Gigatron Hackers

Looks pretty awesome. write a custom line routine for the vines, (very simple one that saves background pixels and then restores them).

I was going to do Pitfall as my next project, but I'll move onto River Raid.

There's a good explanation of the difference between the two registers here, by Marcel: https://forum.gigatron.io/viewtopic.php?t=138 1) serialRaw is the raw bits read from the shift register every 60Hz. 2) buttonState is an edge triggered representation of serialRaw that the native ROM creates for ...

The emulator does allow you to test with a simulated controller, if you press CTRL+H you will see the AWSD SPACE Z . / keys map to the controller, these are fully handled in the same way as a real controller. This means that you can detect any combination of them using code similar to what Axel post...

Enter/Return to change the time, Delete/End to run application.

There is a bunch of them, including transcendental's. The compiler generates static data using these functions at compile time. There are two reasons to use these static initialisation functions: 1) They generate no code on the Gigatron, so they are generally very cheap, (in terms of CPU cycles). 2)...

Sorry typo, there's different ways of referencing MIDI files, one is through MIDI ID's, (the one we are using in this example), so the play command should look like this: P.S. I'll add better error output for this in the next release.

Because the sound is playing in the background, yeah you need to do something else, i.e. loop and draw some graphics, get some input, or just a busy loop, etc.

It's pretty simple to convert .midi files to .gtmidi and even easier to play them back in gtBASIC. 1) Make sure you have gtMIDI and miditones built and available at a command line/terminal. 2) Type gitmidi at the command line and it will tell you exactly what to do. 3) For the Gigatron the maximum c...

Ok, whatever, you don't want to let it go, here's some facts: 1) You were mad that ROMvX0 was taking too long. 2) Either you or Hans leaked it, (probably multiple times), when it was a private repo for about a year. 3) You wanted to control ROMvX0 by having me "give" you all my code so you...

And for the record after you showed me this new stuff, (which is great btw), you said you would not create a competing ROM, but within weeks you had. The reason "I saw competition" is because you created it and then started flaunting it, remember this comment "well what are you going...
