I have added flicker-free planets to the #Apple II version of #Elite. Flicker-free on the left, original version on the right. That's every 6502 version done now. No-one left behind! Info and downloads: elite.bbcelite.com/hacks/flicke... #bbcmicro #c64 #apple2 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #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)

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

Latest features in enhanced #Acorn #Electron #Elite: * Proper disk access menu * Military lasers * Extended system descriptions (edible poets!) * System search * Planetary details (meridians/equators and craters) * Fast, flicker-free graphics Looking good! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro

The second speed-up is to replace the loop-based multiplication and division routines of the original with the log-based routines from the #C64 and 6502 co-pro versions. You can see the speed increase here: loop normal routines on left, log-based routines on right. (3/4)

I've managed to build the recently released source code for Elite II on the BBC Micro. It does... something! Though I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Still, here it is: Elite II from 1985. I think they're in trouble, whoever they are... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit #elite #bbcmicro

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

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

Bonus video: someone asked me to show the two ships looking at each other in a spaghetti-western style. Here you go: Cobra vs Viper, head-on. It doesn't end well.

This is my first time using a memory heatmap to analyse #BBCMicro code Here's The Sentinel calculating landscape visibility (b-em emulator) Look: ray-casting radar patterns matching the landscape layout, right there in memory! The algorithm revealed! I love this #retrocomputing meta-level stuff 🤯
