Yes, if you want it (in it's current state) you can use it, that would be nice. I saw your other post, but didn't consider O-Thrust "worthy" (complete enough). @Dbug You are right. It's an error. But I cannot find it, somewhere I must access zeropage 0 directly (without using a label), and...

Thank you, and thank you Symoon for finding this bug, I couldn't have done that.
I just use the OSDK as-is and know nothing about configurations or the different hardware versions...
It's now fixed.

I'm also glad to hear that it runs on the real hardware!

I've updated the tap-file (linked in the first post)

the good news:
- you can now configure the keys (A-Z, Cursor, Space, Return are possible)

the bad news:
- I now use Euphoric Build 1009 (on WinXP), and still don't see these graphic-bugs...

Thanks for all the comments! It's a little bit surprising for me that you all find it to difficult. Of course I'm used to faster Thrust-versions for years... I also implemented just my favourite keyboard-layout. Of course it would be better to make that customizable. Would be a shame if no one is ab...

a somewhat boring screen (well, it's from the first level): http://www.h3games.de/oric/othrust.gif and here it is, two months of my life, compressed into 35 kb... othrust.tap (V1.2, Bugfix) Instructions: Your mission is, as some of you might have guessed, to find and attach the klystron pod (sphere)...

yup. I've spent much time with Thrust, Gravity Force (Amiga) and other Versions...

I've finally managed to read all 24 pages, and just want to say this thread alone is very interesting for me (of course I was to lazy to write down some useful technical stuff so I have to read it all again... ;) I admire how you can motivate yourself over such a long time, and hope you will finish ...

Outcast, hm... probably not this year ;) Using the stack, smart :) Yes, and sometimes you get some really interesting graphics on the screen when making mistakes (I had expected the emulator to just freeze when poping/pushing a differing amount of bytes, but sometimes the result was still playable m...

Haven't found one here, so I had to do it... http://h3games.de/oric/voxel.png Yes, in one corner I built a little "city" :) That could look better of course with some fine-tuning (and a mapeditor...) so here's the file voxel.tap - Uses a hires display with virtual 40 x 100 pixel. - Mapsize...

Ok, I try to calculate... AltChrTable and textscreen are overlapping by 128 bytes. 160 bytes would be 4 lines of text. So I need a minimum of 32 lines of hires at the top of the screen (and the maximum is 128 lines before the hiresscreen reaches the StdChrTable). I will play a bit with that... And a...

Great news for all TOL-fans
I'm really impressed by what you've done so far!

Ah, that was some very useful information for me, too. So that is the thing called "Overlay", making an extra .tap and loading it to $a000? Does the C-Compiler/assembler/linker "stop" at $97ff, throwing an out of memory-error or anything like that? Or does it just overwrite chars...

Thank you, I will try to understand all that

Since I use both charsets, I have to work with 80 chars (using the top 16 chars from StdCharSet for the "status panel"). 4 Sprites need 48 chars, so I can use 32 for background-gfx (here A-Z and some punctuation). Sprites have a size eqal to 3x2 chars, so for drawing I need 4x3 chars for e...

Is there any convenient way to measure the speed of a routine?
To count cpu-cycles, or seconds, or whatever?
Doesn't matter if C or assembler.

(I've tried using clock() and sometimes it works, but most of the time not, or I'm to stupid)
