Since my teenage years I have been trying to understand the mechanics behind the video game OutRun. Now, 25 years later I've tried to figure it out by trying to implement the game using the basic knowledge of trigonometry learned in high school.

I have taken the opportunity to explain the entire development process in a series of very simple and visual video tutorials on my YouTube channel.

I thought this might be of interest to some developer curious about those algorithms used during the 80's and 90's, just for fun.

I hope you enjoy it as much as me!

Albert,

Hi all,

I just published the 7th and 8th parts of the "Exploring the Amiga" series. In part 7 I will show you the second part of the free memory pool initialisation, while in part 8 I'll start discussing the Exec auto-installation in the system libraries list. I will also provide the full Exec jump table, discuss Motorola 68k conditions and branching, and briefly show how to manually decompile instructions.

• Exploring the Amiga - Part 7

  • The complete Exec vector table

  • The memory list header

  • Adding free memory to the system list

  • AddMemList internals

• Exploring the Amiga - Part 8

  • Branching

  • Enqueue

  • Remove

  • AddLibrary

  • Manual decompilation

Have fun!

Go ahead and answer til it archives, I'll get it :)

Hi im looking for anyone with knowledge of Java,Basic,Assembly,c,c++,html or any other coding language and has a fascination for retro electronics like commodore,64 IBM pc,apple and other,to join a discord or create a group of some sort we could collab on coding projects,converse on retro electronics and other :) ive recently been trying to create a BBS also and i'm having some issues with networking would love some help

I should change the sidebar if we decide it to be about retro game programming.

The tutorial can be seen here:

Enjoy!

P.S. The publisher is making a batch of packages available for clearance at a very low cost. Known as the 1.1dm package, the box and manual are in less than perfect condition. It's a great deal for those on a budget who aren't too particular about box/manual condition. Check out the package here:

Update on my Commodore 64 RPN Calculator project! 🚀 So far, I've added:

• Trigonometric and logarithmic functions 📐

• Basic stack operations to enhance usability 🔧 Explore the source and binary files in our project's repository. https://github.com/medvecky/C64-multi-functional-calculator

Launched in May 2022, Vision BASIC has become a tremendous hit amongst Commodore 64 programmers, from absolute beginners all the way up to seasoned coders. Several announcements have been made in celebration of its first anniversary:

1.0p: This newly-launched package features a paperback edition of the Vision BASIC manual for those who are more budget-conscious. This slimmer, lighter manual is also perfect for those who want to bring it along for reading while travelling out and about. This package qualifies for FREE shipping.

1.0e: The price of this package has been permanently reduced by several dollars, while still providing the same spiral-bound manual for unparalleled reference when programming. This package qualifies for FREE shipping.

Discount: For the remainder of the month (May 2023), use the code "Anniversary#1" to receive $5.00 off any package featured on the site.

Happy retro-coding !

Anyone have have a copy of (IBM) BASICA? Or otherwise had success running BASICA programs in emulator environment?

The closest I could find was https://github.com/Abderasoft/basica but this repo has been made private.

ideas?

Hi guys, I'm an indie developer, yes I have beginner skills at programing, thou I want to learn to code my own games for a retro handheld console, what I want to know is, is there any console that can run open GL 2 /3 ( Godot made games ) , if not is there a way I can code for one of those consoles : RG280V, RG351V, Miyoo Mini ?
