ORIC coffee mugs on ebay

I saw this mentioned on another forum. Kinda cool. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIC-1-RETRO-COMPUTER-MUG-CAN-PERSONALISED-GREAT-GIFT-/190688285889?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c65e854c1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIC-ATMOS-RETRO-COMPUTER-MUG-CAN-PERSONALISED-GREAT-GIFT-/190682184735?pt=LH_Defau...

Re: POP source code found (Prince of Princia)

FYI, it's still incomplete.

I'm currently experimenting with phpBB3: http://miniserve.defence-force.org/www_forum/phpBB3/index.php I imported an older version of the forum data, some of the avatars are missing as well, no custom skin either. It kind of works, you can play with it, but assume that I will delete it all and rein...

I use Notpad++. I wrote syntax configurations for several CPUs and I think the 6502 was one of them. I don't know how complete it is and it was probably not XA syntax.

Try formatting your code like this, it's more consistent and a little easier to follow. The blank area after Description in the header is for documentation as to what the routine does. I spent some time certifying code for government compliance so I do know a little on the subject. :) I still say yo...

Hi James, Thanks for the coding tips, sometimes I look at my own code weeks later and say "WTF!?"...decpoints is a case in point. I take your points about the brackets and the other things. Thanks. I have a problem with SVN which is why I'm not using it properly (I really must RTFM!) Try ...

if (0 < players[row][col] < 4) drawpiece(); Does that really work? I thought it would evaluate "0 < players[row][col]" as true (1) or false (0), and those are both smaller than 4, it would always evaluate to true..? That's why I said if it works. I'd have to test it and don't have a C com...

I took a look at the source code and I have a few comments. Let subversion keep track of old versions of main.c instead of keeping them all in the current version of the repository. You can always go back and check out a specific version later. White space is your friend and you seem to be packing y...

If I remember right, OSDK uses lcc rather than cc65 like the rest of the 6502 world. It could be a couple things. How long of variable names does lcc support? Or it could be a parser issue. Things to try. Use shorter names (replace canbetakenweight with CnBTakenWt) Use more white space (this also he...

@barnsey123, you wouldn't happen to have data for 8x8 tile images would you?

Perhaps we should just go ahead, make the web-page with some big copyright "them" messages, with link/adds for the iPhone game?
They would have significant difficulty proving any damages if they went to court. Worst case, you get a cease and desist letter.

@JamesD. Yup, all the above points are valid. However, I would argue that the purpose of looking ahead is to determine if a certain move (of the computer or the humanplayer) can lead to a "goal state". In this case the King either escapes or is captured. If we limit the number of "pl...

Source code is protected as free speech in certain countries.
You can release the source code with build scripts and they can't say a thing about that.

Yes, dbug, quite correct. It's a theory of mine that "look ahead" shouldn't be necessary (in this game anyway). It's a quest for a "golden formula". I have yet to see any strategy game where a "golden formula" played at an advanced level. Look ahead (using something li...
