Does everyone remember Oing and YaBoing, the classic screen hacks? I
thought it would be neat to run them both at the same time, so I
modified oing not to take up all the sprites, and yow! You can watch
Oing play YaBoing! (It got 23 points when I let it play by itself!)
If you want to try the modification yourself, I can send you some
notes about it; it's more than just changing a constant, but not much
more.
Questions:
What's the best price on Aztec C people have seen? Latest
version? I think I want Developer. Or do those distinctions
still exit?
Has anyone written a Life game that uses the blitter to make the
next generation? If not, any conjectures as to whether it would
be worth it?
Where can I find a complete description of DNet? Or should I just
bug Matt Dillon?
Where can I find a CLEAR, WELL WRITTEN (aaugh!) description of the
format of executable files, and object files as {A,B}LINK handle them?
Email me at the below address? I'm rather new to the net- not sure of
the standard practice.
