Re: werewolf for the zx81 16k

I also noticed that KEY is missing as well. I've tried to make a simple text input but there's no luck on this end. I don't know what they were thinking

Re: werewolf for the zx81 16k

I never understood the concept behind Forth and never will. It makes my head hurt just trying to program it. It doesn't even have a print function for text

werewolf for the zx81 16k

There are two games: An easy one then a harder one with random positions
there is no score, just a goal to kill the teens and win. I have not been able to win the second, can you?

Re: Eightyone emulator not recognizing cursor keys as joystick

Here is some Basic code that uses the cursors keys to move a character around the screen. The code has been tested and works on both the ZX81 (sz81, picozx81 & EightyOne) and Spectrum (EightyOne and FUSE). There are checks to ensure that the character stays within the screen bounds. I used zmakebas...

Re: Eightyone emulator not recognizing cursor keys as joystick

@Crayon21, in your original program, you are not actually using X to set the print position. You are using J and K. That's why the program appears to ignore the cursor keys. Mark I'll give this a go, thanks I can get left but it goes right when I hit the edge of the screen. is there a corrected rom?

Is it just my imagination or are X and Y flipped?

Every time I program a character to move, the screen for X and Y would normally map up to y along with down and left/right to X but on the spectrum (please lord let this be the only 8 bit with this issue) the Y is left/right and the X is up/down. I know my left from my right and up from down, so ple...

Re: Eightyone emulator not recognizing cursor keys as joystick

It does not work with arrow keys. Tried twice. maybe someone can fix that in an update? also, the spectrum maps the X coordinate and the Y coordinate as X=down, Y=across instead of Y down, X across which plays merry hell with any programs using these coordinates. In other words, moving UP causes me ...
