Commander X16

OK. My hardware is now R45,VERA-FX, and latest SMC. I originally wanted to have Sven virtually holding my hand on it but I succeeded.

To: Anyone reading through those last messages. This was entirely my screwup. I had 2 versions of a BIN Blob laying around and I uploaded the incorrect one to the archive. This dumb mistake is now fixed and the above archives should work properly.

I have thouroughly banged my head against my desk for 5 minutes as self flagellation .

I'm re-posting this here just to keep it as the last POST.

This is the fixed version. No changes from version two pages back. I am doing my final post in this thread sometime tomorrow after I've set up a HANGMAN BETA thread on Downloads/Games. My last post here will be a link to that thread.

It may be that Pre-BETA4 and BETA-1 end up being very nearly the same. The game is 99% feature complete now. I only have 3 more big ones. A Win game Screen, INI file support, and (this one is the most complex) Music and Sound management code.

HANGMAN PRE-BETA RELEASE #4

- maybe a reminder after the intro music, you need to tap a key to continue?

- I picked the Drawing Demo and it started drawing, but crashed to the monitor around after drawing the grass


The clicks during typing your name and such is neat:) I recall that effect in one of your other demos.

1. I actually concur, already thought of it. But I'm completely redesigning the initial splash screen as a BMP --> BVLOAD graphic file. So I don't want to waste time rewriting code thats getting shelved. Also. When I go from BETA to RC1. I'm going to write a comprehensive README file for the game. I would put a help file in but I'm squeezing the RAM as it is. A good README is the next best thing.

2. I spent an hour after work on the drawing demo problem, in a frantic panic most of that time. I f...ing hate both intermittent bugs and unreproducible bugs. But I've flooded your PM's on DISCORD and here, I'm waiting on your confirmation that I really have it fixed.

3. Glad you like the clicks. Its FMDRUM 7,26 ( I did get it from CODEBLTZ)

Update works well.

As my uncle used to say, "those computers, they only do exactly what you tell them to do!"

Thank You.

Also, it was kind of a stupid mistake on my part... But those come with the territory,

If a programmer tells me they've never had a bug in their code, I know their lieing

BTW.. What did you think of my Pallette fades. I would do it for the entire drawing but Clouds and Grass take a bit to long. Better to see them drawing instead of a long wait time.

Well its time.
I will keep peeking at this thread for any questions that might pop up, but for me it's now closed. Over to BETA, since the game is completely playable as is.

Cheers and GG (Good Game)!

The hints are a lot of fun.
