In the left turquoise pane you see the clip data, in the right grey pane you see the player's functional code, and in the middle you see the output.

Just curious, what's that FastFind program running in the top right of your screenshot?

There appears to be more interest in indulging in nostalgia over 30 year old games than trying to create new stuff. I was never really into QL games, so it kinda washes over me. Well, each to his own. I'm fully with you Per. My contribution is a further updated QPlayer. Great stuff! This will proba...

everything was fantastic Yes, it was great! I was overwhelmed to see and hear folks which I've not seen for decades. Davide reminded me that we met at the 1991 Italian QL Meeting in Turin. That's 25 years ago. Amazing! During the webconference I've made a screenshot of the Cisco WebEx Application. ...

There's now fodder for the MIST. QL/E has been carefully tuned to run under the QL core of the MIST. Even the standard QL/E package includes the needed QL_BDI.bin file (the virtual drive container accessed as the SDC1 device) a special package has been put together which also includes everything nee...

There's another easy way, WINDOS_obj , an exe from Dilwyn Jones. Easy to use and already pre-installed on QL/E , ready to go. Only Limitation is - the same as with all other in-session solutions - that no open files are allowed on the media which you want to rename. With QL/E running you can rename ...

My guess: 123

OT: Highest serial numbers known to me are: D16-122793 SG18-010800 (probably I have seen 0189xx mentioned somewhere, but unconfirmed) S13-005854 Glad to see that I'm not the only one doing research on QL serial numbers and production figures. :-) SG18-0189xx is very, very unlikely, it may be a misr...

Do I recall reading somewhere that around 100,000 QL's were sold in UK in first year of production? Surely some of them would want a bit of downtime playing games. Depends of how you count and what you take as first year of production. The machine was launched on January 12th 1984, production at TH...

Once I finish the update of QTop-Clocks, you can take it and integrate it into Black Phoenix.
