ok, no samples in first release, its decided! No more issues outstanding, webpages for game written and working but not online yet, release is imminent... :) I think it's a good idea to get it out there and get people testing it. Then when you release a version with samples you can include bug fixe...

Look for other 8 bit computer 5 byte format floating point numbers.
It will be 4 bytes representing the number, 1 bit the sign, and 7 bits the exponent. At least if it is consistent with other machines.

BTW, you can find a similar topic on the worldofspectrum.org started recently.

It's not an Oric emulator. I think the author just hacked the code to use an Atari video mode and address. He's done this with Apple II games as well.

Just wanted to give an update on this .. I've been setting up the hardware for this project and haven't made much real progress - yet - on actually doing anything interesting, but I wanted to let you know I have an Arduino Mega now set up with this display: http://www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=8...

And Atari fans are already crying for a game like it for the Atari.

Is there a short on the B key?

Of course I respect that we all have different interests, and I certainly wasn't suggesting that you drop everything .. but imagine if we actively could solve this disc problem for good? If we *all* had the ability to have decent storage on our Orics, this might ensure that our machines, themselves...

It took several searches but yes I found it.

Just an FYI... I ended up using the search to look for an old thread about an hour after my post.

I've used it to look up some past info but the world wouldn't come to an end if search went away.

That's actually not a bad suggestion for a project. The gameplay and graphics aren't very complicated. The only difficult thing would be voice which could be added later.
