Re: ZXSpin assembler not working

just out of curiosity, how do i save to tape or disk if i make a game? :?: Dev-wise I use ZX Spin to check if the code I've done is ok, the only thing that doesn't work properly is the beeper. When I'm happy I use Pasmo to compile and turn it into a tape format. If you want to add a loading screen ...

Re: ZXSpin assembler not working

If you're using 0.7 like me, try using whatever version @namco is using. Or give up!
It's version 0.666

Re: ZX Spectrum Next

Had mine about 3 months now. Pleased with it (housed it in a 48k case). You guys saying you will buy retail, don't think there are any plans for a retail release...at least none have been announced or spoken of. Let's at least wait until the Kickstarter is finally over and done with before we start...

Re: Old new software

From last year's BASIC Jam is my entry: https://namco.itch.io/brexit-the-final-countdown I spent some hours yesterday re-coding it onto 48k BASIC and adding some updated code. More needs adding and should be finished in a couple of months. Speaking of which - I can add screen loaders to my Z80 games...

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with D: discussion

I originally played Death Stalker on Quattro Combat (where I was first introduced to Ninja Massacre). Never got very far when I was young but recently I did get further with it. In my first Z80 game, Bob the Space Janitor - written for Speccy Jam 2, I paid homage to the menu option that was featured...

[Not MIA]Virgin's Judge Dredd

Not sure where to put this but I remembered that someone had found and uploaded the disk version of Virgin's Judge Dredd. This was never put on WoS, I've checked ZXDB and I can't see that there either. Could someone add it please? The source is here (just search for Judge Dredd and you'll find the d...

Re: ZX Spectrum Next

I didn't back it as I had little money at the time but I am looking forward to a retail release.

I have a couple of planned projects for it - one starting fairly soon and the other starting at the end of the year (2018).

Re: ZXSpin Assembler

Both ways work as long as the vertical axis is RSTd first followed the horizontal axis. I think that's why Jonathan uses them that was round, because we say X,Y and the ROM print uses the vertical cord first. That's fine! :) Oh and it's probably best to use brackets when seeing things like this: ld...

Re: ZXSpin Assembler

[mention]R-Tape[/mention] Beaten me to it, I was just about to mention that line (but not the solution).

However, comparing this code to mine (from a earlier game):

Code: Select all

ld a,(plx)
rst 16
ld a,(ply)
rst 16
Are the x and y values the wrong way around?
