Amiga Ball.... ??

The CPC can do that in BASIC!

Can someone wake me up when it's finished drawing the ball.... (Where's the yawn Icon)

Bryce.

[TFM]

Thanks for your positive feedback. For sure the programmer will now be highly motivated to continue coding.

impressive, I recall seeing something similar for the CPC when the Amiga came out

I started at work yesterday, but kept getting distracted by what  oracle pay me for lol

Today is rugby, maybe tonight after the little guy is in bed.

This Boing is draws terrible sloooow.
So I improve it. Previous version need 3 min 15 sec.
My, only 15 sec. Check it out.

[Gryzor]

Whoa, impressive

[ZbyniuR]

To be honest it's not 100% Basic now, because net on background is not DRAWs or POKEs but machine LDIR put in memory by PRINT chr$(25) etc.
So it gave me spare about 2 maybe 3 second, I guess.

But mainly I found unnecessary IFs and bugs in parameters in FOR NEXT, which draws sometimes in the same place. And now SIN() COS(), I put it to DIM si(),co() count only once on start. And CALL &bd19, and shadow now is in better place I think.

Result is better than I expected.

Sorry for offtop.

You should put that to the 10 LINERS BASIC Contest (see other thread somewhere), so the CPC can beat em all. 

[ZbyniuR]

This is not my program. Once it was published in some magazine. I did just a little smoothed.

That's not the point! And I know that! [nb]What do you think I got it from?[/nb] Point is you made the last update, so just get it down to 10 lines and submit it as 'from CPC' or what ever. Goal is to participate. 

[sigh]

What an excellent podcast!

I think the best 1 on 1 fighters on the Amiga were Mortal kombat and Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

My WTF games were ElfMania and Double Dragon.
