Re: The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!

Hi Folks, Not only 'pasteing' went wrong, skype was disabled and right-clicking would freeze the desk icons for some time etc. After much searching, the cause of the problems was in fact the corrupted 'windows update' file. In administrator mode, I was able to get windows to correct this file, and a...

Re: The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!

Hi Tofro,

After a lot of searching, it transpires that the 'coller' functions no longer work as they should : they slug the computer for minutes and do nothing....

The recursive program produces forked lightning, easier than doing arborescent arrays ! ---------------- Hi Tofro, It may be just pure coincidence that my PC is playing up. Two new things seem to go wrong : First I often lose all the icons on the main ...

Re: The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!

Hi Folks, Having some spare time, I decided to do a doodle, that in no time turned into a recursive game, developped on QPC2. After several hours of testing, BREAKing and reRUNing, the game was almost ready. Then IT happened : My PC started misbehaving, and I spent two days trying to track down the ...

Re: S/SuperBASIC Arrays

Turbo calls this using RUBBER Arrays.

Re: QL / PASCAL

Hi Norman,

Tofro has provided a perfectly functional Pascal INKEY$ routine.

Tomorrow I will locate it and pass it on, if Tofro doen't beat me to it !

Best Wishes,
Steve.

Many thanks too for the freeware status.

Steve.
