Re: Database model ZXDB
There's finally a new version of ZXDB here!
This update contains lots of additional links to CASA (thanks to Thomas!), new titles (thanks to hikoki!) and new downloadable files (thanks to R-Tape!)
Sorry for the extra delay, I have been too busy... Next update will include a lot more files that I didn't have time to include yet

Re: Database model ZXDB
Is it possible at the moment to see games added in last update ?
Re: Database model ZXDB
Yep, homepage 'updates'. Often it's new ZXDB entries with screenshots, TAPs and instructions that fill in later.

Re: Database model ZXDB
La Churrera has changed its license, see: http://www.mojontwins.com/juegos_mojono ... a-english/
So Comments on ZXDB are incorrect : https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30008
I believe this sort of wrong comments are on every game made with La Churrera which now is officially called MK1.
Note that while MK1 is copyleft, MK2 remains free for nonprofit
what is this title on ZXDB? https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=32113
this may be superseded by https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30160
I'll post more .scr from recent games later.

Unlisted games on zxdb : https://awesome-table.com/-KTJLy2xX7_E1 ... N=unlisted
Pay attention to what I consider "compilation" sorry now you'll get what I mean by community effort. I don't know your plans though.
Of course
Run!!!

Re: Database model ZXDB
Ops! I was in a hurry when I posted the ZXDB update last night, so I forgot to thank everybody that assisted with content. Sorry! Although it's easy to guess the usual contributors: R-Tape, Peter, hikoki, Thomas, and everyone else that posted useful information in this forum. Thank you!

Re: Database model ZXDB
Don't know if this is the right place to report this but for the recently submitted entry for my WOOT! entry 'I'm Dreaming Of A Black And White Christmas'
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=32193
the loading screen is from another Woot! entry 'Christmas Pudding Attack'
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=32192
Black and White Christmas doesn't have a loading screen.
Thanks,
Bob Fossil

Re: Database model ZXDB
That's my fault, sorry Bob.
And sorry to you Einar, I know you had to correct more errors in my spreadsheet this time.
I might not be able to look at this till tomorrow, Peter i'll be in touch then.

Re: Database model ZXDB
Is there a categorical lacuna for gamebooks and stories? Yerzmyey's new game, the (hopeful) possibility of more MuCho's and pure stories like Crash Compo*
Is there enough of a case to add a new genre or genres to ZXDB?
*these are being added to the spreadsheet.

Re: Database model ZXDB
There isn't much of such genre but there would be also Adrian Mole game, some Danger Mouse game and probably a few more. About 10 titles I guess. Decide if it is enough.
Just don't mess it with "Book" category which is alrady present here (I checked it). That one is for "static" books - programs which enable you to read content of some book but you don't make any decision there.

Re: Database model ZXDB
There is an "e-Book" tag on infoseek : http://goo.gl/XZPRG6
Mucho allows to make "gameBooks", that is, regular ebooks but also ebooks with dice mechanics and game logic that makes the text change unlike with ebooks, take into account rpg statistics, etc so apparently gamebooks may look like regular ebooks but might be something else besides regular ebooks, adventure:text, adventure:graphic, strategy:management, cards..
