Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: added a linked polygon system so that I can link surface detail to a polygon. Also added support for 5-sided polygons. Rearranged some memory too, so models are now in their own bank. Oh, and added some quick lasers too! Next step might be to make ships move...

The one in which I talk about the success of the ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 Kickstarter and what's around the corner.
£ 1.5mil. UNLOCKED!
£14,010 pounds away from £1.5million!
As seen in BASIC program “peeker” on ZX Spectrum.
Look at these numbers
0.5
0.19
0.123
0.1648
0.12345
0.747747
0.1234321
0.12345678
All are inaccurate on the standard ZX Spectrum.
For the true floating point form print the number with a divisor.
e.g.
12345/100000 has mantissa 7CD35A85 not 7CD35A84 as used in the Spectrum.
I fixed it for ya! 🙂
And don’t forget Gosh Wonderful as well as Looking Glass ROMs by the ever amazing @warmtoffee.bsky.social are included with each ZX Spectrum Next!
