Looks amazing!
I never used the beeb past some BASIC programming lessons in school, and I think the only game I played on it was Chuckie Egg. It's a great machine though and a potentially brilliant gaming platform, so it's good to see it being used to showcase some abilities.

Re: A port of ChibiAkumas to Elektronika MS-0511
I'm sure Keith will be thrilled that you've targeted his game to convert as I can imagine that it's a big honour, and having the original programmer on hand will be a huge boon to your own development. I look forward to seeing updates on this conversion, because it will be great for comparisons and ...

Re: Code check - Jump routine for a player
That's good to know as I'm rewriting my code to make the player move and jump around by increments of 3 instead of 1, so using ADD, SUB, and now SBC will be really handy.
I guess I'm not as familiar with the wider instruction set as I'd like to be (or should be).
Thanks again!

Re: Code check - Jump routine for a player
Thanks for the reply Keith, you actually helped me solve the issue because my brain was so fried I didn't think about the debugger, so thanks for reminding me. Just to say - I'm using the 8 bit registers in the down loop because SUB only works with them (as far as I know) and I couldn't do a SUB hl,...

Code check - Jump routine for a player
Thing have progressed and my player's move set is pretty much complete. I just have to make him jump up and down, which in theory is straightforward, but as always stuff doesn't work (the sprite goes all over the screen then crashes). I did a routine for a jumping code which to my eyes should work. ...

Welcome to the forum. I'm new here myself, but so far it's the best place I've found for learning about programming.

Brilliant! Cheers Keith.
It's so great having a teacher on hand to clarify these things.

68k asm tilemap data to Z80
Don't want to spam the forum with a wave of questions every day, but I'm about to tackle what I've been putting off for ages and that is getting some sort of background onto my game in the form of tiles and tilemaps. I'm just starting with a one screen area, and I'll figure out scrolling and hidden ...

Re: Another noob on the pile!
Thanks for the warm welcome Keith. Assembly of any kind has always been a bucket list thing for me. Doing stuff in Game Maker or modern languages that "looked" like it was from back in the day was fun, but it always felt like cheating. Overcoming the limitations of the hardware like all th...

Re: Using the 'ds' directive to make value containers
Excellent, thanks for the replies chaps!
That really helps me out knowing how to throw values around with labels, and the debugger isn't going crazy reading different labels for different things now.
