RE: Vector programming

It looks like it's just me working on the current vector game project
(Anders said he might help on the next one)
(note - to see what we've been up to for the last few months, look at my
next post)

I'm writting a space wars for space duel hardware.
It's come a long ways, but I still have a ways to go (I had to re-write some
routines because MAME was emulating too much)
Once I get it a little bit further along, I'll post the ROMs so everybody
can take a look at it in MAME.

Im in the process of writing a Software Development Kit for Atari Vector
Hardware. Im
about 50% done, I have to finish up the 6808 version first but the whole
thing is pretty
modular.
Basically it will do these things.....

* Allow you to DASM game ROM's. It will automatically throw in lots of
hardware based
comments. This dump is not in assembler friendly format, more of a printable
format.
The DASM is a two pass process and it seems to be pretty good at getting all
the code and
data areas.
*You can convert the above DASM into TASM(table assembler) format.
*Once in the TASM format you can edit the source, recompile and it will
automatically
        open MAME(using special drivers) with the ROM's you just compiled
for debugging.
* OR, you can just start with a blank page, select a hardware platform and
write asm from
there.

Is anyone else doing this? Im using Borland C++ Builder 3.0 in Win95. I know
Jeff H. was
working on something with Anders... what is it guys!??
