ZX81 Nuclear Power Station Software

[john_newcombe]

Just putting a few finishing touches to some ZX81 software to model a Pressurised Light Water nuclear power station. All of the maths is now complete and the model works, Just sorting the user interface. Hopefully I will get a video out soon on the GlassTTY YouTube channel.

Excellent use of a zeddy sir!

Look forward to seeing this and trying it with the 2 speed BASIC ROM.

Nice to see the old black wedge used as a computer and not just a games console.

Really interesting project. Can't wait to see the finished version.

So glad you said that, it is exactly my feeling.

The program was wriiten in C and cross compiled with ZX88DK so not sure if a faster Basic would help, although I do use the ROM floating point routines for all the maths.

Second control panel added! Just working on the thermal conductivity stuff now. Video on the 'GlassTTY' YouTube channel coming soon!

Looks very interesting, I will give it try...

Very cool. Reminds me a great deal of Chris Crawford's excellent early Atari Program Exchange title, SCRAM. I will give this a try this weekend.

I have added the thermodynamics stuff now and I just have a couple of bugs to sort. I am hoping to start making the video next week.

Watch this space...
