Doing a bit more experimenting with ZX81 #Forth multitasking on #Minstrel4th. Combined several example programs from user manual to make a real-time clock. A must-have for a personal computer in 2025! #retrogaming

Another level in the bag - looks easier than it is!
Trying to address the difficulty progression - which actually has the DUCK introduced earlier than level 9!
Level:
1 - Easy, a few hens
2 - Harder, a few hens
3 - Easy, DUCK only
4 - Harder, hens and lift
5 - Hard, hens
6 - Hard, DUCK only
etc...

Some more "trying things out" 😀 The dev environment now has stars and the scan screen shows the locations of things. Plan is to get some of the gameplay elements tested out and then start porting the code over to 6502.

Progress bar now handles disc loading too.

More messing with the tape loader !
Many thanks to @0xc0de.bsky.social 's recent Repton 1 loader disassembly, I've put in a (non-Microsoft) progress bar !
It's nice to have the tape blocks counting up, but if you don't know what number they go up to, one could get quite impatient ! 😅

Keyboard looking a lot better - probably needs one more going over. A lot of rust spots / pitting on the black metal frame, I guess someone threw a can of Quattro over it at some point !
New speaker lead in place !
