Missing credits on Nixy the glade Sprite

https://www.spectrumcomputing.co.uk/ent ... ade_Sprite

I am missing off the credits for Nixy The Glade Sprite. (David Saphier)

I did the linking, loader, menu and music code - it wasn't done by a tool.

Thanks

NextBuild + Boriel ZX Basic +VSCode - For writing ZX Next software

Hi, I just wanted to drop a note here about NextBuild which is a suite of tools for writing ZX Next software. Nextbuild comes with a library for Boriel's ZX Basic compiler that allows you to interact with the Next's hardware. Everything is packaged together which makes installing a piece of cake. Bo...

Re: New File Browser for ZX-UNO

Hi Bob - looks great and works well on the Next in classic esxdos mode.

Only issue I see is that its called the same as an existing dotcommand on the Next, .BROWSE on the Next initiates the build in browser.

Cheers

Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion

Right now I'd be happy with just the board.... The board only option has been delivered a long time ago, over 300 of them went out - it was said at the time if you dont want to wait for full kits back the board only - I'm sorry you didnt take that option, I did try and wrangle you a board at the ti...

Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion

The failure to renew the Certificate for their main website is just another example of the apathy and lack of concern for this project. Is one negative way you could look at it, the other way is that the new cert had been renewed but incorrectly applied and the person who can remedy that has been o...

Re: Slipknot on a spectrum 128k

Kowalski I have been listening to the Atari compilation all night, it really is amazing to hear high quality PWM just like the Atari ST.

Please let me know how this is done, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Thanks.

Re: Slipknot on a spectrum 128k

Thanks :) Although we know that Poke was the one who pioneered Atari tricks on Speccy, I have to stress that no single bit of his routines or any other tools or knowledge was used to make this demo. In fact, I don't even know how exactly he does this stuff but AFAIK our approach is quite different....

Re: Slipknot on a spectrum 128k

Slightly offtopic - check this this recent Spectrum demo, the music may really surprise you. As I understand it's AY mixing samples with regular "instruments" plus some very tricky timing which enables some animation on the screen meanwhile. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=75986 It's ...

Re: Rubicon

Hi,

Nixy yes I have worked on (menu code, wrapper, loader, basic anticheat) - Rubicon I have not worked on.

I think sometimes people get confused as I'm a bit all over, as I do code / music and then people also use the musicizer.

Re: ZX Spectrum Next emulator/debugger/assembler/disassembler

Matt's a great guy and his emulator looks really promising.

[mention]PaulJ[/mention] of course TSS should include the Next. There’s lots of us who have back the Next and would love to see if being explored in the show. :)

Most of the stuff I'm working on is Next based at the moment. Working on some updated examples for the manual.
