Every time I program a character to move, the screen for X and Y would normally map up to y along with down and left/right to X but on the spectrum (please lord let this be the only 8 bit with this issue) the Y is left/right and the X is up/down. I know my left from my right and up from down, so ple...

Re: Eightyone emulator not recognizing cursor keys as joystick

It does not work with arrow keys. Tried twice. maybe someone can fix that in an update? also, the spectrum maps the X coordinate and the Y coordinate as X=down, Y=across instead of Y down, X across which plays merry hell with any programs using these coordinates. In other words, moving UP causes me ...

Eightyone emulator not recognizing cursor keys as joystick

This is my code: 10 LET X=0: LET Y=0 15 LET J=0: LET K=10 20 LET K$=INKEY$ 25 PRINT AT J,K; "*" 30 IF K$="" THEN GOTO 30 40 IF K$="8" (CURSOR RIGHT) THEN LET X=X+1 (for some reason X and Y are flipped) 41 if K$="5" (CURSOR LEFT) THEN LET X=X+1 72 GOTO 20 it just sits there and I can't move it at all...

Does the zx spectrum have a fill command?

One of the games I uploaded to the CGC required a fill command for one of the shapes (namely a circle). Is there a way to fill in a given shape once drawn? Just the shape, not the screen. I've tried paper and CLS but that doesn't work. Ideas?
