Cottonwood BBS
I've been hard at work on adding
"goodies" to my BBS, which is now
running on Color 64 software. I have
added multi-upload capability, 40/80
column selection for message entry, a
"one-liner" feature, and best of all,
some online games! I've added
Horserace (a "classic" Color 64 game),
Master's Empire (a very good upgrade
to the classic Empire game), and Stock
Market (another great game). Master's
Empire and Stock Market are both
multi-player games. Everyone gets to
take turns while they're signed onto
the BBS, and over a period of weeks,
the game progresses until one person
reaches the pre-set goal and is
proclaimed the winner. I'll be on the
lookout for more Color 64 mods to
improve my setup... I'm always looking
to improve... :-) Check out what's new
on Cottonwood BBS today by calling
(951) 242-3593.
Take care... -Andrew

COMMODORE FREE Programming section
I am pleased to announce that if all
goes to plan! We should have a
programming section in the magazine, I
have asked the writer to produce an
Introduction to programming. So what's
new with that there are loads of
these, Yes dear reader and if you are
a programming virgin you will realise
they all start slow then seem to
gather pace till it's a rush to the
end and somewhere mid section you seem
lost! The Commodore Free programming
guide will walk the user through the
basics of Coding a game in BASIC using
Commodore graphics then move to using
sprites, and sounds, the adding music
then finally to producing the whole
game in machine code. I will announce
more after I have the full ok from the
writer taking up the challenge. Many
readers have requested that there be a
programming section and I hope this
fills the gap, If you have any
programming experience or advice
please share it with other readers.
Again I would like anyone whatever
background to submit an article on
something Commodore related, Thanks to
all readers who contributed to this
issue
