@fuzzweed.co.uk Awesome! 💃
@colinhoad.com “No” doesn’t make line go up. 🤷♂️ 😩
@fuzzweed.co.uk Haha, ASM in a nutshell. 😂
@fuzzweed.co.uk Oh, yikes. 😅
@fuzzweed.co.uk Sorry, hard to fit in one toot! I mean to say thats the only approach I’ve seen. Are you trying to preserve the stack, or examine the contents, or something else?
@fuzzweed.co.uk Hmm! For a given system you can assume which page/section of memory it’s in. Stash it somewhere safe, do your own stack elsewhere and restore after you’re done, but don’t bother to examine it. If you are preserving it to return to the OS, there are probably sys vars to worry about too, anyway, etc.
@jimblimey.com “Yrrrrvv RRRRRRRRRsd thrrrrrt rrrrrp!” 🧟♂️
@samcoupe.com I think it’s using a loop to adjust the stereo position, and the envelope is chopping the noise into separate “chuffs” (so to speak!)
@samcoupe.com Tonight’s homework: get my head around how to use the envelope controllers (i.e. understand how that steam train sound is made!)
@mattround.com I’m sure I will! I’ve heard the Spectrum forum nerds might be partial to a type-in or two so I’ve mentioned it over there as well.
@mattround.com I’ve been looking forward to this! I’ve bought one for me, and one as a chrimbo pressie for my pal. Such a great idea, well done.
@sil.kryogenix.org Ace, me too!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Adapted from the SAM Coupé user manual. It’s actually a demonstration of SAM BASIC’s SOUND command, but we can replicate that in Sinclair BASIC with a couple of OUTs to tweak the appropriate address and data ports for the SAA1099P sound device.
@pantosplaining.bsky.social Looks like they stock some fine records in there too. My favourite label in the 90s!
@james.pixelrefresh.com Gorgeous. I think I had a shell suit in those exact colours!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Well done Mumweed! Stylish AND practical. And at the very least you’ll always know where your towel is. 🖖
@fuzzweed.co.uk 0x33 🎉
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Having got my start in Z80 assembly with modern cross-assemblers (i.e. being spoilt!) it felt a bit unwieldy going “back” to native tools, but more recently I’ve been having fun on the Speccy with Zeus and HiSoft GENS. I haven’t used Comet for anything substantial yet but I like it!
@mattround.com Field programmable? Neigh bother.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Yep, you can redirect the UARTs to the joystick ports.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Enabling the expansion bus on the Next locks the CPU at 3.5MHz I’m afraid! It “might change in the future” but I’m not sure if that means KS3.
