Just saw this now.

It's been a wee while since I fired up the nabu.

Maybe I should make another game eh?

I went to all the effort of checking the jumpers on mine to make sure they were the same as yours. They are. Crucially jumper 4 must be off. Mine works flawlessly. Perhaps double check the thing is seated firmly in the socket and then maybe reflow soldier joints. Intermittent issues can often be som...

Cool - okay so that's good to know that I'm not going mad. I might push an update to the games to force writing to the correct user and drive. It makes sense to keep the high score data together with the game binary. And thanks too for the fancy __at (0x0004) uint8_t CPM_USER_DRIVE; thing.

ok so the data is in address 0x04. Here is the c code that extracts that data in my invaders game tests... /* headers */ uint8_t _CCP; char current_vol; uint8_t user_area; char hs_filename[16]; /* code */ void main(void) { __asm ld a,(0x0004); ld (__CCP),a __endasm; current_vol = (_CCP & 0x0f) +...

Of course it does. Okay. I'll do some experimenting and see if we can't improve things a bit. I'll keep ya posted

Yay! Thanks DJ. Did you play the new invaders game? I noticed some things. I guess it's because the game tries to read and save the high score. It appears to be struggling to do that. I did all my testing on drive C: user area 0 and it seems to be no issue there. I suspect it's something to do with ...

After much gnashing of teeth, I have decided to release version 3.5 of the Nabu Games. Get yours here: https://github.com/linuxplayground/nabu ... s/tag/v3.5

Have fun!

I have completed the work on invaders now. I will issue a new post announcing the release. To close off the stand-up the final features completed are: - 3 player lives with player lives indicated on the top right of the screen. When starting after death, the ship will flash briefly before carrying o...

Thanks again for testing.

I might have to create some space below the tank to show lives left. Or can make the whole play area narrower and use the left and right side somehow. The original was in portrait mode which meant more space vertically than I have on the nabu.

I have updated invaders with the new notes and increased game speed as aliens get destroyed. I found a good way to do it. (I think.) game feels pretty good now. Harder for sure. Same links as before ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rCSw5nK8OvdI_GswvzP7s1lki9GhL-dh/view?usp=drive_link ) Or get the ...
