Spectrum Computing

I'd like to continue and hopefully finish the 4 games I started last year. Haven't really touched them at all this year. Single screen shooter, a bullet hell-ish scroller, an isometric adventure, and a vertical scrolling reboot of a classic. Failing that, i'll just trawl ebay for bargains

Great as usual, thanks!
I'm tempted to make Toobin a reality

I'm sure i read somewhere that the tower is a width x 16 block, preshifted 8 times. So basically a 2 brick high, 8 frame animation, blitted quickly down the screen. With as already said the x map wrapped and platform blocks written over for outer edge in.

Which OS is it? Win 11? and which version of SevenuP?
I'll try on my other laptop in the morning to see if i can replicate it.

45, lowered a bit, but not much

I should have used your graphics for my version.

I was looking at that code and wondering WTF, I didn't recognise it at all!!
I tracked it down from the cpl command and it is from the Music Box Player Engine. It was a straight 'save as asm' from the program Beepola.
It may help, or not.

tbh, i've no idea how to use a debugger properly. I fudge it with CSpect and checking on regs and memory locations, or setting areas on screen for actions or branches. If you can provide a possible memory location of the code that is trying to write, i can look that up.

Really glad you liked them! I've had a lot of time out lately, but trying to get motivated again and finish the 2 projects. I've just looked quickly at the code and for 8bitTris its all in RAM. There is no lookup for screen addresses. There is a counter for kind of random counter seed in the main in...

Hiya, i wrote 8bitTris, and i have no idea!!
The title loop is just badly playing music with its stock player. Theres definately no special secrets in my code. I just try to work around redraws to hide tearing.

Playing through this lot, I'm never going to get time for any coding!

Excellent, that's my day sorted

Maybe i'll move to Commodore stuff.

[mention]Bubu[/mention] Number 8 is listed as: Anteater/Anteater ZX. His comparison earlier in the year had them basically tied.

Super stoked for number 8 slot (shared), but gutted. It was my go-to blue light fix for mid life, mid night intermissions.

Just realised i'm on 49 posts, so need to see if I can be promoted from a Drutt

So many classics being tossed aside before Christmas. It's BrusselSproutGate all over again. However, so looking forward to what has actually made the top spots. We still haven't seen Nemesis or Final Fight in the list, so theres still time

I'm loving it though, there are so many games I hadn't played. If I get free time over Crimbo I'll be catching up with a few. (Time I should be spending on finishing my shoot em up)

I don't even have the words............. erm..... what day is it?

I've maybe got 3 or 4 i can swap out depending on what lurks in Stu's mind. Maybe have one last go at 15??
I'm really intrigued now! And if i can get over my netflix addiction i'll do some conversions of the lower ranks for the next list in a few more decades.

Shocked!! But admit I haven't played the Spectrum version for years so maybe rose tinted. The music (original) haunts my dreams along with Rainbow Islands

OK, a re-jig

I'm going to try and come up with a list in a bit, but..... slightly off topic, the emulated pacman has the ghosts changing direction for no reason. Is that in the original? as the algos that i was looking at said they weren't supposed to?

Just thought i'd try, and when i clicked the globe (top right) and selected ZX Spectrum Next - Issue 2 A huge blue banner across the page says, 'You backed this project' with, Mark as received, View pledge, and View survey. 'View survey' opens a pop up with my address and an edit option under it. Th...
