Commander X16

Are you using the emulator? It has to be launched with the -rtc argument for the clock to be set.

This is to be expected on a 60Hz screen, since the VERA (and the emulator's implementation of it) is clocked to ~59.5Hz for VGA output. Therefore you get a duplicate frame every couple seconds.

The default is 0 (in the default palette, black).

This isn't the first time I've seen CD-ROM support discussed. If someone wants to make such a thing and are capable of doing so, they should go for it. As most of what we're doing serves no practical purpose, it's all a bit of fun and there are no bad ideas. What I like about the tape discussion is ...

Yep, a newer version can be found at https://github.com/cx16forum/sdcard/tre ... AMES/QUARX (was renamed from Xixit to Quarx "to avoid any IP conflict").

Ants! You'd also be limited to 128 of 'em by the VERA capping at 128 sprites, unless doing something clever.

It would have been nice if the sound could play in the background so the ready prompt does not have to wait for the sound to finish before showing. Easiest way to achieve sound playback in the background is to dump to the PCM buffer and forget about it. But then it gets crunchy due to being limited...

Interesting library. I kinda like this queue system; it reminds me of the ECS pattern, at least the System part of it. Some ideas, not so much requests: Overloads to only add a task if it isn't already in the queue. For example, in a multiplayer game, if two players press the Start button on the sam...

I have a foggy recollection my...

Thanks, Tom and MooingLemur. I thought that could just be moved to mouse_config but it seems things got a little more complicated. At least it wasn't by much. Hopefully the reduced clobbering will merged one way or another.
