The incomparable @negativecharge.bsky.social recently converted the Commodore 64 Elite music to the Electron. I've finally found time to add it to Electron Elite. Here's the docking computer in all its one-channel glory. Turn your sound on! #retrocomputing #retrogaming #electron #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)

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire! (In enhanced #Acorn #Electron #Elite, that is.) The speed isn't bad, considering the sun is probably the most screen-memory-intensive (i.e. slow) feature of #BBCMicro Elite. More clips in thread. (1/3) #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit

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

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 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)

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...

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact. Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡 #retrocomputing #retrogaming #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)

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

Scientists are raising funds on ResearchHub to test whether the Wim Hof Method is safe and potentially beneficial for cancer patients. So, we interviewed @Iceman_Hof himself. We asked him about breathwork, cold exposure, and what science still hasn't explained about his method.

This is where most people get it wrong. They stay busy, but nothing really moves. The problem isn’t the effort, it’s the direction. There’s a simple way to cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives results. #HedgehogPrinciple #InnovativeSmile #OrangeCarrotMedia
