Fingerbobs Central

Bang! My PC just died a couple of days ago. I have a few ideas, but I can't be bothered figuring out exactly what's gone wrong right now so I just nipped out and bought a new PC.

Alas, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to remove the drive cage from the old case (I've removed every screw & tried pressing or prising every metal tab & flange I can find). Till I do get the drive out I can't do much ST stuff. I had a backup on an external drive, but it's a few weeks old. Guess I should improve my backup strategy, OTOH, all I need to do here is physically remove the old drive from the case!!!

Update 13/2/2009

Finally found the secret method for releasing the drive cage. Now recovering files. w00t!

I have added my first ever complete screen to the graveyard. See it here.

I have finished fixing up the unreleased Fingerbobs Demo TCC dug out. As soon as it has a name & a few new lines of scrolltext it'll be ready! Coming soon!

You have noticed that I've supplied source code to our screens when I have it. To build from sources yourself all you need is a copy of DevpacST v3 and an ST or emulation thereof. All the sources have been tested with this version of the assembler & work fine, so you should be good to go!

It should probably come as no surprise, but the Fingerbobs do have an entry over on über scene site Pouet.net.

This is the new Fingerbobs site, still under development. Here's the link to the existing "Fingerbobs ST Graveyard":

I have reversed the Naff Demo and added the Source Code.

I have fixed the Naff Demo so it exits to the desktop properly.

I have updated the Quite Big Demo with source code & a freshy assembled executable that runs from and exits to the desktop with no crashee crashee.

I have found my first ever, ever, ever screen on a compilation disk. I'll add it here when I figure out how to extract it. I don't remember releasing it though

I have arranged the prods into what I think is approximately the correct reverse chronological order. I probably made a few mistakes.
