Almost ready to release the game, but I really want to add a logo and my own smegging name in there, somewhere. Maybe tomorrow...? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Looks good  I think the last time I tried to code something on Amiga, I used Amos. Which I think interestingly had a compiler written in Amos itself. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

uw. Too easy ? Hmm i had a score of 220ish ... playing it 4 or 5 times ... If you want to raise the difficulty, maybe add movement to some of the spikes ?` Like up down, or left right ? Btw that game reminds me of Flappy Birds.

Next task.. Making a sprite/image editor. The general style will be the same as my JSE symbol editor, and the tool I use in SmileBASIC, which is essentially just a grid on the left for a 16x16 pixel image, then some colours on the right, and a sprite selection list. Halfway there. It's drawing the palette, colours are selectable, and the sprite is doodle-able. Next up, drawing a selection of sprites to choose from.  SpriTed  DPaint Mmmm... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

 Works, but a little unsightly! I might have to get one of those Joystick Extenders, and trail all that dongle-chaos around the back of the "desk" -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

One advantages of the Aniga 500/1200 is that the joystick/mouse ports are on the Back side. Is that the A500 mini mouse ?

Yep, that's the one!! Works lovely! (Though, if I were a grumbling man, I'd be picky about the fact that the Amiga Mouse that actually came with mine, was actually a nice smooth curved mouse.) Poor little A600 having no space at the back. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Coming along, looks really good and I love adventures like this myself! I played about with Hisoft-C on the CPC only 2 years or so ago, and yep... There was no "standard" really when that came out, this that should work, didnt, things that looked logically sound... Werent, even when I was posting for help over on CPCWiki, noone had a clue... Take this:- In assembly, if I wanted a pointer to a specific address, lets say, x0C000 which is obviously the start of screen memory on the CPC, I would [if memory serves me right] use somethinggggg like:- LD DE,0xC000 LD (DE), var <---- Then plonk something in to address 0xC000 Now, I would use something in C like this, :- type *pnt = (type *)0xC000; if I wanted 'pnt' to point at 0xC000, but, when I try this in Hisoft-C, its a restriction... After what seemed like banging my head against the wall for days, I finally got it to work doing this... typedef char * CHAR_POINTER; char * ptr; ptr = cast(CHAR_POINTER) 0xC000; I mean, look at the state of that, f[BEEP]king outrageous! :/ Though one thing, it was fun mind trying to figure it out! Anyway, yeah, I like giving myself these little odd tasks... Keeps the grey matter exercised!

 God, this took me FAR too long. I eventually decided to just hack the smegging thing together, so ripped up another font and injected the new font data inside of it. I'm fairly sure all the code is "correct", but I'm sure anyone knowing any better will have a go at my lazy-man's version of doing it. (Download : LazyAmigaConvert (.zip) ) Extract, and into the Bitmap folder, place black and white font images. 8x8 pixel font only, characters 32 to 127, laid out exactly as is in the image below. (This is the style laid out by DamienG in his wonderful ZXOrigins fonts) Anything else will indeed bugger up, so be sure to get the layout correct.  Next, in the root, run conv.php If you don't have php installed, get on it!! You'll need the gdImage functionality working. Can be a right pain in the arse to get that going, sometimes. Depends on your OS. The script will scan the bitmaps folder, and for every .png image it finds, will attempt to convert it to an Amiga ".font + /8" set of files. It "should" work. Apologies if it doesn't.. Good luck! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

First game was SpikeDislike. Second will "probably" be Flappadiddle, then third Blockman Gets. Between those three, I'm pretty sure that's all the learning I need to start doing more imaginative things with it!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Tried "upgrading" the Amiga, today. I downloaded an upgraded Kickstart rom and tried using Skick to run the rom. And it worked! Woot! Kickstart 3.1, but with a half a meg of ram used up. .. And with the Compact Flash/PCMCIA driver using up just under another half meg, I was down to an almost plain 1Mb ram! But it worked, and with a ready made second CF card holding WB3.1, I was able to.. ... um.. .. Fuxake, it's the pissing same. What was the point of all that!?! *undo* -=-=- The point was actually to check to see if a higher capacity CF card would work on the higher kickstart rom. And it doesn't. I'm still stuck with a 128Mb CF card. Luckily I have two, incase one goes tits up. But it'd be nice to be able to use either the 1Gb card or the 4Gb one.. People online are like "the PCMCIA device handles the capacity", but I just wanted to be absolutely sure that that was the case. Even the SD Card to Compact Flash card, the one that's specifically stated as working in the CompactFlash driver, doesn't sodding well work.. All I get is a NDOS icon, and no way to format it. Fuxake... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

No, the fact that the two 128Mb work fine, and quite frankly effortlessly, is suggesting it's something other than a formatting issue. Plus the driver's definitely working. Trust me, I've done a LOT of reading about this stuff over the past month or so. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Could just be rose-tinted glasses.. I've noticed the mouse is quite stuttery, even on Workbench on my real Amiga!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
