Spectrum Computing

I downloaded a font for the game I'm making,it might be yours

Does your website have the ability to show free vs non free Fonts?

Mine were interested in it for about a week. It was everyone's first gaming experience after the arcade and crappy home pong systems. They saw horizons and the grand prix game chequered flag and seemed impressed. I think they tried magic carpet and glug glug, but soon after that couldn't be bothered...

Thanks for the offers, I found someone who said they would do composite mod and recapping for £30 retro passion

Looks like a cool game. How much ram does it take up?
I tried making something in Sinclair basic but couldn't deal with variables that were single letters only.

I tried six languages altogether and switched to machine code only in the end. As all the languages had fatal flaws.

The zxhd is about £92 and I have no experience and no soldering tools.
Does anyone do composite modding through the post?

Thanks

Ok sorry for the possibly obvious question:

The ear socket is for loading games,
is the mic socket for saving?

Thanks I ordered this:

Is it a splitter?

Thanks!
I'll try buying one

I'll probably end up using something like for another purpose .but I've got a rubber keyed spectrum with no tape recorder

So I'm wondering if a walkman earphone/headphone socket will be good enough to load tapes to the spectrum?

I'm finding it a little difficult to obtain one of those 80's tape players.
Are there other things like stereos or walkmans that have the right sockets to load games?

yeah I played that on the ZXDS a bit. Very similar on a superficial level but gameplay differences are enough to warrant it being a different genre

are there any comments, like morkin can only do this if this

I like Chaos but just prefer L.S. because it has scenarios. I used to play it a lot single and multiplayer. I didn't play chaos near as much. It was superseded by Lords of Chaos which whiled away many hours on multiplayer. The single player campaigns were somewhat lacking. I would also prefer rebels...

I'd go for manic because jsw is too hard and buggy.
In manic there is a better sense of progression.
The first level is great,challenging but doable.

It's gotta be roadrunner

only played archon and thought it was good

Oh I see, I should really check these games out

Wasn't there a knight orc game?

I haven't actually played any of these

Just never saw them in the shops ever

That Currah source thing looks great.

I heard of their speech thing constantly throughout the 80's but never heard of that unfortunately!

Yeah if people enter ASM commands as data statements they'd have to manage labels themselves, but I presume the OP is using an actual assembler. Seen as he is using a 128k computer. As in if someone uses the 48k spectrum itself they might have to actually enter memory addresses instead of label name...

That's pretty cool, just wondering what happens if the spectrum crashes.
Do you just reset it and the code is saved on sd?
How long does it take to get back into the ide?

I know it would be pointless but... Would anyone buy a thing that plugged into the back of the spectrum that had rom and ram, which had a full featured assembler and text editor? (Nothing too crazy like including a scripting language, just simple macros maybe) The code would be saved in the device (...

How would you handle labels if programming on the spectrum itself?

Codemasters would release games that looked very similar to games released four years earlier by other companies. But at one fifth the price... and gameplay.
