Game for the FIGnition - Syd Snail NOW WITH SOUND!!!

Hi, I have just written a new game.

You control Syd, he is a snail.
Using Space you can time his jump to capture a dot on the screen that in turn opens a door for him to get the Cash!

if you miss, potty mouthed Syd will not get in the building and the game ends!

Please please please add sound FX and enhance this any way you like, any questions or feedback is appreciated.

Commands.

to begin type ' start '

to restart, ' start ' also!

space to jump, space to start a new screen afted getting cash.

tip. Make a loader for all the blocks, I use block 99 so I type ' 99 load'




here is the listing, hex files are on

FIGnition Sound!

Thanks to the Fignition Group community Tony Draper - with help from Andrew, Ian and Brian the DIY 8 bit has sound!


I used the Audio Hack Provided by the Fignition creator- Julian Skidmore as I wanted to use my fignition that I have on the home made keyboard.

The circuit is very simple but I made one change from the design as I had all the component except a phono socket so I soldered a phono lead straight on to the board and secured it with a cable tie!

I also left the board separate so when I open up the case it can dangle free, but tied the cable to the chassis to avoid the cable being tugged out.

who will add a SID chip to this ;)

LEGO Vigenère cipher machine.

I have just completed a machine to encode and decode messages that use the Vigenère cipher.

It consists of a wheel with the the alphabet printed on a paper circle, I used a cd label. This is then hitched to some cotton that moves a long lego block up and down a rail.

The Rail and the block have the alphabet printed on them too, when you select the letter in the Cipher you then select the letter that appears in your coded message, the little slider then reveals the decrypted letter.

You simply repeat the steps until you have your message.

To encrypt a message all you have to do is reverse the last two steps in the procedure, so you slide the pointer over the letter of the alphabet you want to encode and the other half will point to the encrypted letter.

here is a Video of it working with some inappropriately dramatic music.

thanks for reading.
