What is this "compiler" you speak of :-)
I have fond memories of writing a version of Tron's light bikes on my 16k Spectrum by hand-assembling Z80A machine code from my notebook[1] using the opcode lookup in the appendix of the manual.
[1] and if it isn't obvious - by notebook I mean one made of paper
- gaius 15y agoYeah, I was using the modern terminology, any Z80 assembler is going to produce the same machine code, it just needs to be loaded into the Spectrum's memory somehow. Can you imagine using that keyboard 8 hrs a day as a fully grown adult?
