Whatever happened to the Minertron?
Whatever happened to the Minertron?
There used to be an online Manic Miner message generator called the Minertron. I can't seem to find it anymore, anyone have a link? It may no longer exist, if that's the case I don't suppose anyone has the knowhow to create such a thing?

What did it do, exactly?
Derek Fountain, author of the ZX Spectrum C Programmer's Getting Started Guide and various open source games, hardware and other projects, including an IF1 and ZX Microdrive emulator.

It was an online GIF generator, you typed in two messages and it created a MM style loading screen for it.
Re: Whatever happened to the Minertron?
It seems simple to implement, if the output is an SCR file.
But the number of letters that fit on screen is probably really small 4 to 5 at most, given the limitations of producing letter with full char sized "pixels."
Then there are tools to convert them to GIF.
P.S.
I have something different, that generates a kind of scrolling, but it's not ready for public consumption just yet.
In due time, it will surface
