Enhanced #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron now has proper docking computers. Good to see they're as nail-bitingly dodgy as all the other versions! Next on the list is to add 21 additional ship designs with spawning and tactic logic. That might take a while... #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro

Not sure if this animated GIF will look any good on here, but the latest batch of articles talks about how the 3D objects are drawn, such as the Sentinel example here. It's pretty interesting when it's slowed down...

Here’s an example - the iconic box art from the BBC Micro version, brought to life in-game. And there’s a Commodore 64 version too. You can even swap files between the two, so you can create a scene on a Beeb, save it and play it on a C64. I really enjoyed building this one, I have to say!

Overall the speed improvements aren’t too bad. They don’t quite reach the speed of the #BBCMicro shown here, as screen memory and zero page are still accessed at 1MHz, so there's a limit to what's possible. But hopefully it’s enough to support Thargoids, suns, planetary details and more! (4/4)

The enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite continues to grow. I've now added the ship hangar, which gets shown when you dock. This feature was only in the BBC and NES versions, and not the Commodore 64 or Apple II, so that's a one-up for the Elk. 🫡 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit

Enhanced #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron now has 31 different ship types (compared to just 11 in the original). Here's a little clip showing an encounter with a Krait and a Mamba on the way to the sun. Coming soon... Thargoids! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #8bit

Player 1’s scanner view is in cyan, player 2’s scanner view is in yellow. Players will be able to choose different ships and loadouts The good news is that this proof-of-concept confirms that the geometry behind two-player Elite is sound That’s the tricky part, so this is a relief! (3/6)

Two-player #BBCMicro #Elite is coming along nicely. It now supports two pilots in two ships with two controllers and a split-view screen Here are some work-in-progress videos - see the thread for an explanation There’s lots to fix, but at least we have a proof-of-concept… (1/6) #retrocomputing

It's #Thargoids Thursday in the enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite. Here's me misjumping into witchspace and being ambushed by Thargoid motherships and their Thargon drones. Electron commanders can now join in the bug-hunt - at last! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #8bit

This is pretty cool. It's a visualisation of the internals of The Sentinel on the #BBCMicro. This is it generating the game landscape for the first level from 256 pseudo-random numbers. Next week I'll be releasing a deep dive into exactly how this works. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #c64 #8bit

Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic on Scottie Barnes: “I expect more from Scottie. The way he's playing, he's at 60% of a player that he's gonna be in 2-3 years. Scottie's gonna be one of the best players in the league, and he's already one of the best players in the league.”

Donald Trump should listen to survivors, release all remaining Epstein documents, and investigate every remaining enabler tied to Epstein’s abuse network.

A C-SPAN caller identifies himself as "John Barron" (Trump's known past pseudonym), ranting against the Supreme Court's 6-3 tariff ruling and calling Hakeem Jeffries "a dope." It was probably not Trump, but the fact that we can’t completely rule it out says a lot.
