The only problem with _keytest is that it's not compatible with the recent PedroM version (0.81, I think). But I'm using in Lemmings 68k and Shadow Falls, too...

I think you can gain extra speed if you optimize the physics and the enemy behaviours as much as possible. You could also use a large map buffer for the map and modify ExtGraph's FastCopyScreen-routines to satisfy you needs (that's tricky, I've tried it once...).

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to play a first beta!

Wasn't pedroM that kind of linux 3rd party OS for 68k calcs?

Yes, it is (but it has nothing in common with Linux - it looks more like Unix).

I have a yearning to go back to z80 again, only because there are always some things about ASM that I like better than C. Only problem is that I can't assemble anything on my comp. I still haven't figured out the problem since I got a new machine. If anybody could help, then perhaps (given enough votes) I could slowly work on both.

I'm guessing, based on my busy schedule, this may not be completed until next year. Sorry! Right now its a combination of rl issues and time. There's a lot going on and I don't know if I'll be able to stay in the community much longer. If you guys hate me and don't want me right now, then I'll gladly take me leave.

edit: if I suddenly disappear from the community for more than a month, please inform MC, UTI, and Revsoft that I might have left for good. Thank you!

I don't recall anyone hating you; you're a good addition to the community. I say, unless you are very good at multitasking, to focus on one language at a time. That is the reason I haven't released anything worthwhile yet, I try a different language every week. Last week was C, now it's Greek. (I don't understand how either.)

hm... I wouldn't want to press you, but a z80 version would of course be nice

do whatever you think you could do best

I think my vote is influanced by my ownership of a V200

Why don't you learn 68k Assembly? And the knowledge of C is very important if you want to code in the future, too. If you understand C, it's quite easy to migrate to C++, Java or PHP (as long as you are open for new stuff).
At least, that's my experience.

My 89T says "focus on the 68k version".

Actually, I can't seem to find anything on 68k ASM. I know there must be books on it, but as to specifics to the TI hardware, there doesn't seem to be much.

atm though, I think I'm more worried about being able to stay active in the TI community.

^^ Try that, I believe I linked to an 68k asm page...

68k man, it's much awesomer. I don't think the z80 calcs could handle n-game what with all the crazy physics and stuff.

katmaster · « **Reply #56 on:** May 13, 2006, 10:37:00 am »

Psshhh 83+s can handle anything!!! But do what you thing is best for you

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #57 on:** May 14, 2006, 03:50:00 am »

I hope you dont leave liazon, dont be so hard on yourself, I'm sure you can do it, it look nice so far, lot of people will be willing to help

kalan_vod · « **Reply #58 on:** May 14, 2006, 11:52:00 am »

He has been active on MC/UTI, but I think he can do this project and I hope he tries!11!

Liazon · « **Reply #59 on:** May 15, 2006, 10:26:00 am »

Progress will definitely continue during the summer, though I'm still not sure z80 or 68k. I guess I should compromise and learn 68k ASM
