Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

I have blown-up the screenshots from QPC and SQLux and this is what I found: 1 - the title is not shifted - in both emulators is 7 rows from the top 2 - the BACKGROUND is shifted!!! 3. The same issue is in QEmulator (like in SQLux!) The Paper color is defined as PAPER colour, contrast, stipple - in ...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

isnt that just because you dont have a 1:1 scaling? I also had the same thought at first, but that would be quite a coincidence. I mean, in QSTAR code first i create a window with paper set to 5,4,3 (green and cyan checkerboard stipple) and then I load the title and place it on screen using LBytes....

Re: QSTAR 1

Really nice game, Andrei, and nicely polished presentation! I did know it as a demo program ("D-Star") for the ZX Spectrum that is part if the SDCC C Compiler, but yours has much nicer animation, fonts and color. Couldn't find much of a flaw in it except maybe that the animation delay you...

QSTAR 1

- TESTERS NEEDED - The game is in Beta- version, so I need some testers. I could not find any errors, and that is strange :) The game should work on any QL and only needs Toolkit2 ORIGIN =============== The oldest version of this game that I was able to find is one written by HpDUSS for the HP-48 ca...

Re: Sandy CP/Mulator

Was there ever a manual for the Sandy CP/Mulator? I have a ROM cartridge, a microdrive cartridge and disk, but no manual... I have the manual. I attached a scan. I also have a Basic-80 MBASIC Reference manual - I do not know if it was part of the CP/Mulator kit or an add-on from the previous owner ...

Re: QL Cartridges lot on Ebay

I may have a copy of Anelpum Quat - it rings a bell. Something like exploring a submarine, using the QL character set graphics? Or am I thinking of something else. I think I also have a copy of McSporran's lament, I'm sure. Both from CGH Services iirc. I'll have a rummage in my disk collection. Ple...
