Hello and BASIC Development
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:02 pm
Hi Folks,
Just signed up and thought I would come in and say hello! Like most people on here, I imagine, I had a Dragon in the 80's as a home computer. From time to time I fired up a PC emulator to play 'Quest' or something similar. Recently I discovered the excellent XROAR and have had lots of fun playing with it. Particularly fun to try out the hardware I never had (disks + Dragon 64). I've found the Up2date disk magazine is a good read and even found one of my programs (NIM) on issue 10 which was a blast from the past![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Anyway, I was thinking it would be good to do some Dragon BASIC programming again - possibly a graphic minigame I started for a Java 4k contest. I was wondering if the forum had any suggestions on how best do this on an emulator? I was thinking of using something like Rainbow Writer to get more text on screen or is there a clever was to use a PC Editor and copy the text across?
Take care,
Davy Mitchell
