Excellent! The built-in keys are TERRIBLE, but I didn't know how to change them and I'd remapped them with an emulator anyway. Any chance you could apply the patch to the latest versions, with the proper attract-mode text and the high-score display?

(I tried adding these lines from the BAS file to the latest versions myself:

9542 POKE 17247,205
9543 POKE 17248,214
9544 POKE 17249,68

9800 PRINT AT 21,0;" ENTER UP/DOWN/LEFT/RITE KEYS. "
9810 INPUT K$
9820 POKE A+80,CODE K$(1)+128
9825 POKE 17638,CODE K$(1)
9830 POKE A+113,CODE K$(2)+128
9835 POKE 17646,CODE K$(2)
9840 POKE A+146,CODE K$(3)+128
9845 POKE 17654,CODE K$(3)
9850 POKE A+179,CODE K$(4)+128
9855 POKE 17662,CODE K$(4)
9900 GOTO 9680

but that just crashed everything, same if I left out the "A+x" lines that POKE directly to the screen.)

(PS to save you counting, the values for A in the latest version are A+667, A+672, A+679 and A+686.)

Hi all,

Many thanks for help.

My web site is now updated with the French release.
I put a link to this tread in the zipped, to download the last beautifully JohnsBargs's update.

Thanks for this colourful English release JohnsBargs.

I've updated the zip file.

Wow, the game is so exciting that I couldn't resist adding UDG chars, I hope you enjoy.

On Eightyone set "Chr$ Generator" to CHR$128 and "High Resolution" to none.

If ZXpand is enabled, then type CONFIG "X" to disable it; Open the nibbler.tzx on Tape Manager and type LOAD "".

On real word:

With UDG4ZXPAND set it to 128.

With Chroma-81 the configuration switch 3 must be set to on.

Place the files nibbler$.p and nibbler.p in the same directory then load nibbler$.p and it will do the rest.

But still thinking about an SFX version...

Excellent looking conversion, Kelly.

I did think about doing it myself but I don't think I could top this, well done sir.


EDIT.
Had to redefine keys in Eighty One, real zeddy and SZ-81 as it wouldn't respond to direction controls when first launched.

The game was saved with IJKL as the default keys.

Hi Greg! Thanks for letting me know.

A new file was generated with the QAOP keys as default, see above.

Love it! Did you speed it up too, or am I imagining it?

Weirdly it looks totally different on a Raspberry Pi.
