Re: C68 & detecting vsync


Looks nice.

However, the game is a bit flat looking; I haven't yet got any animation, loading icons, etc... as I'm finding it difficult to find a method to synchronise / wait on display refresh - the C68 standard library only appears to have a second-granularity sleep() and nothing else that ...

Re: re-discovering the QL... mandelbrot 1989-2023

anyone ever look at the doom fixed point code? I'd imagine there should be a 68k version of fixed mul somewhere..?

Re: Mark Swift's Website

Guess no hope for QZ.zip?

OS Classic - QL emulator for Amiga and Q40 computers
QZ.zip 1343226 08/10/99 QDOS Classic v3.25 (beta p) - full src & bin

I guess you have it already in that one zip...

Re: Hack 1.03 for the QL

Code: Select all

"eat.c", line 455: warning [3]: using out of scope declaration for 'prme'
 as68 -v c:\xtc\temp\eat.s eat.o
Sozobon Assembler, Version 2.0

Turns out sozobon isn't really geared to hack. Not so sure why.

Just downloaded the Git Hub zio file, quite big program.

Writing in assembler was just wild idea... maybe C is better.

Can this be compiled with C68 instead of GCC?
Probably it's not very exciting C... I have built it with Microsoft C, 16bit & 32bit, so I should imagine it's dooable.

Re: Hack 1.03 for the QL


Hi,

Can this program not be written in assembler saving a lot of space and increasd in speed.

I want to do more programming, so will have a look at this...


it's 436,299 bytes of C, or roughly 20,227 lines of code. It'd be a significant undertaking. It'd be easier to write some kind of runtime ...

Re: Hack 1.03 for the QL


This is really cool! I spent waaayyyy too many hours on the university computer playing NetHack (a more complex version of Hack). Feels great to be able to play Hack on QL, thank you for the porting effort!


Yeah considering that public release of hack was in 1985, its really cool to see it ...
