@mrtinb,

I was wondering - I've written a little routine to allow me to do some drawing on the screen; is there any way that I can use your memory dump program to SAVE the screen (the drawing)?

This is excellent news! Duely ordered

Hey all, One of my favourite pastimes is creating lo-res art on vintage computers; I am completely new to the 81 scene so I'm looking for advice on an art program, if such a thing exists? I'd be very interested to get into to ascii-art or similar on it and I realize that this may yet come down to sc...

greetings all, It's taken me a while to get here but I've finally got myself a ZX81. Back in the day from '83 I had an Acorn Electron, then a C64 in about '89 or '90, then the Amiga. Later on I got myself a Speccy 48k but I've always wanted to try the earlier machines... I love that aspect of the ea...
