oops. this definitely wasn't planned! i swear i debugged it!we can propel ourselves as high as we want, if we keep pressing the jump key whilst in mid-air
I forgot about that actually! Yes, there are three versions, each in varying states of development. Matt actually sent me an email with the corrected tape only a few hours after his first message, but I got the files completely mixed up.

What John also hasn't told you all is that there are THREE editions of the game on the tape! The first is the one that's been reviewed, the second is a dismal-weather version where the sun has ceased to exist (to the sound of excited squealing in a Liverpool accent), and finally... the action is transferred to a part of rural Cambridgeshire that I'll soon be moving to.

yeah. it is almost cheating. almost...
I do feel I let myself down there, but rest assured the game is crap, I promise.
...The only problem is that Frogger is the best game on Cassette 50 by miles, so you're probably looking at the wrong program for inspiration there...
Goodness gracious! That's the first time I've been POKEd like that, I feel... defiled.
And I've been responsible for two of them - Corona Capers, earlier this year, has three character arrays in its loading process, and Super Mario Fruit Machine from 2004 had both types of array - in fact, it had all four Spectrum loading headers. Then, courtesy of Paul E. Collins, there was Brad: The Game in 2014, which used 500-and-something character arrays to load the "chapters" from a choose-your-own-adventure that spanned over a megabyte and took... quite some time to load from tape. And if we're including loading data from tape for save high scores or saved game data, then I've got another one of those covered in the Casio MG-777 Games compilation, and Redcoats used both types of arrays to save its map layouts.
Famous last words indeed! But, be assured, this competition will be over by the 31st of December for the next host to take over in good time.
Glad to hear it. Punctuality is the CGC's watchword.
Dirty boy! Still, change the clockweights a bit and cover up the body hair, and it'd be a superior alternative to Weetabix vs the Titchies.In the meanwhile, we have a new entry which is the last of the July batch. It's The Adventures of Mr P.N., by AsteroideZX!
