Re: Little bugs in the database 6
Program Dieta Cientifica (in Spanish) was probably published as type-in at magazine K64 but I could not find it. Please help!

Re: ZX Spectrum Top 100 games collection (feat. 274 titles)
I did have a look at SCORES tab on the main page and thought I will find it there...but was kinda in a rush and didn't look further. Shouldn't it be up there too, @PeterJ ? WoS scores are featured after all. This site has 2 score menus. One accessible from the main page (showing scores based on mag...

Serbian magazine "Svet Kompjutera"
About these Serbian titles:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?label_id=14106
Some of them (perhaps all?) were originally published as type-in at magazine Svet Kompjutera.
If you understand Serbian, could you please try to find any of these programs in the magazine?

Re: Little bugs in the database 6
I'm guessing that The Open Door was originally released in 1987 (not 1988) and it first appeared in compilation 6 in 1.
Is this information correct?

Re: Dr. Acula
There's one final change, this time to improve layout of level 49. Although it didn't prevent from completing the game, thus there's no need to start it all over again if you already had version 1.03R...
Otherwise you can download the final version 1.04R from Colin's site.

Note from admin. The authors have requested that you download the latest copy from here. Thanks!
Another bug: level 45 could not be completed due to a dead-end.
I reported it to Colin, that released another fix. Please download version 1.03R from the link above (Text edited by admin)

Please add 2 tags for bosses. - first one for the final boss, e.g. Draconus https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?group_id=1072 - and another for level bosses, e.g. Silkworm; this tag is also for games that have several bosses but have no separate levels https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?group_id...

My apologies for not explaining it better in the manual! The section of the manual about "NIRVANA API" doesn't refer to the source code. It refers to the provided API for ZX Basic (available from the link you mentioned) and z88dk (currently inside the official z88dk distribution). If you a...

Re: 2d and other graphics modes
All these examples are 3D perspective.
Notice how parallel lines meet towards the horizon (especially the road), and all objects (cars, enemies, walls, etc) get smaller in the distance.

Other options for flat 2d are 1st-person (usually a view from a racing car, a crosshair for FPS shooters) Behind view (racing genre is the only that comes to my mind) Your description sounds like 3D perspective...
