In Topic: Oh no! All my work gone! Help...
Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:22 PM
SOLVED!
Remember how I always say, "Never underestimate Operator Error?"
Apparently, my files were saving into Atari_OLD folder that I created when I started over. Yay!
They aren't gone after all! Alas, my program really stinks - but I can work on it...
:wq!

Thanks, Jeff. I will look again when I get home.
It was very strange, KNOWING that I had saved several times, then not finding the file. But computers acting strangely doesn't surprise me any more. I gave up that illusion a long time ago.
I guess I was hoping that someone would say, "Oh, yeah. You just need to go to the C:\Temp\Whatever directory and Show-Hidden-Files, then look for the file that starts with 'vbb'..." or something. Either way, I'll survive.
I remember, many years ago, a computer professor saying to us, "There are two kinds of computer users: Those who have lost data and those who will lose data."

Post Scriptum:
I used the Game Wizard to begin my game and kept working on it last night. I need to put some more work into it today, though I had church earlier and a couple other things later this evening. If it turns out to be any good, I'll share it here. Otherwise, at least, I know that I did, indeed, create an Atari game this weekend! Many thanks to y'all here at Atari Age.
A pair of screenshots, just for fun...
