Commander X16

I ended up writing a banked RAM heap manager for the Unicode library I'm working on (<a href="https://github.com/theelkmechanic/unilib" rel="external nofollow">https://github.com/theelkmechanic/unilib</a>) for those same reasons. Once you start dealing with dynamic/unpredictable memory needs, it re...

I like the idea of 80x30 as the default, although the squished 80x60 letters remind me of my early career writing DataFlex code in Brief. (80x30 looks even better using an 8x16 font, like in a certain Z-machine that shall remain nameless. ?)

When's the ZX-Spectrum version coming out?

Finally updated after a long absence to work with the new r39 emulator/ROM. Kudos to <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/149-elektron72/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="149" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/149-elektron72/...

Finally got around to figuring out what broke file loading on r38. I think it was something in the new CBDOS implementation. To get it to work, I have to pass in $60 to SETLFS for the secondary address, otherwise the OPEN and CHKIN calls will succeed but the first CHRIN will fail. I can't just use ...

Revamped the character glyph mapping so I can have a lot more characters. Font is now in a separate file. Fixed a couple other bugs as well.

And Zork will work even better now that the random number generator works. (Previously, fighting the troll tended to blow the game up.)

Fixed some annoying bugs, so version 3 games like Zork seem to work pretty well. Added a file chooser so you can actually select the game file you want to load now.
