Re: New Dragon 32/64 Software
I have been working on a port of Knights and Demons for the MC-10 from the Dragon original. Made some changes, including to the graphics, to make it slightly less garish and busy. If there's any interest I'll port it back to Dragon.

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
I recently created some new BASIC game programs for a 4K TRS-80 Color Computer 1 programming challenge organized by Allen Huffman. Details about the contest and my entries can be found on my blog: http://jimgerrie.blogspot.ca/2015/01/4k-color-computer-programming-contest.html http://jimgerrie.blogsp...

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
I have ported Will Crowther's original Colossal Cave "Adventure" (the program that got the whole genre of text adventuring going) to Microsoft Basic for the Dragon and Coco. I have fixed and finished uncompleted elements and changed some things to create some new challenges for old players. The file...

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
Thanks for the link Alastair. I actually did take a peak at the source after Stew's post. Found this GameManager.prototype.addRandomTile = function () { if (this.grid.cellsAvailable()) { var value = Math.random() < 0.9 ? 2 : 4; var tile = new Tile(this.grid.randomAvailableCell(), value); this.grid.i...

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
Thanks for letting me know. I'm always worried that I will introduce some new ill. Sorry to read you got so close. Still, my sense is that game play is easier with the 90% 10% split on new 2s and 4s. Was it more of a struggle to finish the prior non-standard version? If so, thanks for the persistence.

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
Okay. I've changed GAME2048.BAS to only add new squares when the existing squares move during a turn. And I've changed the occurrence of a 4 to a 10% chance, with a 90% chance for new 2 per turn. I've also done a few optimizations to speed things up just a wee bit more and added a high score routine...

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
Thanks Sixxie and Stew for the comments about possible quirks in my rendition of the puzzle. It's what you get from simply trying to re engineer a game from watching YouTube vids and pestering your 16 year old son... Thanks Stew for playing to the brutal end... Updates shortly... Ciad Míle Fáilte

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
2048 is a tough game, Jim. I like it though :-) The highest scoring tile I've made so far is a feeble 256. Thanks for letting me know. I've only made it to 512 once and can often get to 256, but I have NEVER won it (except by breaking and changing variables for testing purposes). I know lots of peo...

Re: All of my Basic games in one zip
I'm finding Dice Wars a very absorbing game and am becoming slightly addicted. Thanks for letting me know you like it. The AI presents quite a challenge... I thought I had the strategy all worked out and then got beaten several times in a row. I did notice a slight weakness in the AI when the game ...
