Someone from ZX-Uno's forums recommended this sound booster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... me.booster
make sure it is only enabled when loading spectrum games so you don't get deaf or fry your phone speakers

Re: Using Just Basic or Liberty Basic to test a zx spectrum program

I know, these things probably won't happen.. And you'd be right! No worries! :) if the IDE is as good as Basin it'll be useful to throw any Sinclair Basic program to see how could be expanded in a feasible compiled version. Trying to find a SpecBas <-> ZXBasic workflow looks like fun to me.

Re: Using Just Basic or Liberty Basic to test a zx spectrum program

well one idea would be to create a subset of different Basic commands : Sinclair Basic, Boriel, compilable SpecBas, full SpecBas. So the IDE could be set to work only on either of these modes. The ultimate tool for all the Speccy Basic dialects. Who knows if this could be useful to code in fast Basi...

Re: Using Just Basic or Liberty Basic to test a zx spectrum program

I mean most of us are more interested in the original machine so it would be great to translate SpecBas code to machine code. Anyways I'll play with SpecBas eventually.

Re: Using Just Basic or Liberty Basic to test a zx spectrum program

ZXBasic is a modern Basic language.

Besides I think the latest version is compatible with most of Sinclair Basic dialect.

Re: EFMB for the C64

^^ I think blocks are always the same height, any ways rotation is there in your head to guess before it happens. From ketchapp, I prefer 2cars though stick hero's gameplay could be interesting for a basketball game. Well the Draw sample from the Basic manual looks fast to me, the point is that you ...

Re: EFMB for the C64

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...

Re: EFMB for the C64

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...

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
