Re: Tiling challenge
How about a live attribute version of a portion of the tiles? This portion could also move and sway around 'magnifying' different areas inducing sea sickness?

Re: Little bugs in the database 6
Between The Stars is a ZX81 program, but the screens show flashing green. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/41500/ZX81/Between_the_Stars It was a type in for the ZX81 which was typed in on a Spectrum and "enhanced" :-) The Spectrum TZX is attached to that entry, it also contains typos...

Re: Machine Code: Moving from Attribute scrolling to pixel scrolling
Within selected 8x8 attribute squares are UDGs which get printed to the screen but because its Attribute scrolling as the UDGs get redrawn there is a flicker. As I understand it I can mitigate this flicker if I do pixel scrolling. No, flicker is caused by not being aware of when you are updating so...

Re: Help Uploading Technical Information on Disciple
For some flavour, I had a DISCiPLE, it was a wonderful piece of kit, easing my upgrade path to the SAM Coupé. At the time I was living in NZ and bought it on our 1987 holiday to The Netherlands at Data-Skip in Gouda, a 5.25" DSDD disk drive was bought in the USA - at Egghead if I recall correct...

Re: Help Uploading Technical Information on Disciple
Question about this part in the doc: Page out the Speccy ROM and enable the Disciple RAM / ROM when the Z80 accesses certain memory addresses (0x0001 (*), 0x0008, 0x0066, 0x28E) or an NMI is generated (snapshot button) The NMI executes a jump to 0x0066 - so why would it need an additional page out?

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Steve Crow): discussion
The questionable ones still in there are just two: Uridium (28th Oct 1986) and its upgraded version, Uridium Plus. Stephen's name is in there, along with Andrew Braybook, Dominic Robinson, John Cumming and Steve Turner, and I think it's very likely this was just graphics, but I'd like to be sure. I...

Re: Showcasing my graphics
Uh-oh, all of Grongy's images are now broken links for me :( There is something very odd going on with zxart.ee. My PC is now fine again (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), but iPhone and iPad on the same local network are not showing most of the images (Safari, Chrome, Edge). Of the current frontpage, the fi...

Re: Additional credit for Flying Shark
Thanks! I'm going to try and create a proper ZX Spectrum list based on that page and other sources I can find, I hate to remove information from the database, you never know why authors are assigned to a particular title, might be the case at some point someone got some insight inside the projects....

And the wash out referenced by Mr T on Flying Shark was someone else - my apologies - see another of Steve's blogs.

And imagine my surprise while googling for more info on who was behind Imagitec Design to run into this interview, conducted by none other than Kieren Hawken... what are the odds?!?

Re: Additional credit for Flying Shark
Yeah, was wondering about those two as well. Couldn't find any further info, but only had a quick look... I think you have found Kieren Hawken's brother! Gavin Wade, who has listed being part of a lot of (cancelled) games on his softography is who I think Steve Turner refers to as "the washout...
