New toy: SOUNDTOY

Inspired by something I remember Twilighte saying many years ago, and in light of the recent great progress being made by other Oric fans on the subject of MIDI interface hardware, I wrote this little toy application - SOUNDTOY - which can be used to explore the Oric/Atmos ROM memory locations for '...

Re: OSDK C and the scanf() function

Hey, do either of you guys know if either sscanf or scanf are workable ways to get a hexadecimal number input from the user? I'm trying to use them but not sure whats I'm not quite getting right .. char in[32]; int v; printf("P:"); v=scanf("%x", in); printf("\nin:%s v:%d&quo...

Re: 1invader [raxiss]

rax for President Oric!

Awesome game, I wish there were more in this mode, it always presents such a strange aesthetic, but as you have demonstrated with some artistic liberty the blocks become irrelevant and the art forms in front of ones face.

Nice!

Re: Mageco MIDI interface

Looks great! A neat and tidy MIDI parser, for when the time is right .. easily ported: https://github.com/nejohnson/miby/blob/master/src/miby.c I guess we're going to see some hot Oric Synth action soon! Exciting! Count me in when you're ready to ship interface.. I imagine a multi-timbral Oric rig s...

Re: Free Petscii Robots for the Oric-1 / Atmos

Thats really nice to see the Oric featured like that .. hope this will gain a bit more of visibility for our machine in that context.

Would be cool to see what could be done with colours, but I guess thats a thread for another time .. ;)

Re: Wurlde - Game Development Forum

It really astounds me to see WURLDE over the years, it is just a truly timeless place. Every time I wonder at the reflections and the delightful solutions to Oric's unique colour capabilities, it just transports me into a world that could have been. Those fountains! Twilighte you delightful human be...

Re: Mageco MIDI interface

Looks absolutely enticing.

If there is an ESP32 shield in the future, I'm all-in.

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter

Excellent progress, Dbug.

Your aesthetic is very appealing - as I see these transitions and details in your demo's, I can't help but be reminded of early multimedia engines such as Hypercard and so on.

Also, the monochrome style gives me real early Macintosh vibes.

Re: Mageco MIDI interface

Opto-copling really only needs to be done once. Nasty cables is what its for. It is not uncommon to see it only on the IN, as that is after all where the protection happens. If there's a chance to be included in any PCB batches, count me in. I've wanted MIDI on my Oric since the very early days. Apr...

Re: I'm looking for the game "Rico's Gulf"

Its a painful thing to hear such assets being lost to the winds of time .. I had my own "ORIC" branded tape collection for quite a while, with little things I'd written .. would also love to see it all now, it consumed many hours of my teenage life and was a kick-start to what has been a l...

Re: Items for sale

I'd be quite a bit happier to sell some of my Oric gear on DF than anywhere else.
