I never did get the chance to refactor but then again there is always the 2014 CSSCGC to look forward to!Bebbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388876765701352687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240048008455474711.post-9563695369658618692013-02-10T06:35:52.080+08:002013-02-10T06:35:52.080+08:00Thanks for the comments, here and elsewhere.

This time, I'll use my 16K Speccy to refactor it and then do the same process of getting it onto the PC :-)Bebbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388876765701352687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240048008455474711.post-92038004073982699712013-02-10T06:26:16.201+08:002013-02-10T06:26:16.201+08:00Perfect!Perfect!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441523423611894350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240048008455474711.post-54133922547184156082013-02-10T05:43:50.859+08:002013-02-10T05:43:50.859+08:00Well, I had a brief attempt with OmniPage 4.0.

It took about an hour to write on the Spectrum and about 20 minutes to test it, and then about 20 minutes to type in to BASin, and about another 20 minutes to test it.<br /><br />For those of you who remember those Osbourne books from the 1980s (with the pictures of the robots), Mega-Ski is based on a listing from them, but 'fixed' for the Speccy with an equivalent to the PRINT SPC(x) command.<br /><br />For fun, make the keys for left and right 'y' and 'n' and allow the Scroll? message to appear at the bottom of the screen. Also, there is a small bug in the game - find it and fix it.Bebbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388876765701352687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240048008455474711.post-17982469770594015532013-02-09T19:33:49.403+08:002013-02-09T19:33:49.403+08:00I've also realised I must have done something ...I've also realised I must have done something wrong.
