Commander X16

Multilayer >= 1 ?

My statement was more based around expectations to say what to expect. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/833-desertfish/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="833" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/833-desertfish/" rel="">@dese...

The whole procedureal generation is the real secret sauce in Elite ... besides the unparalleled graphics of that time. Also need to correct - the Seed is 6 bytes = 3 words.  Start reading here: Sub TT20 and Sub TT54 gives you more or less the whole picture. TT24 is then calculating the real system ...

I do not see any reason why I should need to build for X16 on Linux if I am Using. The whole Toolchain exists on Windows. If you want to use Linux - that is great and everything works there. But if you want to use Windows then WSL is just something to enable you to run Linux - which was not the ide...

Just not related to prog8 but to Elite. You may want to lookup how the 256 planets worked in Elite. (check the source code I linked) It has a very good writeup how that works. In short: You have a pseudo random generator that is seeded by the galaxy seed (4 bytes). This seed is then taken through i...

That is a good approach. Just wanted to make you aware of the fact of limitations of the Architecture in regards of high languages. Where the Amiga was optimal to use for C the C64 never was and the X16 compensates a bit by processor speed with factor of 8 but has the same limitations. The compiled...

Be aware that C is not a good language for the C64/X16/6502 in general. It is very heavy on all the calls and context switches, where the 6502 is not very good at. The stack is also only 8 bit and only 256 bytes in total and cannot get extended. So you need to create a software stack (which is exac...

Awesome ... not sure why that is not part of the official flight manual

Hmm the regex is supposed to match the second part \b[AXY]\b but not if the first part is matched before (which is ^\s*[AXY] or beginning of line with any number of whitespaces followed by one character AXY ... that should actually work. <br />   what is this captures Statement doing? I could not f...

I worked a little in Atom now and added to the language-65asm as I did not like some things: 1. the cc65 variant does highlight #$FE0A in on thing (so the # is the same color as the following constant). I like to have it separated as # is an operator and $FE0A is a constant. Also as # is such an im...
