Re: Synthesizer Demo

On my X16's screen/hardware, the letters on the white keys don't show up. They work fine, just I only realized they were even there because of your screenshot. The keys on the black keys are visible fine, just not on the white keys (for me at least). I just uploaded updated version with letter on w...

Re: Synthesizer Demo

Wow, and something I just noticed: with the (expensive) WASD Keyboard, I can type all the keys I want for the Synth. But on the standard Perixx keyboard, I can only press a few different key combinations. You're encountering Key Rollover . The WASD keyboard has N-Key rollover, and the Perixx keyboa...

Re: Synthesizer Demo

Very nice! On my X16's screen/hardware, the letters on the white keys don't show up. They work fine, just I only realized they were even there because of your screenshot. The keys on the black keys are visible fine, just not on the white keys (for me at least). Now add a record/playback button :) [...

Synthesizer Demo

I wrote couple of tutorials on how to use ROM functions to program AY2151. As result I also wrote a demo for it in form of simple synth. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDsaqCT5caHl8wj1WSiK9OEGSTPJoWuLWomRwt_NSVVrK8haHAl2b9CHqfc6aM39HVYUySDevYnkixK382Ms7RGMup6coGIQv-8CIoAX...

Re: Crazy Solitaire

Thank you Daedalus,

I try to keep my code organized in any way makes sense for that particular project. It is especially important in Assembly programs where there is a lot of lines of code but at the same time it is always trying to find balance between readability of the code and performance.

After a long while I wrote another game. This time it classic Solitaire game and I pushed the graphical capabilities of Commander X16 a little bit. More about how it is done is available on my blog: https://www.8bitcoding.com/p/crazy-solitaire.html Some screenshots: https://blogger.googleusercontent...

Re: TilemapEd, Tilemap editor for the X16

I see you clarified it already so i don't need to add much to it. I did make a comparison of different modes in my blog posts long time ago: https://www.8bitcoding.com/p/tiles-in-assembly-i-basics.html https://www.8bitcoding.com/p/tiles-in-basic-i-mode-0-and-1.html https://www.8bitcoding.com/p/tiles...

Re: TilemapEd, Tilemap editor for the X16

I just found this tool. Very impressive work Dacobi.

I have been playing with it for last hour or so but couldn't find one fundamental feature. Does it allow to use 1bpp modes? I couldn't find where to select foreground/background color for 16 color mode or foreground color for 256 color mode.

Re: How to write games in BASIC

Cheers for the hard work. I ran through the snake tutorial a while back and thought it was pretty good. With the release of physical boards I've been getting interested in the X16 again. If you've gone through and updated your tutorials it sounds like it's a good time to go back through and do them...
