Re: BASIC

I'm finding nice tools like renumber and REM creator, but cant see how to get the input into text mode?

Can you tell me how.

The http://www.hebdogiciel.fr/ZX81.htm link looks very interesting

Re: BASIC

Use the Df-CC Basic variable in 16398... If the "Print AT" is used , this variable store the screen address offset ! Dont forget the ";" after the "PRINT AT" to point to the next address offset, not the next "line" address offset. I know about the Df-CC variable but havent done a lot with it becaus...

Re: BASIC

import/export with an emulator Vb81 XUR is "AN" emulator... too... and it looks brilliant too!!! I am at work so cant do a lot with it but I think this is going to be my favorite emulator for the ZX 81. Loading and saving text plus assembler and disassembler are perfect. All the other tools just fe...

Re: BASIC

When you know where your code is printed on the screen you can also change the inversebit of the score on the screen. Yep, I use this formula to work out the position in DFILE using y,x co-ordinates from Basic : = DFILE + (33*Y+1)+X Don't know if that's the most efficient way of calculating an addr...

Re: BASIC

XavSnap, Looks great, I'm going to look at the code later today. Can I ask how you got the Basic in a format that could be copied and pasted above? It would be very useful if its possible to use an external editor and import/export with an emulator. OK - edited to say I've got the routine into the e...

Re: BASIC

Thanks Buka

I can see what you are doing, but as you say it will be slow. Probably to slow for anything where the score changes rapidly.

BASIC

Im not sure what the best way to ask this question is but Is it possible to print a variable value as inverse text? For example if the score for a game was held in Variable S and I wanted to print something like this: 10 PRINT "SCORE : "; S; " LIVES: "; L Where everything including the Variables wou...

Re: ZXpand

Hi, me again. Just spotted that the ZXpand has an autoboot facility. Can you tell me how to set this up.

I've got commander for viewing/loading files. Is there any other apps available?

Re: ZXpand

Thanks for the quick reply. I did have the official manual printed and bound, then I spotted the thread above with the CAT changes but I wasn't sure how comprehensive it was. I'll get the additional stuff bound into the manual next week. I did get the end plate of the Memopak case cut and it looks g...
