Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

As I'm doing assembly as well as C then I may be able to do a highlights screen, but this will be a nice-to-have feature as I'm not anywhere near an advanced coder. I just simply make things happen inside the TV screen.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Hi Moggy (and for anyone else who may be passing),

Here's another pre-release for testing: https://github.com/sbebbers/sunday-leag ... tag/1.0.0b

So far, all of the pre-season game logic is in as follows:

Enter manager name;
Enter team name;
Sign players (only goal keepers so far, need to add in the logic for out field players);
View current squad;
Call training sessions;
Purchase kit;
Purchase mini-bus; and
Arrange ground.

Options are conditional, i.e., you may only purchase your kit once, and may only buy one mini-bus or have one home ground etc... All pretty logical I think you'll agree.

Feedback welcome.

Shaun.

Downloaded, will try tonight.

Yup works on real zeddy and is nice and quick between menu choices (only discrepancy is the £250 difference in starting money and what the instructions say).

I'm liking the difference between this and pro league management sims IE worrying about buying a team bus and how much kit washing will cost etc, nice one.

Looking good so far Shaun.

Thanks Moggy; I've re-thought a way to do the signing players bit to save ~4 bytes (yes, it will count) and I think the instructions will have to go to save >4 bytes. This should encourage people to RTFM anyway, which nobody ever does.

The next pre-release will include buying all out-field players which will then lead into playing two or three friendlies to up player ratings and build the team more all ready for the big time of Sunday League footy!

Regards,

Shaun.

Here's another pre-release.

Some refactoring is done, and now all of the pre-season logic is there.

I know there are guys who like these kind of games, but I have absolutely nothing with it.
Keep up the work for them.

Football Management is certainly a niche for sure, and hopefully, for this genre, I'll do a reasonable enough job of it.

I guess ZX80 4K ROM is making things even less popular. Therefore, I'm making this for myself, but I'm really happy that at least three people now have had something good to say about it. This is more than the feedback I used to get when I was writing a weekly column for a national computing magazine, and you would assume there were more people buying and reading said magazine than ZX80 4K ROM enthusiasts.

Regards,

Shaun.
