Re: Games Review 2020
This is great idea to have such summary of the year!
We released two versions of the game:
- open source - which is merged to the main repository and is the game only. This version is already at oric.org but here is the TAP file again: - full game with intro and nice splash screen devoted especially to all Oric fans which is available in my post and here is the TAP again: Please, upload the full game at oric.org and if possible update the screenshots with more attractive (I can provide screenshots if needed).
Thanks!

About our chess game - there is small detail which I like to be fixed at oric.org:coco.oric wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 5:41 pm - CC65 Chess : https://www.oric.org/software/cc65_chess-2504.html

Re: Games Review 2020
There's Flappy Oric 3D that was released in 2020 ..
Well .. I must admit this game was a big failure from the sales point of view .. compared to the game it was made from.
But technically speaking, it's a game .. it's a cover game.
And it was my first attempt to have a piece of my code entering history by being hosted on oric.org site.

Re: Games Review 2020

Can you precise which tap file i"ve to put on the list as there're several on the git
Your 3d text or realtime is quite more impressive

Re: Games Review 2020
The reference version of Flappy Oric 3D is here (there's a download button somewhere):
https://github.com/jbperin/oricFlappyOr ... appy3d.tap
The best version of Text demo is here:
https://forum.defence-force.org/downloa ... hp?id=2007
The 3D walkthrough Template is here:
https://forum.defence-force.org/downloa ... hp?id=2054
The last two are rather demo than games .. so I don't know if they deserve to be on oric.org.
If demos are of interest, I think this one might deserve its place:
https://forum.defence-force.org/viewtop ... =21&t=2138
It's real time rendering of motion capture on Oric.

Re: Games Review 2020
Yes good idea indeed to have such a list.
I think we lost track of many releases in the 90s and 00s, as they are not commercial ones and had sometimes very little distribution.

Re: Games Review 2020
Wow! Also made my day! Thanks! So proud to be part of such a list.
Re: Games Review 2020
Do these count as 2020 releases ?

Re: Games Review 2020
By the way: how did you get the screenshot at https://cdn.oric.org//games/software/l/ ... REEN16.BMP ?
It is very weird that it shows that half yellow pawn at the start field. That should not happen, never saw it myself in testing.
Even if you captured in the midst of the pawn plotting it would be very weird, plotting starts from the top, so very strange that only the lower half is showing. Did you encounter this more often?
EDIT: Just thought that most probably you captured just at the moment the pawn is erased before it is moved elsewhere. Erasing plots indeed also starting from the top.
Re: Games Review 2020
I quickly tried the game and had the same problem (in green !) after opening/closing a menu window. It was persistant. I think I was using Euphoric.xahmol wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 8:38 pmBy the way: how did you get the screenshot at https://cdn.oric.org//games/software/l/ ... REEN16.BMP ?
