Spectrum Computing

just curious. were there any christian games for the c64 or zx spectrum in the 80's or 90's and if so, what companies. i don't mean to get into a debate (i would like to avoid that if possible) but want an honest answer. something to show my mother (she fell in love with the games the moment she saw...

that explains it

i appreciate it..but i am dead tired. me and my mother just came from jackson and i bought a linux PC for 27 dollars. so, excuse my disinterest for now...please

of course i wasn't there. i was born in '93. so yes, i was not there at the dawn of micro computers. what a silly response No, my response wasn't silly. And how on Earth could I know when you were born before I asked? As you didn't understand " why the zx81 is so slow " or " why sell...

of course i wasn't there. i was born in '93. my first PC was a windows 95 computer that my grandmother (rest her soul) had when i was younger. from there, i got to see the 98, vista, 7 and now 10. so yes, i was not there at the dawn of micro computers. what a silly response

that;s why i respect europe in some ways, innovation. the PAL games are actually somewhat impressive. less so for the nes and later (of which, we apologize, the developers were unnaturally stupid in this regard) Just to clarify something, were the "unnaturally stupid" developers you refer...

1K can be enough for marvellous things like the Artic's 1K ZX Chess . I've always been impressed by this game. According to the link, " It was the smallest implementation of chess on any computer until its record was broken in January 2015 by the PC-compatible BootChess" so you're telling...

The ZX81 is actually faster than a ZX Spectrum for some operations.

how so?

(a) RAM was expensive
(b) Sir Clive was cheap

what could you possibly do with 1k of ram? i understand sir clive's reasoning but that doesn't excuse starving it of memory.

the TS1000 had only 1k of ram, up to 16k maximum and i can't figure out why they would sell such a misleading product for 100 dollars. "Now the power is within your reach" went the advertisements. but that "Power" was only available with the expansion. you would've had a better c...

i'd have an easier time writing a better basic for the commodore vic 20 to be honest. i;ll save the porting jobs for when i have more experience

i sent it

one last thing. i sent a few sna. files to the admin and he has been having trouble opening them. is there a way to convert sna. files to a form that he can open? i send them and he said that it just wouldn't open. i tried Zip files, i tried tzx, no result. any ideas?

i meant for Gossip.

just one question: how would i change 6502 to z80 code? and vice versa?

also, i can't find the disassembly

what program did Veronika Megler use to the the parser. also, how were the graphics created? Assembly? each area takes a bit to load but i'm curious nonetheless. hoping to make a version for the atari 800 some day (the lack of an IF- Then command notwithstanding)

there is a color clash when the brothers meld together the jumps can barely clear the enemies needs a shield powerup to block enemies maybe some music otherwise, it's good and a double jump feature, the left most lever is too high edit: i discovered a glitch you can jump through the wall and the end...

the problem is the speed of emulators. the zx81 for instance, is where copy paste is appealing

is there a way to copy and paste?

in fuse

can you post an example? my knowledge of BASIC is very limited (i teach atari BASIC at my day program, so could you post an atari version as well?)

thanks in advance

how would i map the pieces to the board? i want the player to use WASD or JKLI to move.

just use the cursor keys to pick a piece and use either of the keys to move

so, i'm looking through one of the zx spectrum manuals (graciously given by one of the admins) and was wondering how to draw a chess board, as far as plotting and drawing. i have the rest done from the baseline program: 30 READ a: POKE USR p$+f,a 40 NEXT f 50 NEXT n 100 REM bishop 110 DATA “b”,0,d, ...

what about fuse?

thanks
