Re: Guess the screen$
Hmmm, some kind of peg solitaire game? It's not "Solitaire" though.

Re: Guess the screen$
Still hard to believe it's not Spy vs Spy. The split-screen concept is reminding me of the previous game, Deactivators.

Re: New Game Creator
Hello Paul, and thanks for the awesome video update! This is looking fantastic and I'm getting very excited about this program. Love its simplicity. There's no technical jargon which I don't understand, and everything is nice and graphical and immediate. Fantastic. (I really like you as well!) :-) J...

Re: Wednesday 3 am quiz: Software houses by street view building
Great collection of images. Though I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to "guess" these if we don't already happen to know. Personally, I'd rather be given a list of the 9 answers so I can try and fit the buildings to the company based on style/scale.

Don't think it's that, but excellent guess, looks very similar.

Re: Escape from EXODRON
I don't think the deleted the comments are a "cover-up", I just think the author heard the complaints, tried to do the right thing, updated the release, and cleaned up the outdated comments for a fresh start. I'd probably have done the same thing myself. His lack of communication is probab...

Re: Lemmings on the Next
I love Lemmings. Love Tim Wright's awesome soundtrack (he also did the music for Oh No!). Just in case anyone's interested, I've been working on content for Spectrum Lemmings. I made a colour version of the logo. I made AY sound effects to emulate the Amiga sound effects (the button press sounds, et...

Re: Escape from EXODRON
There has to be something just a little weird about anyone who chooses to make games for a computer that came out 42 years ago. We're all a little quirky, to say the least.

Re: How much of a 48k game is graphics? How much is code?
Thanks for the responses chaps, it's fascinating! I have another question… I'm being told here by some that programmers don't want limits on their code size - the more space the better, ideally. Now that's something I personally agree with. I don't see anything "fun" about finding I've hit...

Re: How much of a 48k game is graphics? How much is code?
Paradigm, you're arguing that different game genres will create distinct peaks of their own, just as the height of men and women create two peaks on a single chart. In order for such distinct peaks to emerge, you'd need to have a small number of highly distinct game genres - a clustering together of...

Re: How much of a 48k game is graphics? How much is code?
I did A-Level statistics. the "curve" could look like a mountain range. All small sets of data look like mountain ranges. However, we are talking here about a theoretically unlimited sample size, with a real data set of thousands of games. The bigger the sample size, the closer the chart w...

Re: How much of a 48k game is graphics? How much is code?
I totally appreciate that the size of code varies a lot, and this fact is useful to know. But, statistically, there has to be some kind of "mean" average at the top of a bell curve. Whether the curve looks something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/TPCrTTTX/mean.png Or is flatter like this:...

MustardTiger, that is absolutely brilliant, thank you!
As for my project, I'm sorry to be cagey at this point. It's still way too early to make any announcements, but when the time is right I can't wait to share everything.
My idea might be a monorail. We'll see.
