Judy: they have been around, have kept them going and going Pamela: speaking of which - Dale, do you want some help with next year's con planning? Dale/AC16: Jean is right into most of the sessions, but Jack says that we're talking a different language. Judy: daughter was looking for them one night Rich-drags-Rin: Some silly ones...I wanted to make sure there was proof I'd been here (not just behind the camera), so I made some "creative" shots at a few points. Dale/AC16: Pam, I'll never deny help. Judy: sounded a little concerned snakepit-Ron: but they're both there Dale/AC16: The 'con gets less complex to put on all the time though. Judy: they go home nights Pamela: i've discovered that since I planned a wedding, I can do anything : ). If you want some help, just let me know what you need. snakepit-Ron: yes, I suppose they would snakepit-Ron: Still remember Jean's line at ADAMCOn 4 Rich-drags-Rin: ADAMcon under a tent outside, I like that idea.

Meeka: cuz dial up sux, It is sooooooooooooooooo slow snakepit-Ron: ya got that right Meeka Pamela: can't say I disagree with that Pamela: however, first I have to be able to afford it and right now that's not an option Meeka: when your used to DSL at home it is even slower!!! Roberto: how's the job going Pam ???? Dale/AC16: Ron, I've been traveling to Vancouver about once a month lately. Judy: sometimes you have to come down a little, Meeka Guy B.: I love my DSL.

Guy B.: And look how much money you are saving too. Judy: at least you will not have far to travel next year so no excuses Pamela: well, just by turning in my Metropass, I've saved over $1000 a year Judy: we are expecting to see you there the Joan-inator: for some reason this froze for a while on my end. Then about 20 messages came up at once Harvie: Fer sure Rich-drags-Rin: It does that sometimes, Joan. Guy B.: Pam, I'm looking forward to seeing you next year.

Guy B.: I have no doubt, that she will NOT let you down. Daniel Bienvenu: anyway, this weird bug appear in other projects like a character randomly printed on screen. Rich-drags-Rin: he's trying to get me in trouble Rich-drags-Rin: <smucks Rich's arm> Rich-drags-Rin: ow Roberto: Rin says ....."don't tell Pammie, but I am using HER money to buy tickets for me ......." Dale/AC16: I've tuned a good version, and I will post it on my web site with a new ROM with the animation fixed. Guy B.: That's got to hurt. Rich-drags-Rin: hehehe, now he's pouting...someone get the camera :-) HLM: no comments Pamela: Guy, smack Rich - and while you're at it, smack Bob too Dale/AC16: Daniel, character's randomly printing on the screen, I've seen. snakepit-Ron: no need for any of you to buy tickets
(Guy B. slaps Rich-drags-Rin playfully) Pamela: LOL Dale/AC16: But every time you send me a library, it seems you send me a new version. Pamela: wow, violence-by-proxy - ya gotta love it Rich-drags-Rin: now we're being hit by Guy Roberto: and this would be WHY ron ??????? Guy B.: He's pouting now. Rich-drags-Rin: It's the video game generation that did it.
Roberto changed username to BobS Dale/AC16: I always thought that the wierd characters were due to blown stack. the Joan-inator: An orchectra...sax and violins Rich-drags-Rin: That is true, Dale; I am a weird character and my stack is definitely blown. Dale/AC16: Usually it is debug code that triggers it for me. When I disable the debug code, it startis working again. snakepit-Ron: hmmmm on further reflection, I better not make any smarta** remarks about winning tickets Dale/AC16: But maybe it is the timing conflict you talked about. Pamela: you're not eligible Ron - you have one already! Rich-drags-Rin: We will mail you the winning afghan as a ball of yarn, Ron. snakepit-Ron: I know... but a fella has to try ya know Guy B.: That's right. Others get to have a crack at this years. Daniel Bienvenu: it looks like because we want to do too much things between two refresh, the project is going crazy Rich-drags-Rin: I guess me too, I have one from one of the conventions, can't remember which one. BobS: hey Pamm, Ron is in for $50......so what will it be for you ???? Pamela: I just love that purple - it would look soooo nice at the end of my bed, on the green comforter Guy B.: Don't fall for it Pam. Rich-drags-Rin: It's the higher/lower game on Price Is Right... Pamela: whatever $20 Canadian will get me ( or whatever of mine that Erin hasn't spent yet) BobS: and BEHIND DOOR # 3 ??????? Pammie !!!!!!!!!!!1 Rich-drags-Rin: That is what Photoshop is good for, Pam <runs> Dale/AC16: Well, Daniel, the traditional fix to that is to only do screen updates during the nmi, and do all the calculations outside. Daniel Bienvenu: but someone here suggest to alway read the video status register after the video update to "reset" the vdp BobS: she done SPENT it all on boots today Dale/AC16: It is a particular coding style. Pamela: you better run! Guy B.: Erin, you better not let her down or do you have other things in mind?????? HLM: I need it to keep my babies warm... so I will fax the winning dollar bill to the convention :) Rich-drags-Rin: Run run run just as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Dr.D. Man! Daniel Bienvenu: by using delay and nmi, it's exactly what we do snakepit-Ron: boots were made for walkin' Rich-drags-Rin: now I have to buy a matching hat guy BobS: you already owe GMK for shirts Herman, jsut call him and tell him to buy some tickets too Rich-drags-Rin: Fringed leather vest and bullwhip, too.
(Guy B. snickers evilly) Rich-drags-Rin: don't forget the chaps Pamela: I thought you already had the whip? the Joan-inator: Indiana Jones or Devo? Rich-drags-Rin: yes, but that wasn't common knowledge snakepit-Ron: So did anyone find Rosie's Cantina? Rich-drags-Rin: Devo is good. Pamela: Sorry, that's Graeme, isn't it? HLM: Meeka will just toss mine out the window so she can win and Pam will help her Rich-drags-Rin: I think it was near the Mos Eisley Spaceport, Ron. Harvie: I must call it a night, have fun in El Paso... no matter where you are Daniel Bienvenu: delay use it (read vdp register) if the nmi interrupts is disabled, and the nmi do it (and it's the first thing it did) Rich-drags-Rin: good night Harvie snakepit-Ron: that's Roswell Dale/AC16: You notice in gift run, I was doing all my calculations, then delay then drawing the screen. Guy B.: Bye Harvie, we'll see you on Wednesday. BobS: ok Harvie, see you next Wed Rich-drags-Rin: So long, Harvie <Dr.D.> Pamela: Goodnite Harvie, see you Wednesday
Harvie left chat session Dale/AC16: That should minimize the chances of an overlaping screen update and nmi. Dale/AC16: Goodnight Harvie. Rich-drags-Rin: How high is the grass at home, Joan? I imagine it is pretty tall by now... Dale/AC16: I'll email you later. Rich-drags-Rin: Since I didn't get the lawn mowed before I left. Daniel Bienvenu: yes, but it looks like weird bugs still there... whatever I try. the Joan-inator: I didn't really notice. Not too bad HLM: mine needs cutting and I am here and done it a week ago snakepit-Ron: brb Pamela: was at Mom and Dad's today - theirs is fine Rich-drags-Rin: Has it been rainy? the Joan-inator: ergghh..the people next door are having a reaally loud argument BobS: when mumsy and dadsy comin' home Pam ????? HLM: not too bad rich Rich-drags-Rin: uh-oh the Joan-inator: It rained yesterday. Sunny today BobS: jjktooktrailer out for how much time? Dale/AC16: Well, I'll have to try to find some time for a special test case, and then maybe I can narrow it down. You have to read that VDP register to clear the NMI, and allow it to send another one. Pamela: they'll be home Wednesday afternoon Bob - Dad has an appt with the electrocardiologist on Thursday at 10:00 am. Then they're heading out again Daniel Bienvenu: I notice a possible problem with at least two of my functions in getput1 library. But I need someone to help me finishing the update to improve it. Pamela: just enough time to pick the garden and do the laundry : ) Dale/AC16: Jill starts school Monday so she has to leave the 'Con early. Pamela: is she flying out tomorrow Dale? Daniel Bienvenu: There are more coleco programmers now. Many are interrested in programming in C because it looks more simple. Dale/AC16: Well, Daniel, I've been using them to work on various projects, so maybe I'll be able to get into it. Daniel Bienvenu: Before releasing the new getput version with new features like the "double buffering effect" used in gift run, etc... Guy B.: I'm surprised since Coleco abandoned the Adam and Colecovision. There is an interest again in classic videogame systems and now new games for these systems. I'm glad there are people like Daniel, who want to bring these back. Daniel Bienvenu: I have too many tests to do. Daniel Bienvenu: but this weird bug, never looks the same but is visible mostly when running on cartridge. that makes me crazy Dale/AC16: Do you have a small example that you can email me;. Dale/AC16: Then I can try and trace through the code and try to spot the race condition. Daniel Bienvenu: well, the gamepack#2 cartridge you have, is an example of weird bug visible when the rom is into the cartridge snakepit-Ron: de retour Pamela: all is well Ron? Dale/AC16: The flickery sprites? snakepit-Ron: had to do Mom's ear drops Dale/AC16: Do you see those too? snakepit-Ron: in addition to everything else, she has an ear infection Pamela: oh dear Daniel Bienvenu: I fixed it by rewriting the update sprites part, but it only reduce the time to update sprites, it doesn't do more than that. the Joan-inator: another tiger ear done Dale/AC16: Also we have two feature requests for your tools. Pamela: I gather these are for the soccer team Joan? snakepit-Ron: sounds like Tiger could use some ears snakepit-Ron: or something Daniel Bienvenu: the flickery sprites? I had this bug in Miss Space Fury. one week before the deadline I never know this bug was there until someone show me a video-clip of my game running on a real coelco. Dale/AC16: ICVGM doesn't highlight which color square will change when you click on the pallete color to set it to. Daniel Bienvenu: ICVGM v3 was done quickly
BobS left chat session Dale/AC16: It seems to work well though. Daniel Bienvenu: it's ICVGM v2 but with another character editor part Dale/AC16: And in ICVGM, I'd like an easy way to prepare multiple name tables. the Joan-inator: Yeah, the high school nickname is the Tigers Daniel Bienvenu: multiple screens? snakepit-Ron: aha.... Daniel Bienvenu: I suppose it could be done Dale/AC16: v2 doesn't give you any feedback about what a click on the colour palette will change either. the Joan-inator: I had to turn on some music to drown out the fight next doo Rich-drags-Rin: Chat is winding down? Bob just left. Dale/AC16: There is a manual way to do multiple name tables of course. Judy: I am back Meeka just went off to bed Rich-drags-Rin: What is it about, Joan? Dale/AC16: But I usually want one char set, and a few prepared backgrounds. snakepit-Ron: another long day in the am awaaits Pamela: where did Bob go? Dale/AC16: Bob seems to have gone to bed. the Joan-inator: I don't know. It's muffled, but I can hear a few "I told you girl"s Judy: he is probably on his way up here DougS: bob went to his room and will join chat on judy's pc. Guy B.: Bob is heading back Judy Daniel Bienvenu: @Dale: I can program on icvgm v3 during next week. but I'm wondering more about updating and improving my getput library snakepit-Ron: we're all gettin older ya know - no more long periods of sleep deprivation Daniel Bienvenu: all this Judy: speak for yourself, Ron Daniel Bienvenu: all the asm coding to read and understand. DougS: not the way jack and jean have been running us ragged :) eating at their schedule is different. snakepit-Ron: :) HLM: actually the older I get I THINK the LESS I sleep Rich-drags-Rin: It's been true for me, Herman, but it's because I've had more to do. Judy: he just arrived the Joan-inator: What's sleep? snakepit-Ron: keeps ya movin eh Doug? Daniel Bienvenu: Ho! about the asm coding. What is the utility of "LD A,I" and "LD A,R" ? Pamela: I'm with Joan Dale/AC16: Daniel, don't worry too much about ICVGM. The new double buffered version of getput is the most improtant. Rich-drags-Rin: The 2nd one is a cheap way to get a somewhat random number. DougS: lunch at 11am, supper at 4pm ron. Pamela: the sugar high from my ice cream is wearing off Rich-drags-Rin: The first, you need for some kinds of interrupt handling. Dale/AC16: LD A,R gives you a pseudo random number., Rich-drags-Rin: I am fuzzy on the details, I have to look at my Z80 manual for LD A,I. snakepit-Ron: a hour offset Dale/AC16: It is the value of the refresh register.
moved to room Meeting Place Daniel Bienvenu: the refresh register?
changed username to Pamela Guy B.: We have twins. Rich-drags-Rin: it actually is the current memory refresh register counter...it auto-increments, so calling it too often leads to very non-random numbers. Dale/AC16: LD A,I is not used on the Adam. It is used for one of the IM vector modes, I think. Pamela: darn it, I just got dumped Daniel Bienvenu: do you think it can be used to improve the getput library to avoid problems? HLM: That is more so because of Jack;s diabeties (?) I would guess they approached GK and I one year with about the same request
Pamela changed username to Pamela again HLM: even paid for a early lunch a few times Pamela again: there, now you know which one to delete snakepit-Ron: no wonder I'm slowing up - have Ie running twice
Guy B. requested to ban Pamela
Pamela again confirmed ban
Dale/AC16 confirmed ban Pamela again: am I still here?
DougS confirmed ban Pamela again: apparently Daniel Bienvenu: yes Pam! Guy B.: Ok, Pam, You're one again. Dale/AC16: The refresh register is the register that hits every row of addresses in RAM to keep the memory values alive.
Rich-drags-Rin confirmed ban
snakepit-Ron confirmed ban Dale/AC16: (the high 8 bits of the 16 bit address register) Rich-drags-Rin: E pamela unum. Pamela again: Dale, here's one for you - just before I got dumped, I started updating at the top of my chat - this has been happening a lot recently Rich-drags-Rin: and 8 bits are in a byte? Dale/AC16: As long as the LD A,R calls are timing wise "co-prime" with the 256 cycles, it will be reasonablly random. Rich-drags-Rin: And half a byte is a nibble. snakepit-Ron: ok..... yes, that'll do it Rich-drags-Rin: And Rin just ate my candy bar! Rich-drags-Rin: you lie!! Dale/AC16: Pam, it is a maximum buffer size for the history in the Java implementation of IE, as I understand it. Pamela again: I warned you about American chocolate, Rin Rich-drags-Rin: it was only half Guy B.: Well, looks like we have a case of deniel. Daniel Bienvenu: I have another suggestion here. Using a byte in RAM as a flag. this flag can be set to say to the nmi to do nothing before we are updating the video memory. snakepit-Ron: no fighting over the chocolate please Rich-drags-Rin: Da Nile is in Egypt, right? Pamela again: oh okay. It never used to do that though Rich-drags-Rin: wookie sounds Guy B.: Not that Dr D. Daniel Bienvenu: sounds too complex to me Pamela again: Russell just got home Rich-drags-Rin: Let the Wookie win. Rich-drags-Rin: Hi Russell <R&R> snakepit-Ron: I'm powerless over choccolate Daniel Bienvenu: but probably a good solution for newbies who don't have enough experience with the interrupts and coelco programming Pamela again: he says 'hello" Judy: hi, Russell Guy B.: Don't ask me about chocolate. My girlfriend gave me some and it's sitting in my fridge at home. At least it won't melt. snakepit-Ron: Hi Russel the Joan-inator: Anyo hasayo! Rich-drags-Rin: ?? the Joan-inator: Hello in KOrean HLM: hi Russel
DougS left chat session Pamela again: He says hi back to everyone but it's dinnertime Pamela again: He just waved sweet and sour chicken balls under my nose snakepit-Ron: at midnight? Daniel Bienvenu: @Dale: Remark: if you try to compile the sample#1 with a previous version of my getput library, it doesn't work because the compile is unable to find the calc_offset function. So it's why I added a new version with the source code I sent to you for the presentation. Pamela again: well yes, when your shift runs from 12P to 12A HLM: food is good anytime Judy: you eat dinner at this time of the night, Pam? snakepit-Ron: ya got that right Herman Rich-drags-Rin: I AGREE HERMAN Pamela again: no, Russell's eating dinner snakepit-Ron: if it wasn't for food, I wouldn't be half the man I am Pamela again: I ate before I got online Judy: I seeee the Joan-inator: Well, it sounds like the fight next door is done Rich-drags-Rin: What was it about? Pamela again: did you ever discover the reason for the fight Joan? snakepit-Ron: a domestic altercation? Daniel Bienvenu: err... I didn't sent to you a new getput version with source code. I mean, in the zip file, there is a new getput1 library version (no source code) with the smash source code. HLM: must be afull moon Joan, Cops just hauled a few folks away a few doors from me Rich-drags-Rin: hehe Daniel Bienvenu: to fix the problem I added the calc_offset function with the get and put char file. Pamela again: unfortunately, we can't use that excuse Herman - it's not till sometime next week Pamela again: I tried to use it yesterday - everyone at work was nuts the Joan-inator: I don't know. It sounded like their teenager did something and the parents were arguing with her and each other the Joan-inator: I decided to listen to music instead Dale/AC16: Daniel, yes, you send me a new version of getput with every piece of code ;-) Pamela again: well, that explains it Rich-drags-Rin: TMBG I presume Dale/AC16: I just have trouble keeping track of which version is the best one. :-) HLM: when I got hom it was loud music down that way so thair was probably a party the Joan-inator: That's what Elanor had in the computer ...Istanbul, not Constantople Daniel Bienvenu: Sorry for that but my library is in work in progress snakepit-Ron: you mean I can't go back to Constantinople? Dale/AC16: I know. It wouldn't get better if it didn't change. Rich-drags-Rin: I prefer Byzantium. Daniel Bienvenu: because I decided to erase all the disable_nmi and enable_nmi from all my functions to let the programmer have the control of its program. I didn't realize that it was a big challenge. Pamela again: oh dear, I'm hearing Johnny Cash in my head again the Joan-inator: Wouln't scan right for the song Rich-drags-Rin: Joan, Dale says TMBG have broken up. snakepit-Ron: I have this Internet station called, "Stuck in the '50s:" snakepit-Ron: pllays that kind of stuff Rich-drags-Rin: ??? Rich-drags-Rin: Dale says no, it was Moxie Fru"vious he was thinking of. Rich-drags-Rin: Sorry for the heart failure. the Joan-inator: Nope, I got an message from Flansburgh yesterday on the Team TMBG stuff Rich-drags-Rin: What Johnny Cash is stuck in your head, Pam? Rich-drags-Rin: <A BOY NAMED SUE> Pamela again: oh, and Dale? This has been bugging me for two years; you spelled discretion wrong on the adamcon.org website Dale/AC16: So how does this version (z80-2) compare with the Windows installer version? Guy B.: How do you do! snakepit-Ron: Papa sang bass, Mamma sang tenor Dale/AC16: I thought that that was the version I was going to give out. Pamela again: "Down in the West Texas town of El Paso" . . . Rich-drags-Rin: #include <std_spellcheck.h> the Joan-inator: Brent from church gave me a Moxy Fruvious CD. It was pretty good Rich-drags-Rin: He didn't sing that song first, Pam. Pamela again: so who did? snakepit-Ron: Marty Robbins Daniel Bienvenu: the version with the installer was made before I saw your gift run project. Rich-drags-Rin: I can't think of his name...he was tall and thin with a little moustache and slicked-down hair. HLM: now Ron knows his music Rich-drags-Rin: Rin called it! snakepit-Ron: I was just around back then Daniel Bienvenu: and I didn't had time to update it for the adamcon Pamela again: thank you Ron Dale/AC16: Gift Run hanged the world? I never suspected. Daniel Bienvenu: so I sent to you a folder with the compiler and at least icvgm v3 and cci Rich-drags-Rin: Have you heard from the Keiths, Joan? Dale/AC16: Yes, and a treat that is too. I'll definately use ICVGM v3 lots. Dale/AC16: I'm wondering about sprite editing with ICVGM v3. the Joan-inator: Brent and Joan may be at the guitar performance at church tomorrow. We'll see. Daniel Bienvenu: look at the right side of the window. I think you will see a button to edit sprites Dale/AC16: What does it stand for again (I ColecoVision Game M) Guy B.: Well folks, I'm going to turn in. For those here at the con, see you tomorrow morning. Judy, I expect Bob will come by again to go to breakfast. I'll see everyone else on Wednesday. Rich-drags-Rin: Hope they are okay. Rich-drags-Rin: I think I should be turning in, too. Pamela again: Gnite Guy Rich-drags-Rin: Starting to yawn. Rich-drags-Rin: Still on Cleveland time... Guy B.: Thanks again for your help Pam. I really appreciate it. Daniel Bienvenu: The first time I did ICVGM for DOS with QuickBASIC 4.5, I wanted to do a kind of Game Editor or something like that. Pamela again: any time Guy Daniel Bienvenu: ICVGM is for Instant ColecoVision Game Maker. Pamela again: I'm starting to lose it too snakepit-Ron: Interesting Compiler Versus Groovy Metamorphosis HLM: nite Guy Rich-drags-Rin: haha Ron snakepit-Ron: which means not much to me Rich-drags-Rin: You better get to bed too, Joan, church tomorrow. Pamela again: Erin, my schedule is in the living room. What time does your plane land on Monday? Daniel Bienvenu: I know ICVGM is only a graphic editor but I think I have time to build this kind of tool to make games by clicking with a mouse Guy B.: Ok, I'm off this notebook and will be shitting down until the morning. Bye.
Guy B. left chat session Rich-drags-Rin: I Can't View Green Monsters Rich-drags-Rin: Bye Guy. the Joan-inator: Yeah...So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adeiu.. snakepit-Ron: shutting down Guy Rich-drags-Rin: Bye Joanling Pamela again: goodnight Joan - great to talk to you Rich-drags-Rin: Nite to the girls who are still up Rich-drags-Rin: If any Daniel Bienvenu: Leaving? bonne nuit alors! snakepit-Ron: good talking to Joan the Joan-inator: See you tomorrow night. I love you! Rich-drags-Rin: Love you too. Daniel Bienvenu: Sorry to talk too much about coleco programming
the Joan-inator left chat session HLM: mushy mushy Rich-drags-Rin: <smirk> snakepit-Ron: awwww snakepit-Ron: I think that's cool Rich-drags-Rin: Not at all, Daniel. Rich-drags-Rin: That is what the chat is supposed to be about. Pamela again: Rich, where's Erin? Rich-drags-Rin: Dale tells me that his brother Neil has just passed all his M.S. thesis stuff! HLM: thats what conventions are for tech talk prob solving and new ideas Rich-drags-Rin: She is sitting here nodding off. Pamela again: okay. Never mind. Daniel Bienvenu: M.S. thesis? Rich-drags-Rin: I keep poking her and nothing is moving much. Rich-drags-Rin: So she is probably vegetated. Daniel Bienvenu: Master ? Pamela again: yeah, she goes out like that sometimes. snakepit-Ron: RIN- WAKE UP Rich-drags-Rin: I think I come in at 7:55 or something on Monday Rich-drags-Rin: haven't got a clue to be honest Pamela again: okay, I'll check. Rich-drags-Rin: that's why I emailled it :-) Dale/AC16: Master of Arts actually. Pamela again: it's out there! Rich-drags-Rin: Okay, yes M.A> Rich-drags-Rin: M.A. Dale/AC16: He started his phd studies last week. snakepit-Ron: <piled higher and deeper> HLM: I used that to Dr D ron, thought he was gonna shoot me Pamela again: Erin, I'll see you on Monday. Rich, talk to you Wednesday. snakepit-Ron: yeah, better watch my tongue Rich-drags-Rin: alrighty Pam have a good night HLM: when he first got his Phd Rich-drags-Rin: give my love to Schiefer Pamela again: I will. Rich-drags-Rin: Good night, Pam <RFD> HLM: note [a, Rich-drags-Rin: Rich and Rin signing off... snakepit-Ron: niters Pamela - go straight home now HLM: sorry that should of been nite Pam Rich-drags-Rin: hehe Pamela again: Goodnight to all - Dale, stay in touch about planning Rich-drags-Rin: <poof> Pamela again: Nite Herman Pamela again: Nite Dale Pamela again: Nite Judy
Rich-drags-Rin left chat session Pamela again: Nite Daniel snakepit-Ron: I am going to disappear - you guys have a good Con now. Eat something for me at the banquet Pamela again: Nite Ron Dale/AC16: Okay Pam Dale/AC16: Nite Pam Pamela again: and I'm outta here. Good trips to all! Pamela again: kerpoof Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit Pam
Pamela again left chat session Dale/AC16: See you later Ron. snakepit-Ron: Nite Pam Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit Ron HLM: Yes, my youngest is started to get whinny he has been good for the time I been on seeing that I have the nite shift on baby watch HLM: so I spect I should go tend to him snakepit-Ron: :) Daniel Bienvenu: you too Dale, you must go sleep. Tommorow is again a presentations day for you. snakepit-Ron: Pioffff Dale/AC16: :-)
snakepit-Ron left chat session HLM: Good nite and will try to check back in to see what I am missing... Dale/AC16: I have to figure out how I can rocket through some of the slides, to do more meaningful hands on stuff. Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit Daniel Bienvenu: well, if you want to chat with me about the slides Daniel Bienvenu: shoot your questions
HLM left chat session Dale/AC16: I'm scheming on how to get you to Toronto of the next AC> Daniel Bienvenu: I probably just did a too big presentation to be done like you want to do it Dale/AC16: I showed the samples of the stages of developement. Dale/AC16: It seemed pretty good. Dale/AC16: It is a question of how to compile the samples. Dale/AC16: I only had the zip file unzipped for a very little while before I began thew presentation. Daniel Bienvenu: Me? Toronto? next AC? I think it can be done. Daniel Bienvenu: I think I'm alone now
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Dale/AC16 Daniel Bienvenu: hello again Dale! Dale/AC16: Sorry. Clicked the wrong close button :-) Daniel Bienvenu: oops :-) Daniel Bienvenu: Well, I said that I think I should and could be at the next AC Dale/AC16: So the slow part is getting everyone to type more than 2 or 3 lines of source. Dale/AC16: I'd love it <big grin> Dale/AC16: Are you busy the 3rd weekend in July? the second? Daniel Bienvenu: Yannick, a new coleco programmer, may accept to help me getting there. Daniel Bienvenu: Actually, I'm looking for a job. So, my time is unpredictable for now Dale/AC16: So, the thing I need to do is make some files that they can jump into and make small edits to, then compile and try it. Daniel Bienvenu: Want my help to do that? Dale/AC16: You talk about that in your slides, but you do intensive typing, skip some important details, then drop into a test phase. Dale/AC16: Well, I'm not sure. Daniel Bienvenu: I know... but it's 80+ slides long Daniel Bienvenu: I think the smallest change is when I said to change the x coordinate from 15 to 6 and another thing to make the paddle run faster than the ball Daniel Bienvenu: Dale? Daniel Bienvenu: Dale?
