'll manage to do it and do it in time and if you will like it PS. Hey PG wake up! I need help I´ll bet your entry will rock us all again! i am working on something, too... Give it to us... give it to us... (hmm what song this comes from?!?)

MaPa Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) ...but I'm slacking a bit hehe "just" waiting for PG to wake up from winter sleep and give me some nice gfx and msx and then... then I'll realize that my idea is not working... I guess it will be tough work because PG will surely send me some data like just on the last day of this year Edited December 25, 2010 by MaPa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 ... another wip arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm almost a week behind where I'd have liked to have been. But hopefully it'll only be 5 hours or so of work to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 btw. when I am done... I should not release it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No... the intention usually is that it's all released in one go, and no sneak previews etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pps Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 btw. when I am done... I should not release it, right? No... the intention usually is that it's all released in one go, and no sneak previews etc. Yes, it´s right the way rybags describes The first editions where started right at xmas eve, but it seems to be better to have a bit more time to code, so I decided to start the event earlier. So maybe we get a bit more entries - or aybe not more, but on higher coding level? The deadline is set to dec. 31st, so I have some hours to collect all entries and put them together for a release right when the new year starts. The last editions have been online about noon CET. Then even the last people have their new year arrived (somewhere in the wide wide ocean - maybe Samoa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 5 hours of work? It usually takes me longer to find some annoying bug in the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 my contribution has just been sent to PPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 my contribution has just been sent to PPS. ... and was tested on real hardware (130 XE PAL) - it runs fine Not that we have a desaster as last year, where many things didn´t run on real hw in the right way. I even found out that this years invitro doesn´t work right on real thing too - but every emulator runs it fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 pps, even with Altirra 1.8 final release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaPa Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) My intro runs on emulators fine too but on real HW is broken (as usual, it seems to me that every bit of code what I write, runs fine only in emus and not real HW even it is something rather simple and not extraordinary). I managed to fix it somehow but I don't understand what's wrong. I hope someone will investigate it later and tell me why Edited December 30, 2010 by MaPa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) pps, even with Altirra 1.8 final release? Hmm, I have a beta release... wait... it´s release: 1.8-test28 Maybe the other computer has a later version, but on both of my pc it runs fine on all emus I have (atari++ 1.58, atariwin+ 4.0 and the above mentioned Altirra) I hope someone will investigate it later and tell me why Maybe JAC! has some time for that - he did a great job for the last edition.

Tezz Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was previously using test28 too, when Avery released the final version recently it showed that there was a small timing error in one of my interrupts that was running fine under the previous versions and the other emulators so I quickly checked it on the real hardware and it was indeed incorrect! Here's the thread for the final 1.8 release: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/174242-altirra-18-released/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaPa Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Yes, running fine on Altirra 1.8 and on real HW has problems. I removed the fix so I hope it is it as I don't have how to test it on real hw right now. Edited December 30, 2010 by MaPa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yes, running fine on Altirra 1.8 and on real HW has problems. I removed the fix so I hope it is it as I don't have how to test it on real hw right now.You could perhaps send the executable to Avery to help discover the emulation error to be fixed for the next release and the answer will also help you discover the bug too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
