Re: Scuttlebutt

Karl - you will have to forgive me; but as I have no shame, I will ask what others probably though... :lol: Would you think of releasing the source code? There is a lot of technical skill that went into getting such a program to work in the way that it does. 8-) It reminds me of looking at an icebe...

Re: Scuttlebutt

...Would be interesting to know how long it took you to learn to program to this level (assuming it was from scratch, but maybe it wasn't?)... Well, I started learning Spectrum programming five weeks ago, but I've been building computer games for other platforms as a hobby for almost 35 years. That...

Re: Scuttlebutt

There was an incorrect pitch value for the note B in the AY-3-8192 documentation, which messed up my frequency tables. 1892 should have been 1812. http://w...

Re: Scuttlebutt

Hah, yes it was! Apologies. In that case, it looks like the only bug is that the toilet roll orientation seems to be incorrect - it should be hanging on the outside...

Re: Scuttlebutt

This looks great and smooth animation on the main character! Quite addictive but simple and it's nice to have something with a sense of humour. I'm think there's a bug when trying to catch at the table where the larger picture is in that the poo has continued right through me...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...

Scuttlebutt

I built this Spectrum game just for the sake of having built at least one Spectrum game in my life. Don't judge! http://www.javaonthebrain.com/spectrum/scuttlebutt/sb_intro.png It's nominally for the Spectrum 48K, but the game requires an AY chip for sound, so you may have to set the emulator to 128...
