@fuzzweed.co.uk Nice! Why optocoupled? I’ve got an unfinished side quest to do something “interesting” or at least a bit more elegant with my +3
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Thanks!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Gasman’s “ZX Spectrum sizecoding for beginners” at Lovebyte 2021 — SAM has a similar floating point calculator to the Spectrum that can be used for generating a sine lookup table. (The codes are different but the concept is the same).

@flatduckrecords.co.uk Heheh, wait until you see my size-coded boot sector 510-byte plasma demo. 😉
But if you like that, I can reccomended @crtartbooks.bsky.social for gorgeous pixel photography.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Thanks! I’m looking at how SAM “Mode 2” handles colour, this was just a quick test screen! It’s a lot like Hi-Colour mode on the Timex Speccies, but you can redefine the palette. I’m looking for a nice palette that “wraps around” for a plasma effect. The default (i.e. Speccy palette) is 😘👌 tho.

@sloanysoft.itch.io Presh does such impressive work.
@sloanysoft.itch.io Wow!
@jamhamster.bsky.social Hahah!
@jamhamster.bsky.social Ah yes, like Batman’s baterangs except they’re jamhammerangs! Look out, crime-doers! 🦇 🪃 🐹 🫙
@samcoupe.com It could be more structured, but at least it’s NOT (dire) 😜
@fuzzweed.co.uk Hahaha, I wont work with anything less than 6kw of vanity lighting. 😆 💅
@fuzzweed.co.uk Looking good though!

@nomenluni.ie Ooh thats good. 🤩
=======================FACTBOX: you can achieve similar by prodding the Spectrum’s innards with a paperclip!
(But probably only once). (Don’t @ me).
😬🙈✨
@nomenluni.ie Here’s a one-liner:
@nomenluni.ie Haha! Love it.
@nomenluni.ie Hahaha, d’oh! 🤣
