Congrats on the game release!
Any chance of a credit for my Truffle Shuffle font? https://damieng.com/typography/zx-origi ... e-shuffle/

Re: More 8x8 pixel fonts for your games
All my fonts are free (of charge). Everything on the ZX Origins page I consider original or original enough to put in a game but I can't offer legal protection if somebody was to take offense given I don't charge. Anything on the advent of font stuff that isn't my own creation is potentially at risk...

More 8x8 pixel fonts for your games
I'm once again doing an 8x8 bitmap font advent calendar this year over at Mastodon . It will alternate days between a new 8x8 bitmap creation of my own with a licence to use in your games for free and the other days will include a converted/ripped font from a game/system of old to which I can't gran...

Garner Designs Desktop +3
Could have sworn I posted this before but can't find the thread and it's still MIA in the database.

Kuatris source
Hi can somebody take down the "source" file from https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/39092/ZX-Spectrum/Kuatris as it's not the source to the game at all - it's just my DistantTears bitmap font that was used with no attribution and not the game source after all. (I don't mind my fonts bei...

Re: Manic Person
Short explanation why: no spare space. That is the best reason and not that uncommon! Some games back in the day had to make the same call. I assume this is why Yie Ar Kung Fu had the regular ROM font on the 48K and a rather spiffy brush-style font on the 128K version. Feel free to use any in your ...

Re: Manic Person
Game looks great - I have to admit a nice font would polish it off. I tried your screenshot with a bunch of my ZX Origins fonts and nothing quite felt Manic enough so I modified one of my fonts in two different ways to see what it would look like. Let me know if you like them and I'll send you the 7...

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
Here's the experimental version of the Markdown All-In-One plugin I'm using from the author https://github.com/yzhang-gh/vscode-mar ... ssues/1232
If you don't want to install that just make a PR against the .md markdown file and I'll convert to HTML as part of the merge.
Thanks!

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
A PR would be cool. You have to install a specific markdown extension in VS Code and then "Print" the markdown to HTML then remove two small fragments relating to stuff it doesn't use. I'll put the process in the readme. As for +2 manual... Is there any point? Its just a subset right? I do...

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
I think at all places in the +3 manual where it uses Roman numeral lists the text does not indent on subsequent lines so I think this change would actually take us away from the +3 manual design?

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
We could put the errata on this wiki page for now so it's with the manual until we can integrate it properly.

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
Cool, thanks for the diagram - now added!
I'll try and figure out what's going on with the keyboard diagrams over the weekend - got so much other stuff on right now.
Errata we should probably compile into a separate document and then later integrate with some sort of annotation mode.

I've thought about adding some annotations that can be toggled on/off (as well as some theme options etc).

Music scale diagram is now in! (I did a tiny tweak to font sizes/weight but that's it)

Thanks again.

Yeah there is something off about the timings - Javascript animation on a canvas isn't my forte but I'll give it another bash.

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
They're the closest free fonts I could use - I don't fancy paying $100+ for commercial web licences for Rockwell, OCR-B and Helvetica.

After many many years with no updates I've put out a new build of my Disk Image Manager for checking, searching and otherwise tinkering with Spectrum and Amstrad compatible DSK files. Most of the features are around usability - dragging-files, reopen menu, UI tweaks, but also some useful features li...

If anyone else finds themselves wanting to mount a Amstrad/Hitachi 3" drive in a 5.25" bay I have two 3D printable models you can use. The first is a tray that lines up with the screw holes for both letting you sit it snug - print this any colour you want. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing...

If anyone does end up finding DB1, DB2 or other MIA disk titles the best bet is to get them to somebody with a Kryoflux, Greaseweazle or FluxEngine so we can do a low-level flux image that will preserve all the copy protection.
