.... or a long rest ! 😅

Yes, I've been pondering the next thing..... Really should finish Fortress or KnightLore I guess ! 🤷

Just the SHIELA stuff and loop delay removed at the moment I think (dug this out from a few years ago !). While fine on the Beeb, the scrolling proc on the Elk is a big cycle hit, so could be a lot faster !

Reminded of your WIP:

Sorry if I've shattered the nostalgia illusion ! 😲😅

Maybe running it slower highlights the graphics and gameplay more than the Beeb original !

Sunday evening game
Nevryon (BBC Micro - 4th Dimension 1990)

But running on the Acorn Electron (one of my 187 projects on hold) !

Loads of optimisations needed to speed it up (most noticeably the scrolling code)

It's a multi-loader with disc access needed, so can't turn off the OS with this one !

Yay, cool ! 😎

I've got another year to go then ! Thanks for that, hopefully have the Electron version released fairly soon now ! 😀

Finished the 'to do' list....
Now concentrating on a few 'I'm not happy with....' issues.

Like the way the geese/hens attempt to flip direction to give the appearance they're walking around the back of the silo.... WIP, but trying another sprite set (which I'm much happier with at the moment) !

Thanks Ant, it's been insane convincing the Acorn Electron to even consider running this kind of game ! 😎

Yes, I still maintain he uses sorcery !

Repton 2 ?.... hang on, you said chilled :)

I'm in a Software Invasion phase at the moment so.... 3D Bomb Alley / Blitzkrieg / Vortex ?

If you give it a couple of weeks, there should be a new game on the scene !

Crazy film - I need to watch again.... That final scene of the knackered Earth gets me !

Yes, 3 days of dry weather here - tried to do some gardening earlier, but it's still a quagmire !

Anyway, cheers ! 🍻

Yes, I think there's a lot of that going on at the moment (me too)!

Struggling to think what day it is......
It's wine o'clock, so must be midweek Wednesday !

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 ! 😱
