Spectrum version 4.7

[Jonathan Cauldwell]

New this time:

- added STOPFALL command
- added S and T variables
- prevent user creating empty text messages which caused corruption
- added code templates for pushable blocks and moving platforms
- COLLISION can now be used to detect sprites of the same type
- BEEP values over 127 now produce white noise sound effects
- removed requirement for sprite to be standing on a solid block before a jump
- stopped text messages corrupting PUTBLOCK
- temporarily compress sprites to free up memory when editing events
- water blocks are now working correctly
- copying and pasting 16x24 pixel sprites now copies the entire image
- BEEP no longer changes the border colour to black
- various minor engine changes

Thats great thanks! any recommendation in order to migrate from 4.6 in a secure way? must be doing something wrong cause loading the saved tape doesn't work correctly for me ...

thanks!

Great stuff, looking forward to starting a fresh project in it.

Thanks a lot Jonathan!

There is an error in the instructions. In order to copy a sprite from the scratchpad you have to press the 0 key, not G. Pressing G recalls the scratchpad instead.

Oddly enough, this was already present in the previous versions but I only noticed it right now.

Hi Raul,

I loaded some old projects saved with AGD 4.6 into 4.7 and unfortunately it seems the new version is not backward compatible, i.e. it won't accept code exported from the previous one.

Yep, same conclusion here , my actual project must be kept in 4.6 tnxs!GuardarGuardar

Hmmmm, seems to crash for me when I press the Miscellaneous button, just freezes up. Using Spin, will try in spactaculator tonight.

Start AGD - push "x" = normal screen with "GET READY"... "Enter" and push again "x" = abnormal screen without "GET READY"...
more...
push "A", "C" - exit to Basic
"F" - Integer out of range or if "enter" - reboot
"I", "J","K" - program freezes
"E", "L" - not started from the first time
after same time started (not stable)
What is this?!
Sorry my English

[Jonathan Cauldwell]

Amfirifma, AGD 4.7 only works on a 128K or +2 machine. Sounds to me like you're using something else.

[amfirifma]

Thanks! I can load my project from 4.6 to 4.7 - Game started! It`s work, but when all lives is finished, game exit to basic. How I can return to programm code? Randomize usr 24000 not help me.

Thanks very much for this fantastic program!
I'm a very very noob! Is there any place where I can see any examples of source code, how can I do graphics, ect?

Thanks in advance!
