@Prodatron  Some smart coders whose nicknames start by 'T' have used the OUTI undocumented flag behaviour to great effect!
And in that case it's pretty useful to know that Carry is affected, because the original doc is wrong.

Regarding LDI: fun indeed, protection and maybe one optimisation use case in 20 years.

There is also Z80TEST.O which checks a lot of those behaviors.

Quote from: zhulien on Yesterday at 21:36I was looking through the Fighting Fantasy wiki and was surprised to see mention of 3 Fighting Fantasy games having been released on CPC.  Is that true?  Has anybody seen them in the wild?

Only two of them were released for the CPC - Seas of Blood and Rebel Planet. I have copies of both of these games, and they're very hard to obtain (and consequently quite expensive to buy when they do appear).

Temple of Terror was advertised but never released for the CPC.

As an aside, I also have a complete collection of Fighting Fantasy books, which I achieved in the mid to late 2000s. You'll be astonished how much some of the later books in the series sell for nowadays! :o

Programming / Re: My 2D platformer in BASIC
Last post by IndyUK - Yesterday at 19:53
Hi Folks,

Hope you're all doing well.

So, it's been quite a while since I last worked on my 2D platformer written entirely in BASIC. I had some time on my hands so thought why not pickup the project again. There is still plenty that's missing from it and so began to ponder over what I could tackle next. As I wanted to make the game a bit more challenging, I thought it might be a good idea to add moving platforms. I knew that if I can add these, then it would open the game up a bit more. So for the last ~2 months I have been working on adding moving platforms and have managed to get something working resonably well. Here's a video of what I managed to put together;


Remember, this is in BASIC running in WinApe using it's Turbo mode so, don't get too excited with the speed.

I have to say that it was quite tricky getting these working as there's so much more that you have to consider. I have begun work on adding platforms moving vertically as the next step, which would really open up the game.

Anyway, hope you like what I've done so far and hope to be back with a demo of vertical ones...oh and may be another screen or two.

See you all later.

Hi! I'm trying to load a dsk in a 464 using 256K Ram+2X Rom board and USIfAC II (6g). With all the RAM_ROM BOARD content in a USB I follow this steps:

- run"6128 (changes mode to USIfAC II Enhanced (6g) + 256Kb Ram + 2x Rom BOARD -> BASIC 2.1
- |mg,"TEST.DSK" -> Ready
- |FDC -> Ready
- cat -> And it throws Syntax error


Am I doing something wrong?
