I'll give this a try once it is built, seems like a good concept.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD33 → Synapse

I love the old commodore 64 look.
Love the style... Give us a playable version! :D
Not bad, but can be improved.
Got as far as loading the adventure tape, then tried a whole bunch of commands but not worked. Still, I like the concept, there was a great feeling of excitement on loading the adventure tape. The initial interface was a little advanced for me but I'd love to play a bit more of a noob version :)
Wow, very impressed by all the nerdy stuff that's in there. This is way beyond what I know about those great old hardware (which mostly amounts to copying sprites to v-ram ;). Your game looks like the big brother of Uplink :D
I was really excited to play this because I love stuff like this, but it seems to freeze every time i try to start it...
Oh that's a shame flatgub, finding people who might want to play this is going to be hard I think. Are you on Windows? Does the Window appear or does it hang at the console? Maybe try running it from the command prompt and seeing if there any errors? Thanks
Yeah windows.
The window appears for about a second and it suddenly freezes and I get the "Synapse.exe has stopped responding" message. I checked the cmd and There's no errors being logged or anything...
OK thanks, I haven't done much testing on Windows. Which version of Windows do you have out of interest? Thanks for the help
Windows 7 Ultimate!
Maybe i should get the source and compile it myself?
Hitting tab didn't seem to do anything, then the game locked up.
I updated the binaries to hopefully fix the deadlock bugs, I'll try rating some games now and see what the new players thing :D
This is madness, I tell you. Madness! You actually linked the ARM libraries, what dark magic is this?
Your interpretation of the theme is largely interpretive. But I guess tongue-cheekery is to be expected in LD!
Okay on to the game - I stepped through the number guessing game, watching the registers to glean any info on what the number is I should be guessing, they are tricky to decipher, my friend. Golly-gosh-gee-willikers batman.
Okay... I am wiping the brain-ooze off the side of my face now, and am going back in to decipher some more.
Woohoo, really glad someone is enjoying it Wesley! The tapes are C, compiled with the GCC arm toolchain into Armv2 assembler, then linked up with a bit of hand codes assembly, run on a C emulator running as a python extension model with the hardware devices in pure python. It is a fun project :)
I feel like if you want to make a game like this, the debugger really needs to be on point, and this one isn't. The concept is really neat, but for those of us that don't have experience with this type of hacking, the game requires hours of research to learn how to even approach it. A built-in tutorial that shows people how to start would go a long way to making this more approachable. As it stands, it seems more like an emulator than a game, really. I think it's an awesome idea, I just don't have time to read a tech manual and spend the next few days learning what I'm supposed to be doing.
Oh I would love to finish your game, but I really need to relearn all this ^^; Still I'll try to play though!
PS: Is there anyway you could share a manual or instruction set?
PSS: I was able to get the password from guessing game with basic dichotomy xp
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
