SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

I saw the video they did about this on Youtube. Fairly interesting. I am not savy enough to know if the ADAM could do something other than the BMP... Which, don't get me wrong, I love the BMP but the size starts to significantly limit what can fit on one normal image, especially if you already have...

That can be done quite easily with the Turbo Pascal graphics, sound and control extensions I created for it. One of the added functionality is the ability to load a bitmap image and overlay it with graphic and text content. Perfect for a visual novel :) On a side note, Turbo Pascal is a very user-fr...

Could this be set to advance with a button push instead of automatically? :?: It should be very trivial to add that feature. Replace the following code snippet Delay(2000); if KeyPressed then begin {Restore VDP settings} inline($CD/$66/$DA); close(ImgLib); halt; end; with repeat until KeyPressed; a...

I tested the images on a real system, and they work fine although there is still a little shift in the second image which might be related to a conversion issue. I use Adamed because it is so much easier to work with than the dreadful Ed :) As of the Image manager, I think it's a bug in that program...

So I putzed around with this and it looks like you did not use the Adamed text editor (http://smartbasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7) to create the IMAGE.LIB file. The Slideshow program requires the proprietary file structure of Adamed for IMAGE.LIB in order to load the images properly. When I d...

OK I'll test it out tonight on real hardware and get back to you.
I never tried the program under emulation, so there might possibly be an issue there.

I have thought long and hard about splurging for a real drive, but frankly since I already have 2 VDD's I see almost no benefit to it from a usage standpoint. That $150++ asking price could be put to much better use towards my numerous other hobbies... That said, I will not deny that I still secrete...

It's not possible to load from cart straight into main memory without the need for expansion RAM?
That's what we do on the TI 99/4A...

Unfortunately I have not been able to find one although I seem to recall there was some documentation on the disk. I could be misremembering that though. There was one disk indeed. Here it is. Thanks for the pointers. It looks like it has a nice set of features. Note: The initial manual I uploaded ...

Thanks! Is there a manual out there for it?
