KRIEG IM WELTRAUM - C64
*************************************

Krieg im Weltraum is a new game for the Commodore 64, made by DATA-LAND. The game is inspired by the game Cosmic Conflict! for the Odyssey 2 and Videopac+. The game is a 3D shoot'em up, with a 120 degrees panoramic view, 2 weapons systems, and extra-terrestrial artificial intelligence.

SPINDLE FOR THE C64 RELEASED
*************************************

www.linusakesson.net/software/spindle/index.php

INTRODUCTION

Spindle is an integrated linking, loading and crunching solution for C64 trackmos. By hiding the details of the storage model, it allows the demo coder to focus on effects, transitions and flow.

Independently developed demo parts can be chained together easily, in any order, facilitating exploration of the design space in order to arrive at a rough cut. Spindle then assists the coder by suggesting where and how filler parts could be crafted to improve the loading process. A visualisation of
block demand and memory usage over time provides further optimisation hints.

Spindle is equipped with a cutting-edge IRQ loader featuring scattered
loading, state-of-the art serial transfer routines and GCR decoding on the
fly. The compression scheme is optimised for extremely fast scattered decrunching at the cost of sub-optimal compression ratio. As measured on a private build of my demo, Shards of Fancy, the average compression ratio is 45%, not counting internal fragmentation.

Currently, only single-side trackmos are supported. The data is laid out to minimise seek times: The first demo part is located near the middle of the disk, and the following parts are stored in order from outer to inner tracks. Directory art can be supplied in the form of a text file. While Spindle uses its own D64-compatible storage format, it respects and coexists with the
native commodore disk structure, so demo disks can be adorned with noters and other auxiliary files using standard tools like c1541.


*************************************
KRILL'S LOADER, REPOSITORY
VERSION 146
*************************************

BUILDING BINARIES INSTEAD OF CA65 OBJECT ARCHIVE:

In loader/src, enter "make prg INSTALL=1234 RESIDENT=5678 ZP=90" with
suitable hexadecimal addresses without suffixes. This builds install.prg, loader.prg, and loadersymbols.inc, plus a zip file containing these files. Incbin the binary files and include loadersymbols.inc in source files to use loader labels, e.g. "jsr loadraw".

DISABLING WATCHDOG WHEN LETTING THE LOADER STARVE:

Not giving the loader enough free cycles will make the watchdog reset the drive. Disable the watchdog by setting DISABLE_WATCHDOG to 1 in loader/include/config.inc.

DETECTING DISK (SIDE) CHANGES:

When loading via directory, load a file that has a unique name and is present only on the expected disk side. Cycle until no 'file not found' errors occur.

When loading via track and sector, load a 1-byte ID file that is present on
the same block on all disk sides. Cycle until loaded block ID matches expected ID.

DOYNAMITE 1.0 RELEASED
*************************************

csdb.dk/getinternalfile.php/116973/doynamite 1.0.zip

WHAT IT IS

Yet another Lempel-Ziv cruncher for the 6502.

Specifically, it is a traditional bit-packed LZ coder which has been optimized for decrunching speed at the expense of code size. It achieves decent compression ratios and high throughput by nearly keeping up with a 1541 loader.

WHAT IT ISN'T

* Tiny. The decruncher is nearly a page long.

* It will not (yet) generate self-extracting executables.

* It is inefficient at in-place decompression. The worst-case safety-zone is
larger than a page due to literals copied in reverse.

* It is purely a cross-development tool. There is no native C64 cruncher.h

* The decruncher relies on self-modifying code and will not run from ROM
(NES cartridges, etc).

* It is unsuitable for very slow (datasette) or very fast (cartridge) loaders.
Try Exomizer or LZWVL.

CREDITS

This project is a fork off of HCL's excellent ByteBoozer, from which the basic encoding has been inherited. Note: Any gains in compression ratio over BB are solely due to improved parsing and tweaked offset lengths.

Bitbreaker has made several important contributions to the project; including some critical bug fixes to the project, the non-streaming version of the decruncher as well as other features I have yet to incorporate.
