Stuff I am working on
I originally started coding in C but the available C compiler is
somewhat broken.
I have switched some of my source to ASM now, to assemble I use
the Frankenstein as6809 Cross Assembler and this hex2bin converter.
I recently started using xfig and this converter to do graphics with.
Chris Tumber who wrote V-Model for DOS for making vec friendly asm shapes
says he'll send me the source someday...
Chris Salomon wrote a DOS utility to convert Atari .YM music files to
Vectrex Assembler, I ported it to Unix, here it is.
This version outputs asm in Frankenstein format, the assembler I use.
Here is a version that outputs AS09 assembler, there is no version
of AS09 for Unix but it runs under DOSEMU.
Games in Progress
Posers Must Die! -or- Spike's Slam Pit
Spike is the oldest, toughest punk in town and he's ready to do what it
takes to clean up the scene! (Hey, I had to make something up)
About 20% complete maybe (?) Pre-Alpha binary: reactor.bin
Note: about 0% done after I start ASM port.
Spudster's Revenge
Molly and Spud return in this adaptation of the most controversial
Atari 2600 title ever: Custer's Revenge.
Started as a C project using Chris Salomon's port of GCC.
I gave up on the C version, working on ASM port ...
No download yet ...
Links to other Vectrex developers (all of them better than me)
(in Alphabetical Order)
John Dondzila the first '90s Vectrex Devel
Ronen Habot has done a few games: Vecboom, Vecrace and Rounders.
Manu PKP is working on a Boxing game for the Vectrex.
Chris Salomon wrote V-Frogger, which is exactly what it sounds like.
Christopher L. Tumber is the author of Omega Chase Deluxe, Tsunami (Tempest),
VIX (Qix), "Zattle Bone", Missle Lords (original game!) and Spinnerama
(games modified to use the atari 2600 driving controller).
Kristof Tuts has been working on Vector Patrol (Moon Patrol), Vectruss
(Gyruss), Vectarians (Galaxians) and Vectorion (???).
Development Tools
Richard Hutchinson's VECRAM is a RAMcart which allows you to load any
vectrex ROM from any OS on any machine that has a serial port. In
theory anyway.
Mark Shaker sells cart cases, PCBs and EPROMS, everything you
need to make your own cart if you have an EPROM burner.
