Are you a fan of lasers (you'll see what I did there later) ?

WIP gameplay of the first part of the second area of my as-yet unnamed #Amiga isometric arcade adventure game.

This probably calls for a devlog...

The release video for Mille: Sinclair Spectrum edition. Sorry for the music, well ... not that sorry. #RetroGaming #RetroDev #IndieDev https://youtu.be/PjsiLjGx2s0

The Sinclair Spectrum port of Mille, our game based on the French card game Milles Bourne, has hit v1.0. We've made it $1 and any sales will help contribute to future development https://tonsomo.itch.io/mille-sinclair-spectrum-edition #RetroGaming #IndieDev #RetroDev

A new version of the Sinclair Spectrum port of Jurl is available this marks the 1.0 release version.

The release version is $1 which will help fund future development.

A new version of the Sinclair Spectrum port of Jurl is available, with the addition of a poor rendition of Fur Elise this marks the 1.0 release.

As such i've made it $1 now, which will help finance future games.

The newest port for Jurl is in beta, let's welcome the Sinclair Spectrum to the family https://tonsomo.itch.io/jurl-sinclair-spectrum #RetroGaming #IndieDev #RetroDev

NEW: ZXVDU (experimental pre-release)

ZXVDU is a modern network-capable display server that emulates ZX Spectrum-style graphics capabilities.
https://github.com/ha1tch/zxvdu

Limited pre-release
https://github.com/ha1tch/zxvdu/releases/tag/zxvdu-0.1-pre

You should be able to draw things on the video display server connecting to port 55550 and sending text commands from any programming language.

Only Mac and Windows binaries available at this time, not sure how to build this for Linux. Help with Linux and RPi toolchains / builds is welcome.

I know, I know, lots of posts about Jurl. But it was time to test loading it up on actual hardware #indiedev #retrodev #RetroComputing

First attempt at Loading Jurl on an actual Speccy 48K #RetroComputing #IndieDev #RetroDev

All the enemy types are implemented, next is collisions and explosions, then level progression and lose and win states. I need to test it on real hardware, but on an emulated 48K spectrum it runs well https://youtu.be/is0Gwhx0RFU #RetroComputing #IndieDev #RetroDev

These tools are at different stages of development:

• zxtex <-NEW! 99% complete, may contain very minor bugs

  • converts sprites both ways between bmp,gif,png and a hexadecimal representation, using the ZX Spectrum palette
  • https://github.com/ha1tch/zxtex

• zxgotools - 95% complete, minor errors to be fixed.

  • maketap
  • loadtap
  • tzx2tap
  • totap (supersedes and unifies both maketap and bas2tap)
  • https://github.com/ha1tch/zxgotools

• plus3 - handles ZX Spectrum +3 dsk images. 85% implemented

  • plus3 create
  • plus3 add
  • plus3 extract (to .tap)
  • plus3 ls
  • plus3 rm
  • https://github.com/ha1tch/plus3

• zxa - a simple Z80 assembler for the ZX Spectrum. 70% implemented.

  • Z80N support implemented
  • Needing to complete:
  • instructions may be missing
  • macros would be nice
  • integration with zxgotools
  • https://github.com/ha1tch/zxa

All tools are cross-platform and binaries for all major platforms will be provided regularly.
