DRAW lines are drawn quite fast in Basic, right? so you could print sprites only at the ends of every line. Perhaps a gameplay as in Stick Hero where you'd have to guess your next move and the baddies' one https://youtu.be/kwZSh9Ckucw you could even have pills to enlarge your dickness :) I'll give t...

Nice. I played more the PC version. Could this be made with old good slow Sinclair Basic? One idea would be using lightning Draw lines right before any sprite moves, a bit like the animation when the hero moves between teleporters.. or perhaps showing diffrent lines in length for every baddie, the s...

I heard his arcade cabinet project went wrong and became Missus on the jacuzzi cabinet

Let me know if you want me to discuss anything. For example, Solitario-1K, this game was originally published for ZX81 here https://web.archive.org/web/20150317003807/http://zonadepruebas.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5434 I think the author's documentation would deserve to be preserved (I should hav...

Thanks! though there seem to be quite a few titles with source code NOT listed by ZXDB, at least from 2013 onwards : https://awesome-table.com/-KTJLy2xX7_E1 ... ilterO=src
apart from Sinclair Basic titles

mid-2013 with some mods from earlier

By the way, Einar, you may have overlooked some ZX-81 games by Dancresp which are nicely documented on this sub-forum : http://www.retrowiki.es/viewforum.php?f=83

Hi Einar There you have a few lists. You can get more from by playing with dropdowns "Main Programming Language" and "Tags" (tags starting by Src to get the opensourced ones). To get prefiltered URLs for every view, click on the white semicircle in the top right. Sinclair Basic g...

Hi Peter. Intesting.. I thought there would be a database somewhere, at least with a register of Basic games? I have this information for games after 2013 as well as which ones provide source code. I believe ZXDB contains this info.

Would it be handy to have a field for programming languages and open source programs?
For example to search only amongst Sinclair Basic games.

even better playing it like a hangman or wheel of fortune

No problem. One amateur tip to test the layout from the PC is just resizing the browser window in many wild ways

It's a 4.5 inch device
I suggested to place emulator links on the leftmost side before tape links or..maybe leave more space between tape and joystick links so they fall on different lines

Indeed,thanks

however emulator links do not fit on portrait on smaller devices
an easy fix could be placing joystick links first, to the left of tape links

I've found this demo in Basic, somewhat related with 53c, which tried to emulate 128 different colours, Rainbird

Did you know about these mods?

They are worth a try as playability has been greatly improved with new controls.

Thanks!

Styling looks like this on my tablet

Monocolour games in yellow are nice.
One idea could be impossible to traverse hallways unless you use the driller to provoke insect infighting, give them reproduction hormones, block anthills, lay sugary baits, etc

Short but sweet.
It could be interesting that losing a few lives forced the player to repeat the previous level, so infy lives but at the cost of having to jump thoughtfully, the game would last longer too.

^^^ you are welcome. You may want to try this
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

#disable_overscan=1

That's 60 Hz. Try hdmi_mode=17 to get 50 Hz

I remember that game! probably the only pinball videogame I've ever played too.

By the way, I've just learnt that a Subbuteo game was released for the Spectrum.

Retroarch has a Fuse version : http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.7 ... tion/vita/

This thread may help : https://www.elotrolado.net/viewtopic.php?p=1745627900

All that said I don't own a ps vita

Subbuteo?? Naaah..too britny classy. I would prefer dirty bottle caps and DRAW lightnings aka ellipSical physics

No, it must be Billar Americano (Artic's Snooker) though I'd like to think it was Bug-Byte's Pool.
Do you know some futbol-chapas game?
