Re: GalaX16

The game uses the kernel joystick reading functions, so the keys are defined by the emulator/kernel. It works with a gamepad if you run on hardware or use the emulator on a PC instead of the web one. I do plan to allow configuring of the keys/buttons, that will be later on after more of the core gam...

Re: GalaX16

Thanks guys!

Xiphod, I like your story about why they do the formation. lol

There's a lot more to add in the gameplay. There's going to be a travelling type level, and the challenge levels. Plus power ups.

GalaX16

GalaX16 is a arcade space shooter inspired by Galaga. It is written in prog8 (with a smidge of inline asm). I'm still developing this, but it is a playable game now, so give it a try.

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.

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...
