Its not a bad idea, but its just that the time period is too long .. cut it by half and it would probably work...

Interesting .. but I think the wait-period for the gate to open is too long .. other than that, a fun little game. Will play it some more and give feedback ..

Meh, I don't feel like contributing to a project if I have to dig through some obscure path to find things, then manually compare 17 files in different folders to find the differences, when it could be so much simpler with a proper branch compare. Oh no, now I'm doing the "spit the dummy and throw t...

DBug: Blaming others for having an opinion on your work style that "dis-incentivised" you to continue: hmmm... As I recall the branch issue was just that - your work could've been done on another branch rather than an entirely separate, non-visible repo. But okay, your choice to prosecute your time ...

Haha robcook, that is actually a great t-shirt .. I'd wear that with pride too.

So tell us then!?

I really enjoy getting your updates on this project and am really looking forward to the final result! Cool that you're refining it further too .. very exciting!

I have 8 Atmos, an Oric-1 and a Telestrat - and they all behave differently depending on the power supply being used. I've noticed that the lower Amps, the messier the screen on boot up - maybe this is a clue?

Great work Dbug, looking forward to playing with it .. these changes certainly make BASIC more palatable ..

Roger that. In penance, perhaps I should consider porting .. EDIT: I (Dbug) removed the previous messages regarding the Java runtime, no reason to pollute the author's tool forum since everybody have voiced their feelings. Thanks for your understanding (This is the second time in... 10 years, give o...

Great! I'm still a bit backlogged on getting my Twilighte+Sittler cards set up for Orix hacking .. but I hope to join you soon, in running all these great things.

I can't say I have much love for PoP either, as a game, but the idea of having a conversion for Oric is interesting. It seems to me that the Wurdle demo was headed in that direction: having a similar kind of feel/vibe with rotoscoped animation and Twilighte-level cleverness with colour placement. Po...

Nice idea .. seems like it would be easiest to build a hash-table of all Oric .dsk/.tap files you can find, then bundle that into a database and include it in the app so that whenever the user adds .dsk/.tap files, their games are instantly recognised .. Or, another idea - you could just build in an...

Sorry Chema, haven't had a chance yet - my working Oric rig is in a local hackerspace in preparation for a demo later this week - I will try it then, though. Does it matter if its an Oric-1 or Atmos?

Great! :) About the object-draw: perhaps when you get to the screen fade/merge code, you might consider adding a menu option "Provide Hints", and then, if true, draw the objects with a slightly different fade or something .. anyway, great video, its really looking like a fun game to play. Only issue...
