blackbox Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hello- in another thread sparkdrummer asked about a possible bug in the Not Polyoptics game ADDVANCE- not a bug but using a 1 GOTO 1 to end the game with a frozen display requiring a BREAK. The line is 2570 which is applied when one player reaches the target score- I'd suggest setting from 50 to 100 as a target! Having had a close look at the program and of course playtested it, it looks like it may be worth some quick plays- if the speed could be a bit faster. It takes too long for the computer to think of its move. In case you don't have it here is a dsk with the program. s addv.dsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbox Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I haven't tried it but something along the lines of: 2570 PRINT "ANY KEY TO END" 2571 CALL KEY(0,K,S) 2572 IF S<>0 THEN 2571 2573 STOP (or go to first line etc) should work at the cost of shifting the screen up a line. s Edited October 31, 2020 by blackbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It would be really cool if the original programmers of these games could be contacted and told that decades later their games were making a comeback. Who knows we might even get some returning TI'ers back into the fold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmop69 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Since there are more than 100 compiled games, it's time to prepare the updated MEGAPACK, including all the stuff. It's also the right chance for the updates/tweaks/fixes of games. So, let me know if what you have tested is working fine, needs some tuning, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkdrummer Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If you move the block you'll see that the"track" block changes position - It works pretty much like the game DIABLO in that respect. I do not have a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbox Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The game set up for Maketracks is fairly slow but gameplay is rather fast to make the number of track moves you need - even in TI Basic! I am still trying for a score. You score by making the ball pass through the "off tracks" at top and bottom marked with heavy lining. For my skills I think I need a slower game!!! s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmop69 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 A new compiled game: - Adventureland. It reminds me some Atari 2600 games for the gfx style. ? I've updated some of the older games from the first Mega Pack: - Adventuremania and Mania: minor changes; - 3D Labyrinth: has a smoother movement now. Fixed bug at the end of game (you cannot see the number of moves, etc.); - Dark Maze: fixed some bugs (in the compiled version it does not detect when the sword is picked up, etc.). Now it should be fully playable; - Dedalus: added joystick support, other fixes; - Hot Road: added joystick support, added slow game mode, etc. - Nibbler and Nibbler II: since are basically the same game, I've set different speed, so one is a little easy to play. - Nerm of Bemer, Boa Alley, Archeodroid. Smooth movements. All the updates received some polishing and minor aesthetical fixes and the delays added for keyboard and gfx (to adapt to the increased speed gained with the compilation) have now different values (similar to what I did in the recent games) for a better experience. Finally, I've updated the list adding some rates (my personal), if tested with FinalGROM, etc. Have a nice weekend.

+Ksarul Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thank you for all of the fine work you do on these, @tmop69. Your work shows that compiled BASIC really fulfills its potential now--and the work of @senior_falcon to fine tune the compiler itself is just priceless. Many thanks to both of you! 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
