Hi there,
as you might have noticed from the other recent thread of mine... I am trying to get a new Vectrex package/project together.
Vextrex Integrated Development Environment
I would like to add as much helpfull stuff as possible.
This can be:
- source code as examples
- tools I can integrate (I will convert anything to java and the source will be available)
- texts that may help
- images/picture
I have much stuff I collected or created - so I am fairly confident, that even without help I will create an overall "interesting" VIDE.
Anyway - I have started asking (in private) other people if they would care to contribute in any way - or the other way arround if there are any objections.
So I ask ALL OF YOU. Do you have material, that you would consider offering me to include?
I am mainly interested in the above mentioned "stuff", but that may be, because I haven't thought of anything else yet :-)!
- are programmers out there, that are waiting for the right opportunity to release some sources?
- any sources to tools I can capture?
- or algorithms, that e.g. convert one vector format of some program xy to be used with vectrex?
- or documents?
(I am not interested in any binaries, I want to share knowledge, not spread games!)
I will make sure that:
- credit and copyright notices (links?) are in place
- you will receive (when the time comes) a prerelease to "check" your stuff
- I will take care, that only "workable" stuff is included (that might mean I have to even tweak some sources)
I have as yet not been able to contact:
- John Dondzila, I have several sources here, I would like to include... anyone able to reach him?
- same goes for Alex Herbert (sources to battery baked high scores, sources to VecVox and VecFlash...)
I got all sources "free" on the internet, so I will probably include them as long as I don't get negative response, but it would be nice to at least let them know and have a say... (... I bet they have other interesting stuff lying around :-) )
If you have anything for me to include... you can PM me or just answer in the thread... or just "spread the word"... .
For "huge" stuff I can provide a ftp upload area.
Thanks for listening...
Malban
And just for the fun of it, some stuff I already "gathered"...
- Chris Tumber, sources for Omega Chase and his documents
- sources of "Frog" demos (electric force, rainy, invitron)
- sources of the Nuance demos (Epic, Lineart, Bresenham, ...)
- I just today received the sources of the mentioned mod2Vectrex, I will try to convert them to java this weekend
- Thrust sources from Ville Krumlinde... (which really are a challenge to Assi!)
