I saw a couple of videos 5-6 months ago showing AGD version 5.
any news on this? will there be a release date or an early beta to join? Thanks

I have a bit of a problem with my development laptop ATM but I am hoping to get something for people to play with before the final version is released. I'll definitely need all the help I can get with testing, AGD 5 is a big leap forward from 4.8 with multiple sprite sizes, a new sound system and a brand new and more sophisticated compiler among many other additions and improvements. Ultimately the tool will be a pair of ROMs for the 128K machines so the full Spectrum RAM will be available but the beta version will have to run in RAM; It takes time to get 2 16K ROMs talking to each other so I'd rather leave that until most of the bugs are ironed out! People should still be able to create nice little games with the beta though.
I've been very busy with work in recent months but as soon as that changes I'll be able to devote more time to getting a first release of AGD 5 out.
