Has anyone else seen this bug in the game? Playing on a real Beeb, the initial high score shows as 81AA280.

This is a great game! A bit slow compared to the original but still great fun to play. It's a shame it was never commercially released BITD.

Best so far: 387,050

I've never looked into it. I managed to add Cameron, so either people left the organisation on GitHub or the limit was increased. It looks like open source organisations allow unlimited membership: https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/about-organizations

This is great! If you can get an up to date build working on Mac, and if you're interested in doing more, we could perhaps think about unifying the Mac and Windows versions of BeebEm, possibly also the Linux version too. I'm maintaining and improving the Windows version, so I've been starting to thi...

Not quite at the level others have managed, but here's my best so far... 77,450

It's still the same, rendering is scanline based, so it's not cycle accurate. I've been making other improvements to the emulator, but so far haven't had the time to study the CRTC timings. I wonder if it's possible to adapt the existing video code, or may be better to start from scratch.

Getting better... 47,090

I'll put the code on GitHub soon so anyone can review and make additions. Not really my idea to make yet another fork of BeebEm, but for now it seems like the best option. Sometime in the future it could/should be integrated in a master branch of BeebEm. Did you publish the code on GitHub? I'd be i...

Using 4.14 and prolly need to download the latest release *. members have been working on recently. I don't think we've done anything to change keyboard handling in the 4.15 beta series, but I can investigate for a future release. A new high score, now that I've figured out how to get past stage 4....

If I try to write to a tape file it throws up a write error

Thanks for reporting this! There was a bug in the uef code caused by updating zlib, now fixed.

Yes! Another of Tricky's amazing arcade conversions.

Here's a first attempt... 19,440

I just found a couple of errors:

Page 400, paragraph 3: "reading" should have a capital R
Page 308, line 270: LDX &16 should be LDX #16 (to read the lightpen register)

Brilliant work, btw .. this and all the other remastered books you've done!

How about adding support for SWIFT format labels files to be loaded and displayed like the OS ones? I have added this in the latest BeebEm release, 4.15 beta 5. You can use the -DebugLabels <filename> command line option to load a labels file into the debugger. Note that only SWIFT format is suppor...

I have just posted BeebEm 4.15 beta 5 release to GitHub. https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/releases/tag/4.15b5 This has a few fixes and new features, with contributions from KenLowe and dominicbeesley: Improved Computech IntegraB startup defaults, and correct the current year calculation. Al...

Is it Demolator...?

I'm not doing very well with this one. At best I can complete one, maybe two levels. Some of the level designs are quite nice, but a few too many bugs in the gameplay make this frustrating to play.

Best so far: 1271

It's on Ian Bell's Elite website here:

My model B has:

Tube (External) - PiTubeDirect copro
1Mhz Bus - Music 5000 + Music 2000
User Port - Music 4000 (was Smart SPI SD card adapter before I got the Gotek)
Disc Drive Port - Gotek floppy emulator
Analogue Port - Joystick (occasionally)

Please sign me up for a full table, the whole weekend. Thanks!

The position is quite likely to change between versions. The UEF structure isn't difficult to parse, it's sequence of chunks, where each chunk has a 16-bit chunk type identifier, followed by a 32-bit block length, then length number of bytes. The chunk number used in BeebEm for the RAM contents is 0...

I can report another successful build of the Atom RGB to HDMI board. It worked first time \:D/ I found a few minor issues with the documentation: In the BOM, the link for the 1x2 pin straight female 0.1" header is wrong, it should be https://uk.farnell.com/samtec/ssw-102-01-g-s/receptacle-2-54mm-sin...

Hi Gavin, good to meet you at ABUG, glad you're enjoying the Atom, they're great machines :D +1 to the suggestion of getting a ROM/RAM board and noise killer. I'm just now ordering parts to make up a noise killer board as well an RGB to HDMI adapter. Because of minimum order quantities, I'll probabl...

I seem to be playing a slightly different colour version to you all (from tricky's Gotek menu). I'll download the ssd from this thread for next time.

Some improvement to my score ... 52,500

Looks like I have some catching up to do ... 28,600

This game is just so much fun! I was on a roll here... 57,315

Yes, there's definitely a rhythm to this game. At the start of the later levels don't be tempted to move upwards, as the centipede descends really quickly.

Just got my highest ever score... 44,340

Getting better... 35,056

PS I just noticed that I nearly made it to my score from when we set the hi-scores for the game

I just managed to beat my previous high score ... 28,544

A nice touch to include some of our names in the high score table from the last time we played.

Here's my starter score, hope to improve on this a bit... 16,206

A bit further again .... 5780
