Thanks, I appreciate you talking to him about it!

Was just curious if the mods could add the free tapatalk module to the forum? http://www.tapatalk.com/en/mobile It is a small download you upload to the forum directory, and you have to add one line to the forums overall_footer.html file. Basically once added it allows android, iphone, blackberry an...

No there was definitely a companion disk sold. I just don't think it was very popular and the people who bought it probably never copied it for the masses. It wasn't something you got just buying the compiler, it was an extra cost item.

I've just been hoping over time that someone might turn it up.

Yeah, sadly it seems the companion disk is nowhere to be found. The game itself is easy to find, but that elusive source code isn't.

Bumping this thread a couple years later. Was hoping someone may have it. A friend over on AA has been looking for this for ages. I've been trying to help, but no matter where I look , I just can't find it.

Anybody got the companion disk with source code to Megaroids?

Just a note. The Mega STE does not have the enhanced joystick ports. So would love to see an option that supports it also. I have a TT also, but no EJP's there either. Yeah - valid points there. If it is an STE only game, there shouldn't be an issue with making it STE EJP only. If Alison is willing ...

Alison, How much for two (would prefer cable already wired into a controller, but wasn't sure how you were optioning them out) shipped to the US? Love the PeST and video cable you made for me a few years back. You can respond in PM if you don't want to clutter this thread. Love the stuff you do! Gre...

I thought so.

One of the best ways to play with Ubuntu (and Ubuntu derivatives) on Windows systems is Wubi http://wubi-installer.org/ In short you download wubi. You give it a username and password for your Linux system. It downloads the Ubuntu OS for you, creates a file on your Windows hard drive (and I stress f...

Charles, As others have mentioned the actual loops aren't very different between the GFA and Pascal code. The Pascal one might be a little tighter (as you can examine below) but were talking by a small small fraction. In the grand scheme of things this is immaterial. Especially for you and the thing...

Not parsing huh?

Why not post the following since you don't want to post source.

Post the midi file your using. Post the times for all your programs in the various languages.

Seems kinda pointless without seeing the actual times for your tests at a minimum. Also the code for each as Lonny points out would be helpful. Plus if all your timing is loading and playing a midi file it seems kinda odd for a test. The majority of the time should be the actual playing of the midi ...

Big Linux fan myself. Been using it since the old days when it came on a bunch of floppies. Currently I am really loving Crunchbang Linux. Love it. Openbox is a great environment to work with. Not as user friendly as Gnome/KDE/XFCE but I really like its simple interface. Here is a screen of Crunchba...

Charles,

Is your last post where you say your chopped it down to 312 lines or so your latest version? I took that version verbatim and put it in GFA and had the problems Desty mentions.

If I enter just "1" as the formula and hit enter it bus errors. Even "1+2" bombs.

This is with GFA 3.60 TT

Charles,

For your line calculator just stick with */-+ and don't worry about parentheses or anything else. Just do the order of operation correct on */ +-

what is this called? computer math? algebra calcus basics? order of presedence? i do not know the terms at all. charles Well I would have thought you would have been taught this is 3 or 4th grade. But it is typically called "order of operations". Use google and it will be your friend. Here is some ...

charles wrote:hey your right !

i tried in gfa print 8/4*2
and the answer was 4

Imagine that!

the rule must be multiplication and division first!
then addition and subtraction,!

Did you even read my previous message where I told you?

i think the answer is supposed to be 1 Ummm. No. No it isn't. Use a calculator. Try it for yourself. order of operation */+- but some tell me i'm wrong while other are just being right to them selves,, They tell you your wrong. Because you are. :) so 2*4=8 8/8=1 but your way is 8/4=2 2*2=4 Wow. All...

Charles, I went back and checked what I believe is your 2nd version. http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=15030&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=45#p132474 I ran it and it only works under certain conditions, and most of the time generates invalid answers. I avoided negative numbers since you mention...

Charles, I will go back and look, but my memory was that neither of your versions actually worked when it came to taking input and calculating correct answers for + - / * So if that is the case let me know and I will go back and look at your second submission. As for adding guidelines.... Quit makin...

Charles, Why not just finish this challenge as my last post suggests? Just implement the basic line calculator. Don't worry about overflow of your data types. Just take input up to 200 characters. Support + - / * and generate correct answers based off that. Don't worry about white space, invalid cha...

Well it is mainly about string parsing. Obviously you have to do some simple math calculations (+ - / *) but I had no requirement for doing floating point or just doing integer math and left that up to each coder. Some put a little more work into it to handle other operations since it is a very simp...

Charles, I picture you taking a couple hits off your bong and being totally stoned when you come online here! :) After a couple posts do you get the munchies? i'm back to wondering again... whats after a floating point number and can our ataris compute such a number? like if we had a ,32767 array of...

Doesn't Linksys make a WRT54GL also that is geared towards those wanting to put Linux on it? Not sure if they suit your needs at all.

So Charles, you still working on your new version?
