Hi guys, Well spotted Chema and Symoon, how stupide of myself, I should have remebered that /b option !! :oops: As for "file joiner", I dunno what's the problem coolman66, maybe your antivirus being a bit fussy? I use Avast myself, and it didn't flag it as malware or anything. And as far as I can te...

Well, there are two concerns here: 1) there seems to be a bug (or bugs) with optimizing the macros output by the compiler in aggressive -O3 optimization mode, with changes introduced by Fabrice as of OSDK 1.14. This is the most serious issue. 2) More generally, it seems indeed there is room for opti...

PS - to answer your question about merging files: With the Windows command line prompt, you can ONLY merge TEXT files, using the following syntax: COPY file1.txt + file2.txt + file3.txt merged.txt For merging binary files, you need a separate utility. I tried "File Joiner", which is a freeware and p...

Hi, I tried Atlandid with Oricutron by downloading the ZIP here: https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=detail&num_log=1080 Indeed there are 3 parts, one .TAP file then 2 additional tape files with .TA1 and .TA2 extensions (you can see they are actually .TAP files by looking at them with...

Hi DBug, and thanks for this new OSDK version. I can confirm my ElectrOric test programme compiles and executes fine in -O2 mode with OSDK 1.15, however there are still runtime bugs if I compile in -O3 mode (as was the case with the 1.14-patched version of the compiler which I believe you just carri...

Another thought on this: While searching the forum for some old topics about cc65 to gather some information, I came across this one: Questions to CC65 users There is a very important piece of info in it, examplified in the first reply by iss in which he demonstrates that cc65 cleverly optimizes cal...

Well, If you look at the code on GitHub, you can see there are quite a lot of functions, many of them taking many parameters, even including "int" parameters for some of them... Yet, cc65 seems to generate code that is both quite compact and fast. On the latter point if would be interesting as well ...

Ok, I've just finished level 3, I spent some time trying to figure out how to progress until I found the wicked little trick to get to the switch !!

Now I will get some graph paper and a pencil and start thinking of a new level design for you!!

Hi there trrerr / Rax, Congratulations for this AWESOME game, it was indeed a complete and very welcome surprise for the end of the summer, I think we should give you the "Oric 2019 Game Award" !!! :D I am really amazed at the amount of work you put in the game and the graphics (and sounds too!), an...

+1 for the Oric Gamebase as suggested by iss, this is the perfect answer to coolman66's needs. Just a remark though, the latest version of the Oric gamebase is v3.0 -- see the following topic: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1207 Not sure if the download link still works though.....

Hello Algarbi,

Any news about your game?? I hope development hasn't stalled, and you're still working on it, we are a bunch of people here eagerly awaiting the release of what looks like a fantastic game!!!

Hi Symoon, Well, I didn't ask because I wasn't aware you had other versions of tapes than the ones posted on Oric.org, but please do send me your converted .TAP version (you've got my email anyway), and I'll have a look at it to see if there are any bugs / transfer errors. By the way, the page on Or...

Hi guys, Well, I'm digging up an old subject, but I thought I'd let you know I may be able to help translate some French games to English, for your enjoyment :D I actually had a go a few months ago at " Detective Story ", a very enjoyable French game in BASIC where you play a detective carrying out ...

Very sad news indeed, all my thoughts go to his brother Keith, his nephew John S., and the rest of his family and friends. He will be long remembered and honoured within our community, and the upcoming interview of his nephew by Symoon will be a tribute to his contributions to the founding and devel...

Awesome job Dbug, the artwork & fonts are stunning!!

Just caught a small typo on "PrintSheet_1" for Kong: "barels" is misspelt, should be "barrels"
