Hi,

I'm quite new to ZX Basic, and just had a few questions:

Is the replacement for the Sinclair BASIC ATTR command attrAdress(x,y)?

Are there any linked sprite libraries that let you use Sprites (larger than 8*8) from BASIC? I did look at the Spanish Fourspriter tutorial, but Google translate is not great with technical translations. Is there an English Language tutorial, and are there any other libraries, without the need to use Assembler?

Thanks

Hello,

this is my 1st post! Total newbie.

I just typed in the 1st program in the book "ZX Spectrum Games Code Club: Twenty fun games to code and learn" by Gary Plowman (from Amazon),
but when I attempt a "zxb ex1.bas" , it throws up a couple of errors.
I've checked the code and it appears valid. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

(I've attached the .bas file)

Regards

Hi guys.

I was kinda bored this weekend (being at work and such), so i was making this little thing.
It's no good game by any means, but i had fun coding it and thats what matters to me ^_^
It's called Lamega, as in Lame Galaga ^_^

Hi
I'm new here, so excuse me if anyone asked this before. I tryed to search for it but didnt find anything.

So i'm playing with ZX basic for last week or so and i was doing some of my usual tests.
In one of them i was trying to print out a block of characters with random ink and color. And because making a loop that will print it character by character is rather slow, i tryed to be clever. It didn't work ^_^

So my problem:

i wanted to make a string variable with control codes that i would print out. And sure enough if i do

p$="\{i5}X"
print p$

it work just fine.


Problem is when i want to put some randomness to it and do something like

i$=str(int(rnd*7))
p$="\{i"+i$+"}X"
print p$

it outputs

\{i2}X

instead of colored X. In my mind, it should work...
Am i doing something wrong?

Also, implementing AT as \{ax,y} like it works in BASin would be nice ^_^

Thanks for your help
