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

Today's addition to #Acorn #Electron #Elite is the energy bomb animation from the Apple II, BBC Master and NES. In the original Electron version, the energy bomb did little more than beep gently. Now it rages with lightning bolts! That's much better. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit #bbcmicro

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)

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)

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

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

#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

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!

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)

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

Malcolm Offord, the leader of Reform UK in Scotland, has recently criticised the minimum wage rise. We asked people in Glasgow for their thoughts.

The cost of living has risen 26% since 2020. And the cost of food, childcare and electricity has outpaced even that. Talking about the Affordability Crisis w/ @crampell.bsky.social on The Weekend Primetime @ms.now It could be a big political problem for the GOP #inflation #midterms #affordability

There are a million better reasons to loathe Kristi Noem, but I'm petty enough to add the insertion of the term "bimbofication" into my mental lexicon. (The fetish itself neither arouses or repulses me, TBH.) But damn, you don't have to kink shame to find the heterosexual lifestyle freaky AF.
