Paul,

I'm here... back after a long absence and just "lurking" the last little
|
|
while. But today I decided to answer a full 1/3 of the messages others left
|

Just snarfed 2 of your games -- GemQuest and Rescue (aka Tank).
|
|
|
|
_GOOD_ jobb
|
|
|
|
Check is "in the mail", as they say.
|
|
|
|
If I send you a diskette & mailer with the check, could I get a copy of the
|
|
source please? The way I play games, I don't remember from time to time what
|
|
to do, so I was planning to have your opening paragraphs of the docs scroll
|
|
slowly down the screen using the supplied fonts prior to presenting the initial
|
|
game screen. Also, I'd like to add water-wings to the tanks! ;-) Sound like
|
|
it's do-able?

Thanks for the kudos and the soon-arriving check! Yeah, I'll be more than
|
|
happy to send you the source. I like the idea of being able to scroll through
|
|
the docs before playing. Could even add a help key that would call up the doc
|
|
file. Adding water-wings would be a piece of cake. All it would take would be
|
|
to remove one check in the source.

O.K., mailer is on it's way.

I'm beginning to wonder if I should have showed my wife and daughter those 2
|
|
games -- I haven't been able to get on the CoCo for the past 2 days until they
|
|
went to bed! And the sickening part of it all is that they beat my best
|
|
score(s) within 15 minutes of starting to play!!! :-(
|
|
Just wait'll I get water-wings for _MY_ tanks tho; I'll show them a thing or
|
|
two!!

Can you do 360K 5 1/4" disks O.K.?

Ah, I love it when I create addictive games! I still have the single-sided 40

An unmodified CoCo can only have three double-sided floppy drives connected to
|
|
it. I think that someone has figured out what to modify to connect more; a
|
|
"browse/key=floppy" in DL10 might turn up something.
|
|
|
|
The other question that perhaps deserves asking is "What do you need to do that
|
|
for?" I don't recall how much needs to be done in the way of modification, but
|
|
if you need disk space, I think you should give serious thought to a hard
|
|
disk--they're getting fairly inexpensive these days.

I wasn't aware "string"[0] was broken - I have used that idiom before. It

surely isn't in the compiler with osk 2.3. sizeof("string") may be fixed - it

Word from the BITNET mailing list this morning is that Mark Griffith fell at
|
|
work and hit his head against a DEC terminal. Also, thank <insert favorite
|
|
deity here>, immediately following was a message from Mark himself saying he's
|
|
recovering nicely. Perhaps when next he dials up there can be a sufficiently
|
|
large quantity of well-wishing messages to put him in "aw shucks" mode as he
|
|
was on BITNET. :-) :-)
|
|
|
|
Seriously--I'm very glad that he is doing well.

Two questions regarding the TANK game.
|
|
|
|
1. The game crashes with an out of bounds subscript when I get to
|
|
level 15.
|
|
|
|
2. In the program, do you deallocate the graphics buffers before
|
|
exiting the program? If yes, all is fine, but if not, it would
|
|
be better if you did.
|
|
|
|
Other than that, a fine program!

Mmm. I'll have to check out level 15. As far as deallocating graphic buffers,
|
|
no I don't. It's a very good idea, of course. I just didn't think about it.
|
|
I'll have to include that in my future games.

I'm getting a lot of queries about the MM/1 from interested people at work,

and although I can answer a lot of questions and prcvide them with your

address, it'd be nice if I could post the specs and save myself some reply

time.

Could you upload a spec sheet with the final configuration, provided

software, prices, etc. and area codes for both KLE and IMS (some of the queries
|
|
are coming from overseas & the 800 number won't get it!)
