The life of a Games Programmer

I've uploaded a small video showing the current state of the C64 version. I suddenly realised I'd been sitting on it for ages and no...

I've decided to continue my remote debugger I started ages ago with the view to gettting it up and running on the Plus4 and C64. I had t...

Well, after listening to the Scotland v Italy match on the Radio I'm wondering if I'll ever speak to luca again!! Oh well, its our ...

I'm slowly progressing with the alien waves for the demo level and I think it's going okay. If I play without wanting to power up, y...

I managed to get Luca to send the test level again, so I've now put that in and have started making new alien wave's . Heres the cur...

I've been hunting around trying to find the demo level Luca built, and unable to find it, I went back to Luca's web page to see what...

I've not done nearly as much as I'd hoped on XeO3 this year. I was convinced THIS was going to be it's year. A few things got in...

Almost time to go, Im collecting all the bits I need for the trip, including minus4 source and of course XeO3. I dont think I'm going to...

I'm still slowly progressing with wiring up the prototype, and I thought I was getting on well until I decided to finish one of them off...

Its funny reading some of the comments about the video, many of them seem to wonder why I'm doing it - so I thought I'd answer. When...

I'm taking a small break to play a bit more with my C# stuff. I've gotten the Plus/4 sprites loading in, so now all I need to do is ...

So, I thought it was about time I got the full benifit of the Multiplexor, so I'm about to do a small c# program (my latest language of ...

Okay, I spent a little bit of time optimising the IRQ side of the multiplexor, and I can now get a sprite within 10-11 lines of the other se...

Well, the first version is done and although it still needs seriously optimised, it's in and working. I ended up using a slight hybrid b...

Well, thanks to the comment made the other day, I've managed to add symbols to VICE. Since I use my own assembler, it was a quick 10 min...

I've been sitting here playing with a C64 multiplexor - boy has it been a long time since I did this! Actually, reading about Dan's ...

Luca's given me a new batch of sprites to bundle together so while I've been doing that, I've also been updating Luca's scri...

I've been shuffling around the C64 code and data for a couple of reasons really. 1st It means I can use the music as is without having i...

I'm having a little coding break at the moment. I thought I'd have a quick play and see how much bigger the sprites feel when theres...

Not a bad evenings work! I've managed to get the sprites converted over as well! Although at somepoint I guess I'd have to get them ...
