I’m glad to hear it.    BTW: I merged your GitHub fork so the next update will 
include the .BA files.

 

I do not yet have DeskLink installed.  The YouTube link in your previous email 
was broken.   The link to http://ftp.whtech.com/club100/com/dl-arc.exe on the 
http://club100.org/catalog.html#hotsetup is broken.      I did find it at 
https://github.com/bkw777/dl2 but was unsuccessful at getting it to run on 
Windows.   I might explore that some more.

 

In the meantime, I dusted off the BackPack module I purchased from Jeff Birt a 
while ago and it is a viable way of moving .BA files to and from the M100 and 
NEC.    This means I can now make bigger programs without having to worry about 
leaving room for both the .BA and .DO.  Your tokenizing tool will come in very 
handy.

 

I do like how Ken added the cats.  I might add them to my version that doesn’t 
use ASCII Pixels.    My things to do sometime list includes learning ASCII 
Pixels.   I can see where this can be very useful for a variety of things.

The only issue I ran into (and it is a minor one) is that it doesn't work on my 
Tandy 200 so I had to use Virtual T. 

1.      There is a graphical glitch in the doorways that causes pixel debris. 
It looks like when a horizontal line is erased to create a north-south 
passageway, the erasure starts two or three pixels too far to the left which 
cuts into  the vertical wall. (See: 
https://gist.github.com/hackerb9/459e2192a8fcf9c4af6430598ed098ac).
2.      The.DO file cannot be run because the Tandy 200 has only 24K (per bank) 
so there is not enough memory to store both the .DO file and create the .BA 
file. You may want to consider offering a pre-tokenized 
<https://github.com/hackerb9/tokenize>  .BA file for download. If you use 
Github Actions, you can set it so that each 'git push' of the .DO file will 
automatically create a fresh .BA file. (For exampe, see the Makefile 
<https://github.com/hackerb9/M100LE/blob/main/Makefile>  and Workflow 
<https://github.com/hackerb9/M100LE/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yaml>  
for M100LE <https://github.com/hackerb9/M100LE/> ).
3.      Only half the screen is used.

 

Problem #1 is actually a bug in the Virtual T emulator! 

 



Your Mouse in a Maze works fine on my actual Tandy 200.
