Thanks... that chick doing the narration is super creepy - like AI generated creepy! (Uncanny valley)

The expansion options are awesome, but my dream is to have what looks like a microdrive but is really an SD reader. I'm on KS2 for a Next, but still like the old hardware to run my code on just to show myself it can.

Brilliant mods!

USB power sounds ideal. Are the fuse and zener required for that to work?

Thanks!

IOS emulator is cool! Happy to contribute our "Zonkey Kong" to it when we have it done (by end of Oct I think?)

Thanks.. debugging the elevator. I've got variables for both elevator and player, so rather than do in either move routine, this runs and does a compare on both variables. The player rides up, but stops early. Not sure why yet. When we have this in the can, I want to try my hand at hirez Robotron.

Thanks! That 1k Hi rez example is great - game premise is good too! Next thing I'd like to learn, if ya'll are willing to guide or example is how to do an object array. I'm assuming this is the best way to track multiple objects, and move them? In our Donkey Kong example (Zonkey Kong as we call it)....

I don't need it working, just would like a pretty one for the shelf. I dreamed of one as a kid, but they weren't sold here. Would like a nice looking one for the shelf - I'm in line for a NEXT in KS2!

TIA

Thanks Will do... - Where's the "new games" topic? Managed to get things working by moving the code around a little and just using the LD A,R and masking bits. Not toooo bad. Will def. check out other examples as I'll need better methods at some point. The result of all this will be a reasonable int...

Thanks... still getting same value if I call it in near succession. If I call further apart in the code it work fine though. Hmm.

So, I want to something very simple. I want a random int from 1-3 on the ZX-81 - In basic it might look like (RND *3)+1 - In Assembler, My understanding is would do this: - LD HL,$03 - CALL $0BED - LD A,L Then A would have my number in it. I've tried other methods like - or others using R: LD A,R LD...
