My submission for the BASIC 10Liner competition is in. Can you do better? There's still lots of time to enter. I'm hoping to beat my previous result of "nearly last place". bunsen.itch.io/dec-man-sinc... #RetroComputing #RetroGameDev #ZXSpectrum

My work-in-progress pacman clone for the BASIC 10Liner competition now has a more aggressive ghost and terror-inducing sound. I'm pretty happy with this, considering the code is limited to 10 lines of 80 characters and BASIC on the ZX Spectrum is pretty verbose. #RetroComputing #RetroGameDev

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills

This is exactly what #retrogamedev would need, but with a selection of #retrocomputer s !

Would have to figure out how to automate cassette loading, tough 😅

A lot of #rpufos participants have inaccuracies with emulator development.
