Re: Block save / load
This is an interesting thread.

The poem for retrocomputing enthusiasts
In the land of the binary, long ago, Where circuits glowed and screens were slow, A new age of computing had begun, Machines on desks, small but fun.

Re: Personal challenge: Writing a text adventure in 1k for the zx80
The ZX80 vars are more compact and not very much free space to be used in basic start. Anyway in the kit there is the best solution I've found (if there are better I'm all ears :) ), surely more than enough for a loader program. And to be clear: the basic is to start, the rest should be machine code...
