Is Un Dos Azul available?

Hi, I came around Un Dos Azul by J.B.G.V. from 2014 and I seem to be unable to find any download link (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/30174/ZX-Spectrum/Un_Dos_Azul). There is walkthrough from TZX archive. I ask because games from J.B.G.V. are amongst my favourite. Is this game out in the wild...

Re: What tooling to use to start zx spectrum game programming?

I won't go into details about writing the code (I use VIM as editor, AS as cross-compiler and FUSE for testing, everything chained together using make file), but for the music I can recommend Arkos Tracker 2 http://www.julien-nevo.com/arkostracker/ which run on PC, is multi platform and support dire...

Re: Image editors

I still use The Artist II and I am slowly switching to Multipaint http://multipaint.kameli.net/. On the other hand, I am far from being a graphics artist or something.

Re: Fusion Gaming Magazines

4 quid for a printed colour mag seems a rather low price, since I suppose they do not ship big volumes. How is this possible? ...hmm, I ran some quick'n dirty quotes and indeed it seems it's quite feasible, even at low volumes such as 50-100. Nice. If I had some spare time I'd start my own mag too....

Re: Fusion Gaming Magazines

I am actually buying those magazines from the beginning (awaiting issue 11 by post now) and even if I am not really playing games much, I somehow enjoy reading all the articles. The way it's written is really good and overall feeling is great. Chris is doing a nice job here and I can only recommend ...

Re: SAM Coupé Sprites

Hi,

no, Sam Coupé have no hardware sprites. The only hardware things you can use are line interrupts and palette change, that's all. On the other hand, BASIC is pretty clever and allow you to use a blitter and so on, but behind the scenes it is all software.

Re: ZXDB Update Thread

Hi, I am not sure where to post this so I am trying here, feel free to move this into better section (if any exist). Terrapins should go to category Arcade Game: Maze instead of Arcade game: Platform https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=30430 The same goes for Sorceress 2: The Mys...

Book search

Hi, I'd like to ask you to consider a search option for books. Currently, if I search for a books (ie) about graphics, I have to go through all software too. There is no option to search just books. Is it possible to add this? I am not asking for full content search, only the title and author (publi...
