My vector graphics MONOPOLY game in BASIC for Tektronix 4050 computers

I finally finished my vector graphics MONOPOLY game that I started in 1979 on a Tektronix 4051 computer!
This BASIC program runs on any Tektronix 4051, 4052 or 4054 vector graphics microcomputer with 32KB RAM and Fast Graphics/R12 Option ROM!
This video shows my Tektronix 4054A with 19-inch Color Dynamics storage tube running MONOPOLY - using a Wii Classic Pro gamepad for four function keys and my 4050 GPIB Flash Drive to access the 79 files for this game!
My MONOPOLY game Features:
- Fast Vector Graphics for displaying the game board, deeds, cards and status
- Player token movement "clicks" and police siren Go To Jail sound effects
NOTE: we have a web-browser based emulator Tek 405x that I use heavily for developing programs like MONOPOLY.
You can download and use this emulator to run my MONOPOLY game - or most of my other Flash Drive directories of 4050 BASIC programs. Follow my instructions in this post: forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/tek-405x-web-browser-emulator.62548/post-1343836 with updated links to the 405x emulator and my Flash Drive zip file with Monopoly here: forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/tek-405x-web-browser-emulator.62548/post-1357155

FIVE COLORS on Tektronix 4054A

มุมมอง 2845 หลายเดือนก่อน

This video demonstrates how my Tektronix 4054A with Option 31 Color Dynamic Graphics storage CRT can display five different colors at the same time! My 4054A began displaying a bright orange spot when the display dimmed due to inactivity in December. I was concerned about it burning the phosphor, so I only turned it on while trying to debug the issue. One resistor in the High Voltage Power Supp...

This video was taken on my Tektronix 4054A computer from 1982 with the same viewer program as I used on my 4052 PLOT10 video, but I removed a couple of images, and added a couple of new PLOT10 images.

Tektronix 4010/4012/4014 Vector Graphics Terminals were introduced in 1972/1973/1974 respectively designed to provide monochrome graphics for mainframe and minicomputers. Tektronix 4051/4052/4054 Vector Graphics Computers were introduced in 1975/1979/1979 respectively with BASIC language. This video displays a dozen demo vector graphics images on my Tektronix 4052 computer converted from PLOT10...

Battlestar Galactica - Cylon Attack Game

มุมมอง 693ปีที่แล้ว

I just put the finishing touches on my original Cylon Attack game! I loved the original Battlestar Galactica TV series in the late 1970's. Tektronix furnished the computers used on the Galactica bridge - and designed the vector graphics images - which I used to develop my Cylon Attack game. I wrote this game in Tektronix 4050 BASIC. The Cylon and HIT/MISS scores are displayed by an optional gra...

Cylon Attack - Part 4

มุมมอง 316ปีที่แล้ว

Lots of progress on my work-in-progress Battlestar Galactica "Cylon Attack" game. I eliminated the flicker on the Cylon from my part 3 video. Root cause was the Tektronix 4050 BASIC command to get the Tektronix joystick position digitized uses the display X and Y DACs (digital to analog converter) which keeps the Option 30 coprocessor from displaying the Cylon. So I designed a new joystick inte...

This is a continuation of my work in progress Cylon Attack game for the Tektronix 4054A vector graphics computer with Option 30 Dynamic Graphics GPU card. I modified my Tektronix 4952 joystick by bypassing the electronics inside the joystick and directly connecting the potentiometers to the 4054A joystick connector. This allows 'normal' PC joystick operation with fast motion. In addition, I cre...

I watched the original Battlestar Galactica TV show when it came out in 1978. I was fascinated by the vector graphics and found out later these graphics were produced on Tektronix vector graphics computers including the Tektronix 4051. I am working on a game for my Tektronix 4054A computer which has an Option 30 Dynamic Graphics coprocessor - this could be called a vector GPU! This video demons...

มุมมอง 195ปีที่แล้ว

This is my full-size remote controlled 3D-printed BB-8! I took it to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 and had it on exhibit in the huge fan-built droid room (over 100 droids) - and drove it outside that room to entertain the crowd. But my BB-8 developed a slight problem and began moving in a circle. I finally fixed several issues today and got my BB-8 working again!

I have always been interested in displaying photos on my Tektronix 4054A vector graphics computer - introduced in 1979, but this computer had no graphics memory and instead used a storage CRT display that would persist drawn vectors or dots until the screen was erased. I created the first program I am aware of to display photos on these vector graphics computers using dithered dots - as is used...
