Spectrum Computing

Ah no, the bright 0 blue between the palm trees still uses bright 1 yellow for the sand in the same attribute.

If you’re on Twitter, you could ask Edgar Wright to see if he remembers or knows.

and way too feminine

Photoshop or it’s ilk isn’t the best for opening SVG files. Only later versions of Photoshop will allow you to open SVG files. What you really need is a vector art package, like Illustrator…though that’ll be expensive, so InkScape will do and it’s free. Good luck if you’ve not done much with vectors...

I’d lock this thread now. It’s going to go exactly the same way as every other by the looks of it.

Or just print up your own copy, and sell it on when you get bored of it :lol: You jest, but there are counterfeit reproductions out there of these later Codemasters games. The problem? They are being sold at the same amount as the originals…more, in some cases, because of how good the condition is!...

Yip, you'll be better of trying to get it from a private seller, if they've got one going.
The later Codemasters releases are going for absolutely stupid money, so you either get lucky, hold off for a few years or bite the bullet and just pay through the nose.

I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times recently on both eBay and Facebook. There is one on eBay right now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zx-Spectrum- ... 635-2958-0

No need to apologise, it’s alright to disagree.

But no amount of extra graphic options will make it any easier for non-artist game makers to produce a stylish (good?) looking game.

entirely at the discretion of whatever programmer might want to use it. Programmers already have the freedom to make games that look like Delta's Shadow, but not everyone has the stylistic chops to pull off something like that. In the other thread, someone said that a lot of Spectrum games end up l...

Simple, really - Spectrum palette, no attribute restrictions. That’s it, really. No other palettes required.

It was something I was totally unaware of when I first got my Spectrum, but then again, it was bought first me by my parents. Up until then, I only ever had an Atari 2600 which made me aware that these things had restrictions. Did colour clash bother me? Not in the slightest, especially back then. M...

Yip, it’s happening to me loads of times the past week or so. This is my 3rd attempt to reply to this mind
Each time getting “Safari cannot open the page

“Hey Siri, show me the definition of programmer graphics.”

The answer is no. It does not work at all.

Not sure if this would work using red and magenta on a black background.

Who?!!

Well, sadly we didn’t quite make the Christmas release, thanks to a couple of annoying bugs that cropped up through testing. Those bugs have now been fixed, though, and we’ve added a couple of extra bits of polish and we’re just tidying up a couple of wee things so we can get release within the next...

If you really want to be a grumpy so and so, the settings are here. It's amazing that this sort of thing gets five pages of posts,. This thread is going to get longer than the Woot one.... :D Amazing new release of ZX Spectrum software, artwork, or music. Replies to thread : 3 replies Some shouty m...

Oh man, I hope that’s not the ending screen!

Sooooo tantalisingly close now.
