Hello!
Although I grew up during the arcade and 8-bit era, I am in Canada, and didn't encounter much about the Spectrum or other UK computers back then. One friend had a Timex Sinclair, and I was vaguely aware Sinclair was from the UK, but that's about it. Thanks to the internet and YouTube channels I've since become a huge fan of the system, and although I've never used an actual physical model, I have discovered many great games through emulators.
Now, thanks to too much free time on my hands, some great YouTube tutorials (thanks Paul Jenkinson!), this really awesome tool (thanks Jonathan Cauldwell!), and an inspiring homebrew scene, I got it into my head that I wanted to create a game for the system. So I'm here to ask people with much more experience and knowledge than me for answers for what I hope aren't really dull questions.
Aleisha from Canada
p.s. Being from Canada, it makes me happy every time I type in COLOUR to AGD and not have it be an error (even the browser I'm typing this in right now is telling me it's spelled wrong. I know I could find the dictionary and change it, but after a lifetime of living under the tyranny of default US spellchecks, it's a nice that AGD spells it properly. )

Hi Aleisha!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Though maybe Jon should change it to colour, that would save a byte in the game editor!

Welcome aboard Could you tell us which part of Canada are you from? Just out of curiosity, I have been there myself some years ago.

Thank you both for the warm welcome! Welcome aboard Could you tell us which part of Canada are you from? Just out of curiosity, I have been there myself some years ago. I'm in Toronto now, though I lived in Vancouver for a number of years. Where did you visit when you were in Canada?

I was in Toronto, it was the first leg of my trip actually. I also went to visit Niagara Falls, Banff, Lake Louise, Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa. You can see my photo album on Flickr if you wish.
