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

The less good news is that it isn’t accurate enough yet, so player 1’s ship jumps around a bit This is because I’ve used Elite’s own dot product code, which was designed for visibility checks, so only the sign bit is accurate I’m writing a double-precision version that I hope will fix this (4/6)

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)

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

I've also implemented fuel scooping, so those fuel scoops can finally be used for... well, scooping fuel, and not just cargo canisters. Don't leave home without them! (3/3)

Approaching the sun through a minor asteroid belt. I've always loved flying towards the sun in BBC Micro Elite, so it's good to see it on the Electron. That ball of flickering fire hanging in the blackness of space always has such a feeling of remoteness and grandeur. (2/3)

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

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 🤯

The videos show player 1 (top) in a Cobra Mk III and player 2 (bottom) in a Viper They demonstrate both ships independently flying past each other This clip shows the rear view working too Though it’s a bit hard to demo a two-player game when there’s only one of me! 😂 No lasers yet… (2/6)

#Elite on the #Acorn #Electron is slow - way slower than on the #Commodore64, for example. But how does the enhanced 16K SRAM version cope? Turns out enhanced Electron Elite is faster than the #C64! Sure, it can't compare on colour or music. But... result! 🚀 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcelite
