Hungry Dots
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 5:25 pm
So I just got done with a bit of code and tested it on a virtual machine and it worked perfectly. However once I moved it to a floppy and tried it on real hardware the thing epically failed.
Failure points:
-The screen isnt cleared by my rudimentry \nx10 method [fixed]
-The starting prompt isnt outputted [fixed]
-It takes two presses of enter (after the video mode is changed) for the dot to be drawn and when it is, it is drawn in odd colors (its supposed to be one white pixel at 0,0) [fixed]
A video mode change fixed the first two and the last one was a slight oversight in the coding on my part.
