@RST#08,

Great minds think alike!

@777,

Take a look at the first few chapters of this excellent book. Whilst it's title indicates it advanced, it's not really (especially in the first few chapters):

I'm learning all sorts of acronyms from @Cheez26!

Dozens of Miner Willy spinoff games and derivative works have been made while there was no copyright problem. There is an interesting discussion here Lee about such games. I tend to stay on the 'stay safe' side of the fence. https://forum.gamemaker.io/index.php?threads/manic-miner-jet-set-willy-int...

They're still available on WoS and WoS Classic. Yes, both those sites use an old version of ZXDB which is pre these changes being made. I've had a number of attempts at trying to convince Steve that having his titles available on a managed site with his blessing, is better than them being only avai...

I can use the forum, and there are posts there from today. Peter

We will look at it @Lee Bee.

It all depends on how different they are to the original @Lee Bee. Each title is checked to see if it deserves a new entry.

Hi,

If you want any changes made to ZXDB (the database that powers SC and other sites), please use the ZXDB Fixes sub-forum otherwise they are likely to be missed.

You could put a summary there, and link back to here if it's easier.

Magicland Dizzy Classic+ Edition Thanks Lee, This would probably count as a mod, rather than a new title. We also can't provide downloads to most Codemasters titles or mods. I will ask pavero as to how he wants to deal with it. Just to let you know that you can upload new titles and modifications v...

@ParadigmShifter,

I've sent Lee an email. He doesn't tend to reply to my emails, but I'm sure he will fix the issue for you when he sees the message.

@zx81

It's excellent news that you have returned to the project. I'm sure @Pegaz will be pleased too.

The latest ZXDB update has been applied.

Welcome Cheez26 , Nice to have you here. For the benefit of people on mobile phone with small screens, could I ask that when quoting that you only quote the salient points. Just makes it easier for us oldies and reduces the amount of scrolling. I look forward to your contributions! It's nice that th...

Very useful tip @1024MAK.

Very nice. Reminds me of when I used to read Grapevine on the Amiga.

I think I've posted this guide to SAM BASIC previously. I found it very useful:

I've played with this in the past equinox . It's currently set at 15% which seems to give a good balance. When the forum was small, search always gave great results, but as the number of threads grow, obviously you get wider results. I have just recreated the index (I tend to do this once or twice a...

equinox , If you can find solutions within the phpBB documentation I would welcome your contributions. I just tried another popular phpBB based forum and they have a minimum of four characters so consider yourself lucky :dance :dance :dance :dance https://i.ibb.co/V2FxCM3/Screenshot-2024-05-01-1325...

I believe he is talking about the forum.

equinox , Our customer satisfaction department have suggested that it helps if you make clear if it's the forum or the main site that your complaint relates to. They are assuming this is the forum? Regarding two search in 30 seconds (I know this is not your complaint). This only applies if you are ...

The ZXDB and SC admin team have been reviewing the comments in this thread. As a result we have decided the following actions: * Block the download of AY files for any title released after 2000 * Block the download of some additional material (manuals, inlays, media scans, RZX recordings) for any &q...
