Sorry about your Internet issues, but I'm glad to hear that it's not something like a power outage, after all. 19 hours ago, Albert said: That's crazy. I've never had an outage like that before! ..Al It turns out it was my network card on the computer and it was only solved by unplugging the computer from power. I remembered about an hour or so after the failed attempt to stream that simply rebooting the computer doesn't completely stop power from flowing to the network card! After that the speeds were back up to 100%. Unfortunately just before I streamed today for the rescheduled show the network card was acting up again and I had to power down again to fix it. Time for a new non-motherboard network card! - James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible the sheer number of edits for that post is causing a problem with my being able to view the edits. I will need to file a support ticket to ask Invision to help me with that. If they are unable to, I have database backups that would contain most of what's missing. ..Al 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we just reveal it now since I don't have time (or ROM) to put in another secret code input screen? Either way, looking forward to the show! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching you play and struggle with no means to figure out which 16 drinks are implemented was educational. I realized that I could add all kind of sensible drinks and just let Elvira say Ooh when you make something drinkable. That would let me fit in a lot of drinks in the game without running out of memory. As the DrunkWitch is a very simple piece of code I plan to use it to learn to code in hearts bubbling up from bottom of the screen. My guess is that I need to learn to code holey graphics. The show also thought me that I have to learn how to provide dual soundtracks for TIA. Like PAL + NTSC. It sounded terrible on NTSC yesterday. Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald were turning in their graves yesterday. I just decided to make my sources for DrunkWitch public. The code is pretty simple and it is all written in C using my cc65 compiler for the 7800. A good example could help other programmers who like coding in C. -- Enjoy -- DrunkWitch source code The repository contains the Lynx version in the main level DrunkWitch. And the 7800 version in the subdirectory DrunkWitch/7800. Happy New Year, And thanks for keeping homebrew development interesting with your blogs and awards. Edit: I fixed these things now and here is a new binary that addresses the NTSC vs PAL shortcomings that irritated me.
