IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:
I visited this fascinating Museum of Games and Computers in Wroclaw yesterday. Computer games are not my thing; I build/fix/code, however I found the displays excellent and a trip down memory lane. I even played Pac-Man on a C64! Now if they had a working Sinclair ZX80 and I could play mutant camels off cassette, I would have been even more impressed. They even had removable disks for mini/mainframe computers!
Publicado recientemente otro videojuego para los Sinclair ZX Spectrum de 48 y 128K: "Painter Man!!", desarrollado por el equipo de io.rrwm
Ahora no dejará de sonar en mi cabeza la canción de los Boney M...
"Bienvenidos a la increíble aventura de pintar castillos durante el fin de semana. ¡Les presentamos al famoso tío de Robby, Banky Van Daime, el pintor!
Armado solo con un cubo de pintura y una brocha de cerdas puras de quince centímetros, Banky Van Daime se propone aprovechar al máximo el Día de la Independencia para pintar su exquisito castillo. Por desgracia, llegó en el peor momento. Un ataque de malware en el zoológico de robots local ha desatado la furia de los Leones de la IA, ¡y han conseguido entrar en el castillo!
Como no es de los que dejan que un pequeño problema como los leones asesinos le impida pintar bien la mampostería, Banky sigue adelante; de vez en cuando derrama un poco de pintura en el suelo (lo que confunde a los Leones de la IA y hace que se den la vuelta).
Una vez completado un nivel (una habitación) y pintadas todas las paredes, Banky puede pasar a la siguiente habitación. Y luego a la siguiente. ¡Y así hasta el infinito!
(¡Bueno, no exactamente hasta el infinito!)
¡El juego cuenta con 10 niveles de acción alucinante! ¿Podrás superarlos todos?
Podría gustar a los fans de Pac-Man o Burgertime.
