Re: Mystery of Silver Mountain

Would appreciate the Basic code listing to convert to NewBrain Basic. The Programming and debugging would not be a major problem as I have converted other programs to the NewBrain like "Planet of Death" by Jim Gerrie.
Best Regards
Colin

Re: Mystery of Silver Mountain

Has anyone got a Basic listing of "Mystery of Silver Mountain" they can post. I note that the Youtube video for this game has a part Basic listing shown in the video. If the original was in C language or Machine code has this been ported to Basic and has anyone got a copy. Regards

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

Hello Jim

Thanks for the advice to change to 80 column wide. The NewBrain is normally 40 column wide but I can switch it to 80 column within the program with a command OPEN#0,0,"L40"

1 ZZ=1:CC=80
2 IFMID$(M$,CC,1)<>""ANDMID$(M$,CC,1)<>" "THENCC=CC-1:GOTO2
3 PRINTMID$(M$,ZZ,CC-ZZ):ZZ=CC+1:CC=ZZ+79 ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

Sorry I meant "Planet of Death" not Doom.
The conversion was from the BASIC TRS-80 listing by Jim Gerrie.

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

I have now got "Planet of Doom" converted from the TRS-80 version to the NewBrain. Quite a struggle converting, but now runs great on the NB Emulator. See below part of the BASIC code and some of the changes made.
1 CLEAR:PUT31:CLOSE#6:OPEN#6,6:GOTO10
2 ZZ=1:CC=32
3 IFMID$(M$,CC,1)<>""ANDMID$(M$,CC ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

Hello Jim
I have now entered the MC 10 listing of "Planet of Death" into the NewBrain Emulator and am presently debugging the program to run on the NewBrain. It would greatly help me to have also the Spectrum Basic listing. So can you publish the Spectrum program listing for "Planet of Death" so I ...

Re: Road to Valhala text adventure running on NewBrain

Hello Jim

Thank you for the correction. Yes I have had similar problems with 1 and L. I created a text file of the program then input the text file directly into the NewBrain Emulator. However the 1 and L sometimes get confused. Have now made the correction. Thanks for spotting the error.

I have ...

Re: A Mind Forever Voyaging by Infocom

The Infocom Documentation Project website comes up with the Intro screen, but can't access the listed games documentation.
Maybe Infocom have taken this access to documentation down. Can you help.
