BTW—if you've claimed a year and didn't find time to finish it (or start it!), don't worry at all, but drop me a PM if you don't think you'll get around to it.

Pretty sure I finished 2018, but I don't remember if I sent also the screenshots?

[PeterJ]

I will do 2017.

[R-Tape]

I will do 2017.

That year has loads of missing games. Might be better to pick another year at the mo.

[PeterJ]

OK. 2005

[Manu128k]

Hey guys. It seems like I'm doing 2006

[PROSM]

I'll do 2002 if that's still free.

[R-Tape]

Hi guys, I think I'm done with 2006 but there are some games in the zip that don't have an existing entry in SC. Those games are listed in that year compo site but I don't know what to do with them, as they come as .p files. Do you know how to open those .p? Are those files to be included here in SC anyway?

Thanks

There are ZX81 tape images. You can use emulator EightyOne to open them.

They need to be added to ZXDB/SC, but producing proper screenshots for them is tricky. We will probably need [mention]kolbeck[/mention]'s assistance here!

[kolbeck]

Sure i Will have a look at it.

[Einar Saukas]

Sure i Will have a look at it.

Thank you!

[R-Tape]

[mention]Manu128k[/mention], perhaps you could just send me the Spectrum-only screens as before, and make a separate list of ZX81 stuff (no need for screenshots). I could then forward the relevant bits to [mention]kolbeck[/mention]?

[kolbeck]

I've gone through the zx81 mentioned so far in this thread and made screenshots for the following:

eroticen.p (missing)
intercep.p (missing)
interc-u.p (same as above with UDG)
mfield.p (missing)
outsch.p (missing)
tt.p - tron trails (missing)

BFS81 - Sinclair Blind Flight Simulator 2009 for the ZX81 (missing, ZX Spec exists)

[mention]R-Tape[/mention] - I will create a sheet for you with missing titles (please give me an ID).

[mention]R-Tape[/mention] I've sent you the screens in a PM
Thanks [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] [mention]kolbeck[/mention] for your help

[Einar Saukas]

@R-Tape I've sent you the screens in a PM
Thanks @Einar Saukas @kolbeck for your help

Thank you!!!

[kolbeck]

Update from my side. I've gone through all entries from 1996-2016 and scanned for ZX81 entries. I'll prepare a sheet for [mention]R-Tape[/mention] with new entries and provide screenshots as well.

Awesome!

[Spud]

I will do 2016. Not much happened that year and my time is somewhat limited at the moment.

60% through, will hopefully complete in a day or two!

[PROSM]

2002's entries are done. Sent you an email, [mention]R-Tape[/mention].

[PeterJ]

Final batch of Year 2000 just sent to [mention]R-Tape[/mention]

I'm collating the CGC 2009 files (thanks to @Guesser for doing the screens ages ago.



Sofa Move Simulator is only available as a .tar source code, to be compiled with z88dk. Quite an impressive wire frame 'game' by all accounts. I'm not familiar with z88dk or C - is anyone willing to put together a TAP file or snapshot for the archive? Here's the source code if so.

Sofa Move Simulator

Oh there are already compiled BIN and TAP files included in that tarball. I've extracted the TAP so it can be added as a separate download: sofarot.tap.

more details…

I had a go at recompiling it anyway. It uses the Classic Library, but Laszlo's line-drawing routine (specifically the way it uses zx_pxy2saddr to plot directly to the screen) doesn't seem to work with the version of Z88DK I have. I got it to work by swapping that out for the standard draw() function instead (from the Z88DK graphics library). I'm not sure what the custom drawing routine was intending to do differently (If you move the sofa out of bounds it gets a bit interesting^*, whereas the '09 version seems to handle that better—although you get corrupted attributes instead) but the game is playable (and winnable!) using the standard function. It's also a shade faster, but I assume the library has been optimised a bit since 2009?

In any case, all the clever transformation, projection and collision-detection works as-is.

^* an inverted space-time hypersofa wouldn't be entirely out of place in a Dirk Gently novel anyway, I suppose?

Splendid fellow! I couldn't get your link to work. However your info gave me enough to know what I needed to do. I'm not familiar with tar files (in fact they sound a bit icky), but 7zip extracted it nice and the TAP is now added to the queue.

It's quite a sight seeing that sofa move when you whack the emulator to full blast!

[flatduckrecords]

Ah, sorry for the duff link, glad you got it sorted. Such a great idea for a CGC entry. Yeah—I was surprised how solid it feels once you see it moving, even without any shading. I haven’t tried it overclocked yet!

Did you manage to free the sofa? (There’s nothing in the source code about office doors, time travel or restaurant bookings, so plenty of scope for a sequel…)
