The Elite Demonstration Disc
I've started disassembling the #BBCMicro Elite Demonstration Disc.
Acornsoft sent this out to shops in 1984. It flies itself and contains rudimentary pilot AI.
Did anyone see this back in the day? Itβs fun to watch!

Itβs absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you
This is pretty amazing. Draw accurate landscapes from The Sentinel on a pen plotter? And animate them? I'm definitely in!

I do my projects for a lot of reasons, but seeing what people do with them? Yeah, that's a big one. π

Zezito Movement added, it is a bit too fast I will have to slow him down.

cool :) looking very slick
Looking great, sometime ago I was thinking about using double pixels on the y axis,I got the idea from pico-8 gfx and of course to make things faster on the Elk but it is a pig to create nice gfx and make it fit in the small window game area. You are doing very well using these big pixels.
Looking at the #CrashMagazine #ZXSpectrum covertapes #retrogaming January 1991 #Lightforce , such a great game, love the graphics on this one . Even if the ship looks a little like a sewing machine.
I love how hectic it looks! amazing job 0xC0DE
congrats on the release of this amazing game!
CHUCKULUS - for the Acorn Electron
Version 1.0 now available ! π₯³
github.com/Snuggsy187/C...
Download and play on an Emulator or real hardware !
....or play online in Electroniq - an emulator by @0xc0de.bsky.social
The 'to do' list is very small now....
Assigned some 'more realistic' high scores, and adjusted the bonus awarded at the end of each level, so you have some chance of the first digit in the score being used ! π
Leading zeroes have been ditched from the high score display....
Won't be long now....
'Search for the Lost Orb' is a text-based adventure game for the BBC Micro that I found whilst going through my disk collection. So far I have been unable to find out who actually wrote it. I asked the people on stardot, but had no luck. I think it could be Andy Bray (RIP) who I knew well BITD.
Just for fun this evening, played Mega-CD Soul Star. Kina funny playing one of my own games, but I was in the mood...
Did make me think of doing a PC retro style version. Same graphics and sound, but running at a much higher frame rate, plus loads more fx sprites!π Hmm... Might do it just for fun.π

Mini break over, back home now....
Just testing some stuff with a non-zero value in the clear screen procedure.... Highlighted a few issues, one with the DUCK sprite where I was wiping a bit too much than was necessary !
Pretty-much fixed, saved some more cycles !
