According to Gericom (who isn't on here yet)

The AD bus is the gba rom bus.
[it stands for] Address and Data
I happened to know this because the word AD bus was also used in is-nitro related stuff to refer to the gba bus and memory mapped there for debug purposes
But I think it's mentioned in some other places as well

The old forums broke due to a PHP version upgrade. For a while they were basically read-only, then at some point last year they died for good.

We were in contact with one of the admins and nudged them to fix it several times, also offering to help if possible, but they assured us it's something only they can do. They are just very busy and haven't found the time to do it yet, and after 2+ years we got tired of waiting 😅︎

Hey welcome! There's a plugin which adds likes, unfortunately it's very old and won't work with the current version of the forum.

I'm personally not too fussed about this feature (too many metrics in our lives these days!), but ofc I do use it on sites where it's available, so I see how it can be good & useful. I may try fixing the plugin some day if enough people want it.

Heck yeah! Pledged, wishing you the best of luck!

This is looking superb! I didn't know much about this game but the blend of mechanics (turn based combat + sidescroller) stands out to me as something pretty unique & refreshing, I can see why you wanted to port it!
Keep up the great work! ^^

Hey all, we had some spam accounts joining recently, so I've added a simple captcha quiz to the registration form.

Hopefully this solves the problem! If not, we may have to explore other solutions.

When it says "duplicate identifier" is that part of a larger error message? Does it tell you which file and which line of code the error is on?

[edit] or did you already solve it?

I'm not familiar with DragonBasic but "duplicate identifier" likely means you tried to make two variables with the same name, or something similar.
In case that doesn't help you narrow down the problem, could you post some code and the full error message?

Also, if you're looking for something newer and better-supported than DragonBasic yet still relatively easy to code in, maybe BPCore would be good for you?

A dev called Archivist is running a beginner-friendly C programming course, it's not free (costs about $33) but I figured I'd share it here in case it's helpful to anyone.

You can reach them on Mastodon: https://social.linux.pizza/@Archivist/110072825143848419
(thanks @kva64 for sharing!)

Looks like the Markdown renderer used by the forum is Mistune which supports custom plugins, though nobody has written a video embed plugin for it yet, so we'll have to make our own I guess.
