Here's the slides from my talk: https://slides.com/dpt/the-great-escape-42cbed/

D.

Thanks for a great talk!

I finally got my hands on a Plus3!

What do I need to check inside the Plus3 and/or the power brick before firing her up? (caps, disk drive head or belt, etc)

Excellent work and wonderful that you were finally able to finish this to your liking!

Congrats! Master 128 is always good ( I have two ). OS selector is pretty handy especially for compatibility with games. What is that thing between the main PCB and the power supply?

Do you know if the PSU is recapped?

Veeeeeery tempting......

Awesome release!!
I remember you were trying to fix a bug at abug (how appropriate!) in one of the interlaced effects at the beginning of this year.

I believe he died back in March of this year though

Oh, this is very useful! Already found a few crappy games on the Acorn Electron that I have to try. Thanks!

If you want to inspect the source code yourself: https://github.com/kieranhj/elite-beebasm

I haven't inspected the source code but I'm pretty sure they use different variants of the Bresenham line drawing algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham ... _algorithm

You'll need a BBC Master to run most of the recent demos! Also, in around a week's time there'll be another one to add to the list... assuming I don't collapse from lack of sleep before Saturday! Good luck and I'm looking forward to another great release! (the bar will be higher every time :shock: )

Me please!

I dispute this claim.

Could you try this one as well?

I just checked. I had my BeebEm in Master 128 mode. Then PAGE is &E00. If you are using BBC B mode then PAGE is &1900.
If your data file is at &1400 that may very well overwrite crucial DFS workspace. Why not load the data file elsewhere?

How are you reserving space for that data file and your assembly code? Either of them may be overwriting your BASIC program?

Edit: PAGE should be &E00 (but you can check easily).

This is SOOO MUCH work but rest assured it's highly appreciated, Dave!! =D> =D> =D> =D> Hear, hear. Indeed, I watched your one last night (as I missed it on the day) and I am seriously impressed with what you were able to convince that wee machine to do! So much so, I checked in a change to Matrix ...

Really interesting Roland!!

This is SOOO MUCH work but rest assured it's highly appreciated, Dave!!

Many thanks for taking the time to post these. I haven't been able to attend any of the virtual meetups so far, and the videos are hugely useful. Dominic's PCB advice and 0xCODE's demo coding talk were particularly interesting. That's very nice to hear, Gary, thank you! :mrgreen: (there would be no...

P.S. Electron Demos and Mountain Panic videos now on the ABug website .

Excellent! I just watched myself; that's an odd experience to say the least haha. But I'm glad I could give something back to this great community.

Thanks again to all speakers/presenters, hosts and participants. It was another thoroughly enjoyable day. I've spent the day editing videos, only three down so far (DanielJ/Preservation, dp11/PCB Design, daveejhitchins/life story!) but they're now available to view . I'll hopefully have 0xC0DE's ta...

Yes, but the other way around: ASL low: ROL high
You want the bits shifted out from the low byte to be shifted into the high byte.

You're right but be careful those 2 loops are not the same. You are skipping the Y==0 case, and including the Y==160 case.

I could be wrong , but I've moved the DEY so I think I have corrected for that ?

You are right of course!!

I'm already following you as you know
Keep going, I'll be following your progress with great interest

Thank you, you are a source of inspiration with all the great/original stuff you code for the Elk.

Thanks mate! We need more Elk coders!!

Edit: disregard anything I said here

A huge thanks to all organisers, participants and presenters for creating another very interesting and enjoyable virtual ABUG meeting yesterday!!
It was especially great to see the Electron in the spotlight and I enjoyed being able to contribute to that myself.

Many thanks 0xC0DE ...that was incredibly FAST! I would love to know how u did it? Can u point me to any link?

Edited my previous post

Here you go mate

Edit: there are many ways to do this. My method this time: start Beebem. File | Disc Options | New Disc. Copy contents of txt file (on clipboard). Paste into Beebem (Edit | Paste). SAVE "CHEAT". File | Disc Options | Eject Disc.

@Arcadian: could you please add this info to the top post?

Think Dave might have missed that - I've had a stab at putting it in the top post but might need some tweaking!

Thanks Richard!
