Re: XRoar 1.0 released

It might also serve as a good test for Windows 11 rendering - it should show colours that change when you press keys. If you just see black, it'll be the same bug there too. But mainly it's testing focus: Control+L to open a load dialog, Control+Q to quit. After you close the load dialog, it'll be ...

I have just downloaded XRoar 1.0.5 and I am having some trouble using it.
I have the same problem with xroar-snap-1.0.977 and xroar-snap-1.0.1000, and not just with mounting disc images, CTRL+L to load a tape also produces this behaviour.

That's if you are emulating a 200-E or have Keyboard Translation turned on. Otherwise it's whatever key is to the right of "P" ("[" on a UK keyboard) plus shift.

Re: Text Adventure Creator Program - was there one?

Just a note that the Usborne books I mentioned now have a separate page entry at https://usborne.com/gb/books/computer-and-coding-books (the Google drive locations for the actual PDFs probably remain the same).

Re: Text Adventure Creator Program - was there one?

I have seen in the archive there are various "Adventures" A, B, C etc. Were they written in basic I wonder? For a (sadly not yet comprehensive) list of Dragon programs written in BASIC see https://solutionarchive.com/list/platform%2C9/system%2C1/ - though ignore Adventureland as the original TRS-80...
