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
Just the mouse pointer after resizing the window, everything else has been fine ! 😎

Excellent stuff !
I thought that window misalignment was just my ageing laptop/browser ! 👍
Shall have a look later - that RAM export sounds useful ! 😎
Wow, I can imagine that must have been quite an explosion !
I was looking at the connectors on the drive section earlier, and thought - they 'should' be ok, but that saucer is gonna be heavy ! 😲
I'll take extra care while doing the saucer section ! 😲
Just finished the 'drive' section, no chaos yet, even the instructions are making sense !
No audio required, I can hear it ! 😱

It's all very strange....
Haven't seen that one before ! I was only 11 when Return of the Jedi came out, but I thought I was aware of all the toys back then ! 🤷
Speeder Bike and Ewok Glider....
That's it for the smaller stuff. There's a Snowspeeder, X-Wing, AT-AT Walker and Millennium Falcon in Mum's Atic still, plus some more figures, which I may well investigate/rescue next time !
These crazy things.....
CAP-2, INT-4, ISP-6
Pretty sure they weren't in the movies (?), so they're all a bit odd....
So that's all the guns and stuff assigned to the correct figures !
The Emperor was wearing Luke's cloak for some reason....
Squid Head had Luke's gun....
....there was some other nonsense going on.... can't remember !
Now, what else we got here.....?
Wow, glad you're home safe at least, and not stuck over there around all the chaos !

Its getting there !
A page from that book helped, as I'm missing Luke's cloak, plus it identifies which blaster he should have ! 😎
😅
Not at all....
Actually was just looking for R2D2, C3PO.... also Chewbacca and others are missing.... Must be in the Falcon, I'll check that next time !
Mum's Atic Atac #31
Hauled a bag full of Star Wars figures ! At the bottom of the bag was a pile of associated guns and accessories.....
.... see where I'm going with this ? 🙄
'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.

Many thanks Stephen :)
Yes, some of the original levels require very little concentration due to muscle memory !
Had to keep those sounds in from the original Chuckie Egg... just about got enough Nebulus features too I think.
Acorn Electron release will be first, followed by Beeb version
How odd.... hopefully a temporary glitch somewhere.... 🤔

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 ! 😅
Leading zeroes have been ditched from the high score display....
Won't be long now....
Yay, I reckon, go for it 😊🎶

Eeek !
My other half got me a couple of the expansions for my birthday (when they were still releasing physical media !)....
We're still together, so I guess I didn't give the game the play time it deserved ! 😅
I used to play this a lot, but started losing interest after Pandaland.
For me, far too many island continents now, totally forgot what belongs to which expansion !
Anyway, enjoy 😊

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 !
Cool !
....and PCX, used that format a lot at work back in the early '90s !
😎
