Some good QL demos are required - but if you want to use dual screens, Minerva is certainly a help on that score, as you can access the QL's main screen (located at $20000 - or 131072) as ...

Re: My game development thread
For anyone looking to convert BMP to QL screen format, I have just been looking at this myself. Whilst the QL Graphics Convertor (which we used for QWord) and the bmp2pic program by Phoebus Dokos work for 24 bit BMP files, they fail on converting them to MODE 8 pictures The QL Graphics Convertor was...

Re: Why was the QL never successful?
I agree with the above comments, although at the time, when you look at the cost of 5.25" disk drives (or better, 3.5" disk drives), they alone would have added £100s to the price of the QL. Add more memory and that was also a big stumbling block. WIMP systems were not actually around whe...
