#breakout

And now: The end boss!

"Gürth Dragönslayer" is a #BreakOut #game programmed in only one line of #BASIC for the #BBCMIcro and published in BBC ACORN USER, Nov. 1991, p. 168. After I managed to decrypt the crappy scan (with the help of the FB Acorn Group) I can run it in an emulator. Now it's up to understand the code!

First I have to find out which BBC-BASIC dialect provides a WAIT command. (Does anyone know?)

I decided to add another #BASIC #BreakOut clone to my close-reading analysis. This time for the #TI99. The #game named "Texas Breakout" from Des Farrell was published in "Personal Computer World" 10/1983.

The listing is a typewriter script; the editors say that they could not test it since they had noch TI99. So, the code contains some typical typwriter typos, questinable characters and a hard-to-distinguish "O" and "0".

For implementation and testing I used rtro.de/ti99-emu

I found a very subtile #error in Hartnell's #BASIC #Breakout version "Smashout"/"Pared" for the #ZXSpectrum:

The graphics for the brick wall are generated from a re-defined charakter ("A"). The defintion is stored as binary data in line 210.

There seems to be the first (leftmost) bit missing, so the Spectrum interpretes it as a "0" which leads to a set pixel in the character.

I edited the DATA BIN entry from 11100111 to 111100111 and the wall looks way better.
