Commander X16

I was going through the Vera FX documentation yesterday. It appears to be the go-to for making wireframe or filled polygons for more advanced games like Elite. It's just a line drawing algorithm, though. It's not a triangle based vertex pipeline like you might see in a hardware accelerator. This als...

I should clarify that I'm using Romterm v1.27 in CBM mode, but I got that from the BBS's Synchronet BBS Listing.

You're able to get into the ansi version?

I just figured out if you are dialing in from the x16's terminal over the serial device, you can do these options:

Macros are the obvious choice here, but ca65 introduces structs. After a conversation on the X16 discord, I feel like I have my head around how to use them prop...

Hi Folks! I have an order of operations question about the game. I was playing last night, and I had a stack on the far right building up fairly high. I had a drop come in that would allow me to break those cubes. However, the Game Over sequence triggered because the drop that was entering created a...
