Since zxbasic compiler has a library for 4x8 characters, how possible or easy to implement would be a 4x6 characters version?

while browsing the compiler's content, i found './library/mj/fourspriter.bas'
supposed that '#include <fourspriter.bas>' or '#include <mj/fourspriter.bas>' should be part of our snippets, but i have no idea about how to used...
some ideas?
thanks!

hi!
i always had some idea that z80 assemblers accepts byte values in hexadecimal format, instead of only decimals - i'm i wrong, or is this zxbasic compiling missing this feature? (or can we suggest this feature?)

i'm trying to draw a kind of custom simplified vectorial file, converted from postscript or svg, with a code like this:

do someone know how can we have zxb.py as command from Bash, and having Boriel's zx-spectrum compiler placed in some directory inside '/opt/'?
this question is because:

1- would be great having a more comfortable way to use the compiler from the terminal, without having to do a 'cd' inside the compiler directory, just like using tools like zmakebas (available in Ubuntu and Debian repository)

2- would help package maintainers to help creating a package, in formats like .deb, .rpm, etc., and having it available defaulty in their repositories, like on Ubuntu or Debian, we only needed to enter 'sudo apt-get install borielzxspectrumcompiler' (if this could be the name of the package), for installing it

any help is very welcome! thanks!

btw, sorry if i'm posting this in a wrong place if it looks offtopic - i don't know where else to post it...

as i think some people here missed tools for converting binary files into .tap , i recoded this converter in python, which i don't know if this can be useful for you
(i think LCD knows the sdlBasic and Amos versions of this converter i coded since around 10 years ago)

maybe a tool like this would be missing on the Boriel's zx-basic compiler package?

(btw, it provides a weird bug, the binary files are opening fine on Fbzx emulator, but not in Fuse... (both Linux versions) - i don't know what i'm doing wrong )

Hola!

Various people have mentioned that they would like to see support for my ZXodus Engine in the compiler. However, I suspect they haven't actually mentioned it here.

ZXodus is a rainbow processor and tile engine that gives you a 9x9 grid of tiles (144x144 pixels with 8x1 attributes) on the original 48K Spectrum. It does work on other models but the timing may need tweaking.

The engine is available here (with source):

A simple PNG to tile converter (by na_th_an) is available here:

Hi all

Boriel, how about to integrate this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0014620">http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseek ... id=0014620</a><!-- m -->) as a library?) Chris said that "You can use this code freely, but I would appreciate a credit!"

Cheers

I made a snapshot from my game I currently write. On level 4 after 6 moves it came with a out of memory error, but the code is not different from levels 1-3, where it works well. I suspect a memory leak. The included snapshot is just short before it happens (Controls: QAOPM). I can PM the source too. The same thing happen with Heap size 256 or 1500.
