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 🤯

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)

#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

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)

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)

Overall the speed improvements aren’t too bad. They don’t quite reach the speed of the #BBCMicro shown here, as screen memory and zero page are still accessed at 1MHz, so there's a limit to what's possible. But hopefully it’s enough to support Thargoids, suns, planetary details and more! (4/4)

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

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

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 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

$13,000,000 for what’s going to end up being a bright green swamp. Way to go, Donald Trump. And of course, no explanation for the cost overrun.

Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic on Scottie Barnes: “I expect more from Scottie. The way he's playing, he's at 60% of a player that he's gonna be in 2-3 years. Scottie's gonna be one of the best players in the league, and he's already one of the best players in the league.”

Well, that isn't the word I would’ve used. But then I don’t own the Trump-to-English dictionary. A large faction of Americans is in an abusive relationship, and they don’t seem to care that they are.😢

Donald Trump’s weakness is emboldening Putin. He’s turning his back on our allies, isolating America, and making Americans less safe.

I wish she would just be honest and admit that she wants to date sugar daddies for the rest of her life. I would respect her more for that instead of playing it off like “I am so ready to be financially independent.” It’s so obvious she really doesn’t want to do that, and that’s fine. But own it!!!

What about China? A line that gets wheeled out during any discussion on climate change. It has a unique dual position. Biggest emitter. But arguably also the biggest leader and positive example. Fascinating new episode on COP30 and Climate Politics out now. 🎧⬇️ bit.ly/PP/COP30_climate_politics

Trump and I both went to Wharton, but unlike him I went to class. Soaring costs are a direct result of Trump’s economically illiterate policies: tariffs, killing clean energy, and slashing Medicaid/ACA to fund billionaire tax breaks. Working families are paying the price.
