I'm so slow that I can barely play it, but it is another astonishing piece of art under many aspects: programming, originality, look and feel (the top corners showing the score are so cute).. also the fact that you stay in the good old standard text mode (probably not interfering with the standard ROM life) is nice.
You're really becoming my new idol as it was Matthew Smith many years ago...
I don't know exactly how it happens but I discovered that this kind of training still become useful with the modern technologies, so keep on the good work

Finally got round to sorting out some real hardware to play this on very sad state of affairs when you aint got an emulator ready go go, nor can find the time to sort it...i digress
BOB's what a little Gem, i don't know how you pull it off, it plays better than i was expecting for only 10Fps, and hard, well i think it is anyway

what's that Smell.... smells like fresh flux and solder fumes...
Re: ZXagon - New 16K ZX81 Game
Thanks Andy - yes, I think it appears smoother than 10 fps, but it took an age even to get to that frame-rate, due to the various 'features' of the Zeddy.
Yes Stefano, I enjoy the 'native' text-mode display as well, and you get far more processor time and memory that way too.
