Subject: [stella] I made it here, finally! From: Manuel Polik <manuel.polik@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 10:23:16 +0100 |
Hi! I'm new to the list, thought I introduce myself a bit in my first mail. It's only fair I think, since I know you all from the archives :-) I'm 26 years old, located in germany (That explains my bad english hopefully) and normally code CTI- Client/Server Applikations for the Tenovis (former Bosch Telecom) Callcenter. I recently re-discovered all this Atari - Fun I had in my childhood via emulation and started collecting that stuff again on flea-markets (I've now the Keyboard controllers, which I didn't get for X-Mas '82! :-)). Then I found all these Homebrew games and located this list as the origin of most of these and decided to join it. I was very good in coding C64 stuff some 10 years ago and I find myself getting very fast familiar with the stella concepts. Things I'm doing ATM: - My main goal is to port Exidys 'Star Fire' from the C64 to the 2600. I'm halfway through with disassembling the C64 version. - In order to understand the basic concepts of doing this game on the Atari, I started to reverse-engineer 'Starmaster' being not only the best 2600 game in this genre, but very similar to 'Star Fire'. I'm aprox. 5% into the game now, most interesting thing I discovered so far is how the map works. - Then I'm going through all the code posted to the list, to learn, learn & learn... (this will eventually result in some special holiday binary from me for the list, there's a very funny idea I had, I'm sure you'll love it!) So, enough introducing, some little things I want to ask for: - I'm curious what other people on the list are currently working on, please tell me/us! (Uh... I said 'us' in my first mail...) - I'm searching as much reverse engineered code from original games as I can get, so if someone wants to share his attempts with me, please mail them to me. (the usual ones from Nicks page plus Solaris I already have).
