Volfied Day 4

Today I encounted, that it’s possible to gain 100k in Level II by getting the 2nd red signed extra. That’s a difference Also interesting. This game is really a good choice for a competition. Xerus is only some points behind, so it will end like allways I guess, but I had enough fun.
After some time of silence in the dbug shadow forum, shw posted a score. Nice, come one guys.

Volfied Day 3

I think I got the clue now. You have to find the right way to get the extras in each level. I managed to reach Level 6 now. And I was very close to level 7

To do a screenshot, I had some problems, because just in that moment the batteries of my camera was empty. So I had to wait some minutes until it was recharged. Next the cardreader didn’t recognized the SD card. But finally I worked.

I got 199680 points, and manged to beat the score of StickHead.

Kick Off training day 1

Today I only practise. Frank gave me a tipp, and I tried it out, and he was right. I have to train now a lot this kind of goalshot. It’s allready the second tipp of Frank. Many thanks.

Volfied day 2

I got no new highscore, but I enjoyed the game for half an hour. I found out that in Level 3 there are extras’s. They are a little bit hidden in the corners. The game is of course a test of your concentration, and in Level 2 you simply need to wait until the right extra is close by and the nasties are far away. But easy to say, and hard to practise

Replaced Pidgin by Quassel

After some mounth with Pidgin as IRC client, I read that the new Kubuntu 9.04 includes Quassel, so I gave it a chance, and I like it. So I now use it as my IRC client. Pidgin allways worked fine, so many thanks to the authors for their great job.

Projekt Zaehbra – Coder weekend II: Did some fingertraining in C coding for the Zaehbra project

After a period of java coding, it was cool to come back to c again. But of course you get used to some structures like lists (vectors etc.). This has to be written in plain C by yourself, so did I. It was funny in the end to see a double chained list working in the end. This lists will be the main structures to controll the objects like enemies,barriers,tiles etc. in the game, so it was an important part of the game and the engine. Therefor there is nothing to show, but let’s see what will happen the next coderweekend

HomeCon 05/09

For the first time some retro related people organize a meeting called HomeCon in Seligenstadt (near Frankfurt), to simple meet each other and do what every you like with your old stuff.

I heard about the event via a retro group at Wer-kennt-wenn and so I organised, that the RMKO group do a Kick Off training there.

Ok we were only Frank and I, but it was a start. It was hard to get to Seligenstadt, because I missed the highway exit twice, and then I found out, that it was i a subburb, and so it took me more time from the exit to the location than from Wiesbaden to the exit.

Frank told me he also had some problems, so I felt not that alone

The meeting was i a kind of a town hall and we had a room with enough space, but there was a lack of powersupply plug-ins. While this minnor problem was solved, I had a quick look around, and saw a loot of Commodore C64 and C128 people, one Atarian, a lonly Amstrad user and a coleco fan.

Frank was impressed by the internet kit called Commodore 64. I heard of it before, but it was interesting to see it in real. Also interesting for me, to see a C65 in real.

Together with some cakes the power plug-in was delivered and so we start playing Kick Off. The people was impressed by our enthusiasm (Jawohl), and so get some attraction. In the end there was at least one person who showed his old skills. He has talent (scored a goal against the german vice-champion), and we hope he will join a tournament next time.

Here are the results:

Thorsten B – Frank F
3-4,0-7,1-5,1-2,0-9,3-10,2-6,3-7,1-7,0-6,0-7,2-12,0-11,1-6,1-7,1-14,0-7

The table:
1. Frank F. 51 points 127 goals
2. Thorsten B. 0 points 19 goals

So I would say a good 2nd place for me.

I also give a bag of DD Disks (some 100 pieces) away for free, and the people liked them a lot, so finally they came to good hands, that was fine for me.

Later Hans the main organizer of the VCFe joined the meeting, and once again he invited me to the VCFe. It is next week, but I’m not prepared, but well Hans real has good arguments to join the meeting, so next Year I will do so I think

Then it was time to leave. One of the organizers told us, that the next date will be the 6th of June.

My first ATARI ST shrine

I used Frog, my CT60 bosted Falcon and Pivo another Falcon of mine as the table legs. Then I put a wooden board on top of them and put my ATARI 520 STM bought in 1987 on top of them. That’s a shrine. I also good some ideas to pimp it even more.

Volfied Day II

Well to finish level one you go to the left, get the first extra bottom left. Then get the 2 nd from top on the left side. Now you should have a speed up, and it should be easy to kill the nasties and finally the dragon.

In Level 2 you should try to get a speed up, so wait under a extra until it appears and then unlock it. Then with a speedup, same than level one.

There are no extras in Level 3, so I do a lot of little boxes, to first get rid of the nasties and then finally the dragon. Here I need more concentration.

In Level 4 there are extras again

My score of today was 133580
In Level 5 the Nasties are faster
