kisrael Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Ok...now what about the profile issues Maybe you should ask those questions where they belong? http://starbase.globalpc.net/~bhz/cgi-bin/...;num=1088099548 Maybe you should make more useful suggestions? :-P I posted here because I knew that some of the people who regularly read here might have some sort of "in" with the organizer/site maintainers...(And i don't know if they keep up w/ that bbs....well, Thomas does.) I posted that almost 2 weeks ago, and never got any kind of official sounding response, and don't know what my other "where they belong" options were. Sheesh.

Steve Judd certainly isn't reading the message board here, when it looks like he hasn't even the time to read his own... I guess since Al is a system leader, and you and Thomas seemed to be regulars on their board, there was SOME chance of "involved of that level", or at least having different ways of communication with Steve Judd. I thought it was worth a stab, anyway.

I thought it was worth a stab, anyway. Did you try emailing Steve directly with a description of the problem? Or if it's more a problem with the BBS, try bhz (Burning Horizon aka Mark Seelye). Both of their addresses are available under "Who To Blame" at the bottom of the minigame web page. http://www.ffd2.com/minigame/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/51533-2004-mini-game-contest-has-started/page/2/#findComment-651368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I'm not even sure Steve has access to the MiniGame BBS installation, as the error over there seems to be of that kind. Try Burning Horizon (Mark Seeyle) or dW (Adrian Gonzales). Possibly the whole BBS will migrate to a new platform though - either SimpleMachines or the much used phpBB.

I have a deadline for the stuff that pays the bills, and if I'm lucky I'll get that project done today, which will free up more time to pay attention to more interesting things such as the Minigame Competition. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/51533-2004-mini-game-contest-has-started/page/2/#findComment-651435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although "INVPlus" should be "INV+". I'll get in there and change that once I have access again.

Cybergoth Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi there! And because the vectors point to a Zero page address does that mean I only need 2 more bytes [/wishful thinking] Well, actually you really need only two more bytes, as you can (mis-)use the last two bytes (BRK-Vector) for data storage. BTW: You should start your binary like this: Org $F8000,0 Org $FC000 So anyone can clearly see with a hexeditor that the first 1024 bytes are empty.

Therefore I didn't do this with my two 1K submissions and didn't have any problems. I am sure Albert can handle that.
