Re: [M100] Finally won a round of Text Sweeper

Hi John, This sounds expected. If you clear a square with no adjacent mines it reveals that square and all adjacent squares. You can probably replicate this by flagging a square on the opening move, and selecting a square next to it. Since on the opening move you never will have a mine in

Re: [M100] Oh no - think my internal nicad finally given up theghost

According to the Tandy 102 service manual, the trickle charge rate is 1.2 mA (Typ.) On a 80 mAH battery, that’s a rate of .015C. I believe that would be safe for NiMH. Energizer says in their datasheet: “Finally a maintenance (or trickle) charge rate of less than 0.025 C (C/40) is

Hi, I'll need to look at the code again, but I believe the entire playfield I stored in a matrix array. I also declared two arrays(long enough to represent every cell) to act as a stack(sort of). There are two counting integers also, for Read and Write. When you check a cell, it marks the

Awesome. I’ve been a bit inactive with my Model 102 since I’m studying for a very big exam on Saturday. Been preparing for almost 6 months, but now it’s almost over. I have plans for a few more games, and once I’ve got some free time I’ll start evaluating them ☺ Anywho, glad to know

[M100] Installing Machine Language Programs

Hi all, I’m going to try and make a long story short. I’ve got DeskLink working with my M102 w/REX. My idea is to create a bunch of REX RAM images grouped by type of applications, and then just using REXMGR to bring in the applications I need from each image. So for BASIC programs this is a

Hi all, So I’m a bit too young to know if there was any kind of a “laptop war” between Tandy and Epson, but I’ve recently seen this Epson PX-8 online, and it seems interesting. Does anyone have experience with this? How does it stack up against the M100/102? It looks like it has an 80-column
