I usually have multiple jump tables so maybe I should try it, but I usually just use some self-modifying code instead
It's in Zalaga as well, so there must be a good reason for using it
I can't really find a use for it even today. I wish they had put some other useful instructions in there instead
Only 66? π
How about the "double zeropage wraparound" of the (zp,X) addressing mode π
You are going to need a new project soon π Oh yeah, one of my 187 WIP projects... π«£
That's actually not too bad at all! Does this version have some of your modifications/optimisations already?
Thanking you kindly! π€
Yet these limitations produce creative solutions even 40 years later πͺ
It's a stable raster with perfectly timed colour palette changes in the 24us of hblank. Btw, the Elk has a fixed interlaced PAL display, another challenge for any demo coder π
Weird as in character cell based. 8 bytes down, then move 1 char cell to the right, another 8 bytes in that cell, and so on. Would have loved a simple scanline based format
That's the way it should be!
Only 8 colours in a 4 colour screen mode π
Definitely not. Just a single binary running on a bog standard Electron in ultra slow screen MODE 1 π
It does but only in multiples of 64 bytes. And the Electron has a weird screen format
Reminds me of my own journey 6+ years ago when I found my childhood Electron in the loft. Good luck and have fun!
They are practically indestructible π (You probably already know this but if you need help, there is always the Stardot forum)

Cheers! πͺπ
Thanks! Nothing compares to the real thing so I hope you can bring your Electron back eventually π
π€£
We will never know, but we can still make cool things for the Electron now =)
π€£ Ooh nice! That was the best feeling of having one of my games released on physical media so I could pretend to be a bedroom coder in the 80s π
Nice to see my demo effect "in the wild" on a real Electron. What can I say... it's magic! π
That should be fixed now πͺ
Thanks! Do you mean the misalignment between the mouse pointer and e.g. menu items or something else altogether?
Minor update to Electroniq (online Acorn Electron emulator) 0xc0de6502.github.io/electroniq/
* More GPU friendly (at least my laptop no longer sounds like it is ready to take off!)
* Fixed misalignment when scaling browser window
* Added "export RAM" option
Very nice! πͺ
