 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Version 1.02 is now uploaded which fixes a bug when using the keyboard controls to hit a Donut at close range. Thanks Geoff. Nick |

At the command prompt, you can use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through previous command lines. This is VERY handy when you want to run the same commands over again. The problem your program has is it uses keydown to monitor the keys presses and the arrow keys end up sitting in the keyboard buffer. When your program exits, the command prompt reads the keyboard buffer and acts on the key strokes still present. One solution would be for your program to read (and discard) the keyboard buffer before exiting. Having the command history and the ability to scroll back through it is very handy so I would not like that to be flushed automatically. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

I agree. I am suggesting the possibility of an extra command to flush the buffer, basically do what the example code line does as Geoff suggested. I agree that the command history is a needed feature... but not so much when actually running the code. There is a new version 1.02 of Donut Dilemma with a few fixes already available on my site so download the latest version. I feel that this version is now bug free... at least till the next bug found. 
As for a colourized MaxMan... I'd rather do a rewrite utilizing the extra commands available in 4.3, namely Sprites and Playmod. At the moment, I have a few other non-Maximite projects I need to complete. Weather I come back to it may depend on the success of the Donationware incentive to do so I'm afraid. Like most of us, I have bills to pay too.

Don't talk to me about bills. 
I just had to pay off the Mafia(Inland Revenue) to the sum of a couple of grand - what a nice Christmas pressie to get.(billed in Dec, had to pay in Jan 2013). Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Yes. A fan made modernized version which was never completed. The goal was to release it as a commercial product but I'm not sure why it was stopped. I must contact the producers and see if they want to make an IOS or Android version. Nick |

I'm back online! My new CCM is in, built and running! First thing I did was play my Donut Dilemma game. And here is the new high score for people to beat... 18430! That was completing all 10 levels with 3 lives still available. I think the game is easy, but it helps having a joystick... the correct game input control mechanism. After 10 levels, it plays a finale and then restarts over but it plays at almost double the speed and it gives you less time to complete each level. This is what I've called the "Championship Mode" and the tension is hot! So, let's see anyone beat that!
