Is this program crap enough to drive the host insane?

Happy 2024, I have entered the new compo and this is my second submission. I've finally got the hang of UDG's and added a special ahem "Bonus" for the host. Let's see him try to get out of this one without the break key working shall we? AND to make matters worse, it will never end. Welcome to hell ...

Re: Plotting Pixels

What if I was using graph paper? Where would the X and Y areas start(when the screen is drawn to be precise)? Assuming I have a perfect grid, where would X and Y start on the ZX81?

I need to know this but otherwise, I'm doing it blind

I turned off 60hz mode for the ts1000 in Eightyone to get it to work.

Re: New release of EightyOne available

Ctrl+P does not work in spectrum mode so I have no way to type.
I'm a lefty when typing so I need to use said key combo. Using the right shift is awkward and slow

changing symbol shift in emulator

I'm not a southpaw person so it irks me that I have to cross hands whenever I'm typing on a speccy emulator. Is there a way to set Left Shift as symbol shift or at least ctrl?

It's awkward the other way around

Both FUSE and Eightyone have this issue for spectrum mode

Re: EIGHTYONE PROBLEM

Ctrl+P doesn't work in ZX Spectrum mode and there's no way to put the left shift as symbol, only the right.
