Spectrum Computing

I have used dropbox before. the problem is that, i'd rather do it directly than wait for a response. I've checked the site updates and none of my entries have been posted. besides, Posting an image is tricky. Have http://www.imgur.com open in a browser tab. Don't even bother to sign up to it, you c...

i actually do have one question. if i was to Log an AY file, what format would i use: Z80, PNG or RZX?

for fuse 1.5.3

it will take me a while to get the hang of the image system but i will have a demo out soon

(sigh) this site really needs a way to attach files other than through the dropbox or Post image. Like Stardot's attachment system.

it would be useless. the cd drive installed runs at 1x, 2x max

What specs are the PC with Win 98? - I'm running a 1.3ghz Celeron with Win98 + 512mb SD Ram, onboard graphics, 200gb IDE hard drive and it's pretty damn fast. Can we have emulators on the PC? Anyway, the holiday is in Hawaii, once I've sorted my passport/visas, I'll sod the computer and use the lim...

only if you allow commodore users on your trip

you have won an all expense paid vacation to Hawaii BUT you are only allowed one computer. your options: 1. Windows 98 ME 2. Commodore vic 20 3. TRS 80 4. Amstrad CPC 5. Coleco ADAM (cannot use on plane or you will die) 6. Atari 800 XL however, you cannot take a disk drive or printer. tape drives ar...

I didn't have a clue as to the first ever commercially-released Spectrum game and can't confirm anything, but I've given Spectral Invaders a go and it's pretty damned good if it holds that accolade. Considering the first game most early Speccy users would have played would be Thru The Wall on the H...

so, what could be an example of a spectrum port turning out worse on the c64 or a c64 port turning out worse on the amiga?

i find point #2 laughable given the vic's sound capabilities

Pure Basic. i'm also making a version for the BBC Micro. Graphics are going to be...problematic with just a touchpad. though i have audacity, so maybe i could run some music through that and try (keyword is try) to emulate that with the 128's AY speaker. I've decided to scrap the 48k version altoget...

So here's a basic prototype . It uses QAOP but could easily be modified to use WASD. One thing to note is that it uses a string array rather than a number array to store the position of the snake segments; this is to save memory as a number uses 5 bytes but a letter only uses a single byte. It also...

I need a reference for the Inkey$ command and moving sprites.

it's for here. i want to add buttons and such but the Inkey$ command is confusing.

the name of the game is Push Fatty push. your goal is to push the boulder to the top, only to see it roll back down. every push to the top gets you 1 point. accumulate 10 and the game restarts.

Just found out about BBC DOS. Holy sh*te

Yes, It's called the Frankenthread

so, i'm currently in the process of making a skyrim version for the 48k and 128k/pentagon spectrums. The entire game is text related but i will fix some of the more annoying PC problems: *Removing the companion system: NPC's can still follow and fight with you but can not be talked to *Getting rid o...

my apologies in being so late. yes, i did try the one from here and it's a lot better.

No one remembers the Myth of Sisyphus, but i decided to make a (poorly drawn) version of the boulder. unfortunately, it's crap. i'm posting to show why and how i can improve it. my goal is to make a slanted mountain and a stick figure representing the poor man. i might add some controls, maybe some ...

Friday the 13th for nes has a confusing map but i's not a maze game...or is it
