Amazing theme tune!

Cresta Cream Soda was the greatest thing I've ever drank! other legendary drinks for me were Quatro and Mango & Mandarin Lilt.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 8h

oh thank you.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 10h

Actually that code didn't print all of them, it missed the last one. I moved inx down under the cpx line and now it does!

Reading up on loops with C64 assembly. Managed to do one that lists the char set!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 2d

Kick assembler

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 3d

Wow, that's superb!!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 3d

Well.. I can now put my name on the screen and change the border colour in assembly. thrilling stuff huh? Hoping to have a sprite on screen by late 2029 😊

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 3d

Awesome collection but do you have The Great Space Race? 😊

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 3d

I'm so jealous, hope you have a great time!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 3d

"gives up"? the arsehole should be doing time.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 4d

Well.. I can change the colour of the border. (yes, I can hear you laughing from here) lol. I know, baby steps

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 4d

@pianofire.co.uk wanted to PM you but this pissing thing won't let me PM anyone unless I do a facescan or input my credit card. they can piss right off. I just hope you're okay mate, I am thinking about you.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 5d

I'm possibly doing the most stupid thing I've ever done.. I'm trying to learn C64 assembly. Hard enough for anyone, utterly impossible for a dumbarse like me, yet i'm trying.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 13d

Wow!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 14d

The Pyramid! what a brilliant game that is!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 19d

I loved that game and spent many happy hours in the editor making my own levels.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 19d

Never heard of it. ..perhaps that's a good thing. 🤔

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 23d

I guess some people take some perverted pleasure in being a mean and nasty git. Sorry that happened to you.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 24d

oh YES! I remember that and I felt the same, I bought that book off the image on the cover and it wasn't in. lol I was quite annoyed 😀

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 24d

I bought it! £5.50 I think it was. I always loved the cool effect when you got game over, with the vertical colour bars!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · Sep 14

Anyone using/used MPAGD - I have collectable blocks in my game, but how to stop them respawning when you've collected it and later return to the same room?

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · Sep 6

Working my way through the Boriel Basic book, got to page 171, 8x16 multicoloured font!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · Sep 6

I may do a short stream on twitch tonight to play my own Spectrum game. Hoping to get past level 9 so I can say I'm better at one game than @charliefar.bsky.social 😉

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · Sep 4

Tonight I'm continuing to go through my Boriel basic book via ZX Basic Studio. Will I learn anything? probably not but I can try!
