Why not make the your latest development snapshot of the game available. Perhaps someone could help with the key bug.

It's an experimental untested version that Jonathan released about one year ago as legacy before concentrating all of his efforts on the Windows multi-platform edition.

HI.
Updated UFO on https://packobilly.itch.io/ufo
Fixed the key bug.
Jonathan recommended me to do the Custom check in the player event. I have tried several times and there is not any issue.
Thank you so much, R-Type!
Cheers!

Interesante propuesta, Druellan!

Enhorabuena!
Lo que AsteroideZX está haciendo para promover la programación en Basic es impresionante, porque no sólo comparte los conocimientos, sinó que además ha gestado una comunidad entusiasta que incentiva la creación de estos trabajos, que para muchos es el primer juego que hacen en el ordenador de su infancia, algo que me alegra el día inmediatamente.

Sorry the Spanish :)

Since it seems to have been overlooked it the latest site update, I'll go a head and plug it here: Mostly Harmless - an Elite save game editor. Could someone be a champ and add it with the next update, thanks! :)

You need to have the original Alicia.z80 file and then apply the patch file via Delta Patcher to translate it to English.

This is the original game:

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=5942

But I've got a MAC and have no idea how to apply an .xdelta file to a z80.

Magenta Jim and the Coins of Doom

Image

You are a purple chap, first name James, and you need to collect the coins of doom against the clock, while pursued by what we are pleased to call "the Cylon Ghosts". A rather decent AGD maze game from Gaz Marshall.

If anyone's in touch with the author, could they check the distribution permission of this game (i.e can we host the .TAP file at SC after the next ZXDB update? :) )

Posting on behalf of Andy Ford ("Spider") of the JSW & MM Community, regarding MM2020 Special Edition:

This small eight cavern mini game is dedicated to all essential workers in any industry or sector who are continuing to keep things moving during these highly unprecedented times of the 2020 lockdown. We say "Thank You"

Note if linking download elsewhere please use the link above, not the file one itself (as the latter is dynamic and it won't stay working for too long)

Will be keeping a top-x scores record on its discussion topic on the jswmm site too.

Here's a little open source Tic tac toe game for ZX Spectrum. Download it here:
http://teutoburgo.tk/giochi/indexgiochiEnFrame.html
The .zip archive contains also the BASIC source, the .tzx and the .tap
The license is GNU GPL, so it is freely redistributable.
Enjoy it!

This is the official release of my NEW ZX81 EMULATOR for the 48K ZX Spectrum.
Fully software and much faster than my emulator from 1997.
The old emulator is also included.

Nice one! Would you say it's sufficiently different from your original to have a separate ID? Or should it replace for the original ID?

The original has 81 TO SPECCIE tool in it, which must be preserved too.
The new emulator is
1) MUCH FASTER
2) has extra options in the menu
3) a full keyboard in the display
4) can load games with hidden data on it
5) can load and run games with BASIC hidden on the sysvar.

It also has a new name : old ZX81EMUL, new SP-2-ZX81
It more a new game in same category than a simple update which makes it worth a new ID.

I am thinking of adding Chroma charactersupport (not colour) but I am 256 bytes short in free memory. Either I give up the ZX81 keyboard, find room in a different way or skip this support.

I'm not sure how to screenshot this to properly show it off. There is only a flashing cursor to see. Could someone take a screenshot of if doing something interesting, and that makes it obvious it's a ZX81 emulator? (the screen must be in the .scr format)

Also, [mention]Dr beep[/mention], do you still call yourself "YRS" as publisher, or should that be "Dr Beep" now?

Best screenshot would be
1 start emulator until K-cursor
2 press 1 and 0 together

As for YRS that is the groupname I use, many moons ago we were with 3. I am the only one left (there can be only one). So publisher is YRS and I am the writer on behalve of YRS
