SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

Here is the game I wrote as an excercise in pure smart basic- It is a fully functional version of Breakout that uses the joystick. You can select the number of paddles (1 or 2) and the skill leve. The higher the level the smaller the backdrop. It uses some tricks to create and track the bricks on th...

I had a problem with 20+ new users every day - all spam bots from china or russia. Having to delete them every day was a pain. I added questions that new users have to answer to register and it seems that stopped them, no new ones for almost a week!

Therefore, the standard content of VR1 for the ADAM for the bitmap mode is $C0. It took me a w...

If you are looking for a ROM support download the CVE archives I made on AdamWare http://adamware.us and place the disk images on an microSD card. The interface is the same as the image manager and will let you access hundreds of ROMS.

It was never considered to add ROM image support to the ADE. Although, it’s not impossible to add the ability for ROM images.
