Which Emulator?

[Artoj]

Hi All, 

I am wondering which Emulator or Application can convert standard WIN/LINUX TXT files for use in TI Basic/EX Basic? I have a huge bundle of my own TXT typed software from old print-outs done to 80's that will need this, Regards Arto

classic99 .. copy text.. open language.. paste

Maybe TICodEd would be faster to use than an emulator?

Paste your text into TIImageTool and save as BASIC file.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I went with Classic99 as I need to run parts of them as I go along, mainly because not all of the programs were finals but print outs with hand written notes. I can see how good TICodEd can be when I start writing new code, whereas TIImage tool will be very useful for many other options when I have made my final list. Most of my printed programs have no instructions so I have to start writing them as well. I will make all programs available as a complete compilation. Thanks for all the help in this endeavour, regards Arto.  

 

My first program (listed as version#21) was a game I wrote in XB+32k with long coded line numbers and massive amount of logical operators. I remember it well, I used variables rather than numeric values to get a better response time, but it seems to be a version that the interface was still a little slow to respond and locate my character accurately. Here are some screen shots while I have been sorting out the game. The game is called "Across the Tasman", where you have a cargo ship that travel to Tasmania from Melbourne via the Tasman Sea, you have to plug up the leaks in 6 bays and steer the ship to stay on course, while conserving the cargo value.

Fred Kaal's Ti99Dir includes my LibXBTKN32.dll to convert ASCII (Extended-) BASIC files to tokenized TIFILES:

 

This also allows batch-conversions of multiple files.

Hi Artoj, is the game uploaded to Atariage?

Sorry not yet, I have to decipher my own 35 year old code, such as - 

 

920 WHR=-(X=F AND PK=0 AND Z6>61)*(Y-13)-(Y=22 AND PC=0 AND PK=0 AND Z6=61)*(X+7)-(X=28 AND PC=0 AND Z6>61)*(Y+24)-(PC=O AND X=28)*35-(PK=O AND X=4)*11

 

As the game was an iteration of 21 versions and I think there were another 2 more final versions that were loaded on a disk that can only be accessed from the Etheric Realm in the TI99 alternate Dimension of Lost and Destroyed Software, LOL, I will make it available here at Atariage along with about 10 more Games as soon as I do more software Archaeology, regards Arto.

Artoj, the game description and your screenshots remind of the ZX Spectrum game "Worse Things Happen at Sea" :-

Wow Ox !! It might have inspired me back in 80's, who knows? There were many variations on different platforms back in the day, yes, I vaguely remember a fad was going on at the time regarding these themes. Thanks for the memory flash, I did write a lot of games, possibly 30 or 40, sadly the software has been eaten by bugs, stolen or perished and I only have water damaged and yellowed dot matrix printouts with hand written notes all over them left. I am recovering as much as I can, regards Arto.

Hi All,

I found my original design for the jacket cover, it is only a b/w pen sketch, I will finish it at some point in colour. Regards Arto
