1 mNow what?
1 challenge' set by Jon North? _ I know... my scroller isn't quite brilliant, but then I don't have an assembler at the moment, so if you're wondering how I wrote MY scrollers, I used DATA statements (easy considering the program size... not large). I wrote a Z80 assembler in BBC Basic recently. Of course, I made use of multi-line functions. Gone green with envy yet? Speaking of functions, try this for conversion to hex (type it in EXACTLY): DEF FN h$(n)=VAL$ ((CHR$ 168+"h$("+STR$ INT (n/16)+")+" AND INT (n/16))+""""+"0123456789ABCDEF"(n-16*INT (n/16)+1)+"""") ...oh and get those multiple quotation marks right - there are two groups of four. Look, I know it works. I wrote it. _ Rick O'Neill: about your proportional print routine (as used above) - instead of using width and bit-shift data for each character (restricts you to one character set), why didn't you use said data for each data byte (generated by ORing all the bytes making up the character together), shift the character data as indicated, and dump
1 better than the BBC version'? _ Hmm. This message seems to get longer every time I look at it! _ Pity about the European Championships. We all know what went wrong - no unpredictability in the squad such that the opposition could always predict what would be done next. As for the Scots, as usual they left it until they were already out before doing the business. _ All the other messages have hellos in them. I can't win... really boring bit coming up... Hello to

1 Welcome! This is Hacks Amazing, compiled by the Manic Hacker. _ With any luck, you will see a new improved (and rewritten) Pokemania. You will notice the new improved scroller, the new improved poke selection, the new improved Multiface page... I could go on for ages if I wanted to, but there's no point. The only thing I can't improve is the spelling and punctuation in the scroller - though the spelling has improved noticeably of late. Oh yes. You will have noticed the cylinder scroller above. Graham Mason, have you written that cylinder scroller yet? You know, the

1 Deport' of Liversedge (very Chaotic), a Colley of York and JB - you know who you are. And if you don't, there are some nice white rooms in which you can sit, scribbling on the padded walls with a crayon held between your teeth... no no it isn't to be eaten...

1 version, judging by that screenshot). I've seen a Lemmings demo on the Archimedes (BAU readers will know about it) and it's excellent, though obviously more colourful than the Speccy version (which I have transferred, entirely, to disk: 42K of program and only 493K of data), but not as colourful as it might be, since the graphics appear to have been ported from the 16-bit versions. And for all you 16-bitters reading this... Tetris! Of course you can have too much colour... Anybody who knows an ST owner with a copy of Exile: yes that's another BBC game that made it to another computer. Just like Elite, Repton, Repton 2, Repton 3... Speaking of Elite, of course the BBC version is better (ignoring the Arc version). What do you expect when a version written for a 16-bit machine is rejected as
