Nice one DrewPee, runs fast here too, it just need a "delta time" code to control scroller speed

Thanks for the greetings!

:-)  Nice 1

ahhhh, I remember my first demo on the C64....  Had a logo swinging left to right, a plain right to left scroller, and 8 bouncing sprites just hanging out.  Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah.

Nice one. Is there a speed limiter/vsync/timer or not? The scroller and stars here go quite faster than I'd like to enjoy and read it..

No - im still working on a timing system - ive got another piece of code on here at the mo which also needs a slowdown me thinks!

Will sort and re-release it i think - either that or a new demo . . . :D

Thanks for the nice comments.

@bikerboy!
Thanks for the post! I have written one or two bits since then! I still have a lot to learn - this place is certainly the best place to be though!

As you will see with some of my stuff - it was written on a laptop that wasn't very fast! So on most computers they do run way to fast! I need to understand a little more on delta timing! :)

Thanks! I do need to do something new though! I love retro demos tho so . . . :(
If you ever want any of the code I use just ask . . . A lot of it has come from here anyway - they are a great help on here!

thanx man ;D that would be great :D

i'm still at the beginning of learning freebasic , and so far i only know how to make a calculator lol , load a .bmp and make a simple text line move on the screen.

right now i'm struggling to load the .bmp and at the same time show the text on the screen over the image but can't make it happen :skint:

after i figure that one out i'll try and load a christmas tune and voila a "cardtro" :P
