Will this ever run on my Sinclair ZX Spectrum? #90

Please make this run on Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

brianhartung commented 7 years ago

I'll have it running on the TI99/4a just as soon as I can find the Extended BASIC cartridge.

@benaadams you need a 'port' label ;-) The more platforms, the merrier.

benaadams commented 7 years ago

Updated label; added some accompaniment labels

benaadams commented 7 years ago

While you are waiting you can look at 5,000 (thousand) ZX Spectrum tape inlays in 600dpi (70GB)

bleroy commented 7 years ago

@brianhartung I have one extra that you can borrow.

benaadams commented 7 years ago

Might only work on CoreRT; that works with only 32 KB RAM doesn't it?

bleroy commented 7 years ago

More like 12kB

benaadams commented 7 years ago

More like 12kB

There was only ever the ZX Spectrum 48K; everything else is fake news

benaadams commented 7 years ago

Though TI Logo on the TI 99/4A was my first programming language; so maybe that explains a few things...

bleroy commented 7 years ago

I was referring to the TI. But real programmers worked on ZX81 without a memory extension back then.

brianhartung commented 7 years ago

@bleroy I will never again in my career experience the same thrill as the day I got the cable for the TI that allowed me to save my code to a tape recorder. Spent the rest of the evening huddled over a tattered copy of Byte magazine keying in the printed source code for some game like a 13 year old boss. A watershed moment in my life. If it weren't for that I might be stripping or something. Probably or something.

bleroy commented 7 years ago

Oh wow, I need to find a way to get my early 80s games working in that.
