I just think that the techy community at large knows of 7zip so its a bit expected that someone would have it on a forum like this. I was actually wondering the same thing a few days ago and thats about all I could come up with.

More Updates: 1) Missile collisions with the enemy ship should now be pixel perfect 2) Lives display added 3) Added missile limits (Infinite regular missiles, 1 EMP per round, 2 Trackers per round) 4) Updated threat assessment. The ship now takes longer to detect the missile making standard missile ...

Nice. I also went ahead and added Advanced 6502 Programming. The book actually has nothing but game programming in it. It doesn't use the NES of course, but the logic of the game itself still applies.

Can ya'll recommend some good 6502 books? As a note, I already have 'Advanced 6502 Programming' by Rodnay Zaks.

Lets put it this way, if it wasn't made for consumption or you don't know the contents, don't ingest it. I mean god only knows what kind of shiesse goes into the production process for those things.

Oh I know, I just love calling it that. I really couldn't care less about Christmas. Its just one big celebration of consumerism.

Merry Jesus Day!

On the note of a powerpak, if you have an EPROM programmer and eraser, you can take the board you need and solder in IC sockets instead of straight ICs. That way you can take out the IC and put it back. You can basically reuse the same IC for your testing. Only con is you need to remove the bar insi...

So what is the criteria for RetroUSB to release a homebrew game?

I have to agree, I mean I have an EPROM burner and eraser. I've got plenty of soldering gear. I can get the carts pretty cheap from the local flea market even. So why would I want to have someone tell me what I can and can't do with my own game?

As far as an extra layer of security goes, over on NESForums, when you join your first ten posts have to be approved by a mod before they are shown to make sure you are trustworthy. Think that could work over here?

That sounds like a really retarded teacher. :P Just tell him you'll be working with assembly, if that will be fine, and tell us how he answers to that. lol. Its not so much the teacher so much as it is the IB program and their rules on what you have to do to prove you have 'mastery' over the langua...

I've decided that if the compiler it enough on its on, I'm going to through the compiler in with a small 'IDE' that basically just manages the current project you are on and offers syntax highlighting. Either way I will be writing some kind of compiler for fun at the very least. And FYI, I just wrap...

I talked to my teacher about my choice for the final project and he isn't 100% sure even a compiler would fulfill all the requirements. He is emailing some IB brass to find out what they have to say about it.

Well the one problem with only making a preprocessor is that my teacher wants us to read and/or write a binary file. I can't imagine ever having to do anything involving binary files for a preprocessor. Anyway regarding a compiler, aside from macros and block commenting, are there any other desirabl...
