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)

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)

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

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.

#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

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)

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

The first speed-up is to move speed-critical code into sideways RAM. Main memory on the Electron is shared with screen memory so it can only be accessed at 1MHz, but SRAM can be accessed at 2MHz, so this can really help. You can see the speed increase here: original on left, SRAM on right. (2/4)

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

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

Rep. Analilia Mejia: "The erosion of voting rights is coupled with a rigged economy, because the way the prevent the rules from coming for them, the way they can keep the grift going, is ensuring we do not have a political voice to stop them. That's the game."

Posted roughly 1 day ago by @harryjsisson.bsky.social "harryjsisson: Just not a great day" TBH, I don't know anything about Massie; however, it's interesting to hear Mr. Sisson's take on his defeat. They stood apart, but he supported that Massie fought for releasing the unredacted #EpsteinFiles

Why hasn't Labour just replaced the Lords with a 2nd chamber elected by PR? Instead we have more 30 more peers nominated by Labour, Conservative and Lib Dems. A PR elected chamber would have over fifty green members based upon the 2024 election result

For Trump, America 250 isn’t about America. It’s about him. And now that it’s hitting the skids the fact that we’ve survived for 250 years as a democracy will get no recognition at all. Donald Trump and his ego destroy everything they touch.
