Re: PNG file convertor for VERA image data V1.6

Lot of good features in this one, nice work!

It would be cool if you made it so that the 2 byte header thing on all the output files was able to be turned off with an option.
There are basic commands and kernel calls for loading without them now (e.g. BVLOAD and BLOAD).

Re: VERA FX demos for VCF

I was able to update my DEV0038 board to have the latest R45(prerelease) ROM, SMC, and also VERA FX.
Thanks for having these FX demos in ready for me to test easily.

Also, voidstar, I would prefer ZSMKIT now over ZSOUND. It supports much more capabilities.

Re: One stop shopping - ie seeing all new on one page

If you look at the top bar just below the X16 logo there is a "Quick Links" menu on there you can find New posts and Unread posts options.
Those are similar to what you are looking for.

how did you get into dev (for those inclined to do so)?

I was 10 when I got a new Atari 2600 for Christmas. Playing games on there (and in the arcades) made me want to be able to make my own video games. When I was 12, I had access to an old CP/M workstation with MS BASIC via a school program, and I learned BASIC via typing in programs from BYTE magazin...

Prog8 language and compiler topic

Been doing a little dabbling in prog8. Implemented a few sprite functions, and made a little test program that looks like this. <img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="2703" data-ratio="40.35" width="632" alt="SpriteTest.gif.3a4bd17157bfbbb96ca2818d93874387.gif" data-src="<fileStore...

Prog8 language and compiler topic

borgar,<br /> Thank you, this is exactly the kinds of things I was interested in learning about. I am familiar with the 6502 (almost all of my early coding was on the VIC-20, C64, and C128). I also understand the low level aspects, and mostly bare metal type programming where a mistyped address or ...

Prog8 language and compiler topic

Hi, I'm new around here, but I want to dive in to programming for the X16 using the emulator.<br /> I program in C++ for my job, and am familiar with a lot of modern and old languages and some microcontroller stuff like Propeller 1 & 2, and their languages. I've scanned through this thread, and...
