Platformation game source - can you help?

[paul_nicholls]

Hi all,
I posted back in 2012 in a game programming challenge on this site with a game I did
https://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/showthread.php?13314-2nd-PGD-Challenge-quot-Platformation-quot/page3

I was wondering if anyone PGD veterans here might have downloaded the source code files from that thread of my game "platformation"?

I have the binary file still, but I don't have the source on my dropbox anymore or my hard drives, and I can't download from the ftp site anymore :(

I know it's a longshot, but worth a try :D
cheers,
Paul

Nevermind, it appears after a long exhaustive search, I've found the code...yay!! :)

I wanted to use some of it as ideas in a commodore 64 game I'm working on...

cheers,
Paul

Are you sure you are having problems with a hard-drive? You might simply have problems with external enclosure.

Some ime ago I thought that one of my external hard-drive is dying so I wen't and buy a new hard-drive in order to make a backup of old one. Then in order to make a backup as fast as possible I plugged both hard-drives directly into my computer and realized that all of the problems have gone away. So I went and plug my new hard-drive into the external enclosure and see the same problems happening. In the end it turned out that my IDE interface of my external enclosure (it has both IDE and SATA interfaces) is dying for some reason. And sometimes later it finally died completely. I'm still using that old hard-drive today in my old PC tower and it still works without any problems.

So I recommend you try plugging your hard-drive directly to your computer first in order to verify that the problem is indeed with the hard-drive so you won't be spending lots of money for replacing a perfectly good piece of hardware as I did.

I had exactly the same problem once with the external box, it is better to check if the probes do not come from there.

Yep, it was the external enclosure. A friend of mine who has more hardware abilities did unmount the thing and plug the HDD on a computer and it worked. :)
