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....
'Coller' works with neither right-clicking, nor CTRL-C & CTRL-V keyings. Looks like the PC needs replacing....

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

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
Hi Qbits,
If you DIMension an array as, say, DIM T(1,2,3) in TURBO you need to clear it with DIM T(0) before redimensioning it...
Turbo calls this using RUBBER Arrays.
