General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

The UDG graphics are loaded separately using LOAD ""CODE. You probably assumed it was Assembly code. :)

I suspect he was thinking that the graphics were drawn using basic commands, and that the game could have been published as a type-in.
Obviously there's no clear definition of a basic program...

If PC never leaves the range $0 - $3FFF then it's BASIC.

Why don't you upload it to ZX-Art?
At least I digged out my ZX Microdrive cartridge with the bugfixed version of the type-in, including my own loading screen and a self-created font (provisionally published here). I even found the original letter that came from Computer & Video Games in reply to my bugfix description (and gaming tips...).
