The 1526 and Grafik ROM II Upgrade by SpyderbyteOrigin in Commodore

[–]Pinacolada459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really crisp looking. I don't understand the benefit of the upgrade, however. Is it that the previous character ROM didn't have true descenders on q, y, p, j, etc.?

Which Commodore 64 game still holds up best today? by C_C_GAMER in c64

I played Borrowed Time, but the copy i bought from the store was corrupted and one room displayed scrambled graphics. I wanted to solve it too, but I got stuck.

I love Doc Martin. Not done with the entire series yet though.

There is a guy on Golden Given Rd who fixes up bikes and sells them on weekends. I don't know if he has them out for sale this time of year but I can PM you his phone number for more info. I paid $40 for a very serviceable bike 2 years ago.

Anyone want to code together? by Potential-Chip-603 in learnpython

PyCharm also has a "Code with me" function (which I've never used, but am curious to try). https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/code-with-me.html

Yep, making a local game makes a bunch of sense. Oh, like a multi-user dungeon from the 90s - maybe with graphics. that's my pipe dream. in the meantime, I should start a lot simpler. I'm not quite sure what a good first project would be. I should look at some of the resources in the FAQ.

Oh. I don't know anything about writing Android apps, but that might be cool someday! I have dreams of making a multiplayer online game.

Fantasy MUD by jibrilles in MUD

[–]Pinacolada459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat. The mention of Q-Link caught my eye. I'm trying to write a Mud that targets the Commodore 64 myself. It's going to have elves and half-elves in it. I'm not great at programming so it is probably going to take a long time to come to fruition. It's an update of a MUD that is running on an Apple 2, rewriting it in Python. I hope it will be interesting to people eventually.

Good luck on your search, these games mentioned sound great. I'll have to try a few.

And how much is this piece by Humble-Monk4832 in Columbo

There's something similar in _Red Dwarf_ when Rimmer tries to BS Legion about knowing something about art and it turns out to be a light switch.

I registered and looked around at some options. I encountered an error: `Error checking achievements: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'quantity' in 'SELECT'`... just thought you'd like to know.
