Yeah thats a good point Bobs - your game does show that its possible even for the low-res to work. I had always thought in my own mind the need to see whats coming below as you scroll down being quite inportant - the bigger ships, the less cavern walls you'd see. But I can certainly see how its stil...

Hi What would the challenges in porting thrust to the zx81? Hires or pseudo hires would be a prerequisite I guess Speccy version here: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005245 It only had 6 actual screens, although fiendishly difficult they are! Its such an awesome game though! cheer...

Cheers olofsen & dr beep - will play around some more to see what might be wrong. I might even just trying typing in the original program the way the book does, & see if it ever actually worked out of the box! I know the author of the pages thunor has a downloadable (& working) version on the page b...

Hi I've been trying my hand at assembly/machine code going through the mastering machine code book (or at least the updated web version of it) here: http://www.users.waitrose.com/~thunor/mmcoyzx81/chapter14.html I've been using the assembler pasmo on my linux (ubuntu) laptop. I can actually run the ...

Gotta say, this is an awesome project!

This will be my default emulator from now on I think.

Well done!!!

Moonlander in hi-res would be a great idea for a 1k game!

Thanks guys! Its quite cool how it all comes together!! I've also got an example from the original ZX Assembler manual where it prints stars on the screen working in pasmo! I even was interested in looking at why CALL 0808 prints a character to the screen in ZXAS 2, so looked at the ZX81 Rom Disasem...

Hi Over christmas thought I would get back into learning ZX81 assembly language and machine code. Am using Linux as my desktop, so am also using http://sz81.sourceforge.net/ Thought I would use the excellent updated version of Mastering Machine Code on the ZX81. Using an example from http://www.user...

Hey XavSnap From the looks, your link is the original 'ZX Assembler' manual which is what I'm using. What I was trying to do in the above thread was apply that manual to 'ZX Assembler 2', as it handles some things differently. I haven't got back to trying to get those examples in the original manual...
