On Windows as well? This info is read from INF files, right? How do I add the attributes then? Doh! I've read-read that after a cuppa. ;) Yes, on a non-metadata host system it will read metadata from a .inf file, so just ensure the matching .inf file has an attributes field, eg: Hello FFFF1900 FFFF...

Question about creating ADFS images with MkImg.exe by JGH. Maybe even Jonathan will see this :D How do I set the access attributes (LWR) of individual files that I add to a new ADFS image? Set them on the source files. The attributes (and load address, exec address, file name) is that of the source...

How do I set the access attributes (LWR) of individual files that I add to a new ADFS image?

Thats looking really good now.
Nice animation on the enemies and nice busy looking screens.

Thank you!

Thanks derek! No, not at this point, sorry.

Progress update.
In theory I could create 16x16 rooms. These are some test rooms.
Enemies are now in, but can't harm you yet.
Animation is still smooth. Player (robot) at 50fps.

I would like to attend and also give a quick update on my current Elk/Beeb game

Cool! Are you good for the 9.30pm - 10pm slot?

Is there a shorter slot (max 15m) available at the beginning of the evening?

I'm thinking about a multi screen world with puzzles and secrets.

So, we're finally getting a port of WonderboyIII: The Dragons Trap!
Thats excellent news!

Yeah, about that...

The graphics are looking gorgeous - I can't wait to play this!

Thanks! It could be some time before anyone can play this

Elementum v1.00 is now released: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=20872 Just played it for the first time - AAAAAAAAAAGH! Got as far as level 3. It's very reminiscent of Tynesoft's Mouse Trap (http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=641), in that it may make me cry in frustration (I was...

After finishing monochrome Elementum, I wanted to create a game in MODE 5. I have no idea where this is going but I am drawing tiles, objects, enemies, etc. I'm thinking about a multi screen world with puzzles and secrets. Think Citadel. This is an impression of 6 such screens stitched together: wor...

Good stuff!

I did chuckle remembering all the write-ups back in the day saying how Exile uses every last byte of memory, and then finding 1.5k free on the Elk version, but for the BBC versions, quite true !

Does anybody know if there is any functional difference between the Elk and Beeb versions?

More like copious amounts of cheating!
Are you planning on adding 'cheat toggles'?

I'm sure it will be fine. We'll just have to finish the game (I never did) to make sure everything is okay

Did you check none of the random-ish data is ever read in the original game?

Great discovery and very useful addition!

Edit : do you mind if I tweet about it?

@Dave, yes please 15 minutes

I would like to join please

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Brutally difficult! But great idea

Congrats! I will check it out later and let you know. I will be specifically testing the Electron version of course

Thanks Tom!

Has anyone ever attempted to get Knight Lore working on the Acorn Electron?
Can the source code (original or disassembled) be found somewhere?
