Here is a zip containing a slightly updated version of the DM program in the Apshai directory and two additional programs:
Swelfoop - a puzzle game
Big Red - A variation on the ZX81 Classic 3D monster Maze involving a killer Tomato.

It may not be an issue on a real Dragon, I haven't tested Dicewars on one so I cannot be sure, but on a flat laptop keyboard it definitely causes problems. I think it's a wise suggestions regardless of the keyboard. I've added it to the Dragon version and my Coco version. I'll add it to my MC-10 ve...

Thanks Alastair. Not so much a problem with the MC-10 chiclet style keys. I'll make that change "official" in my next upload.

Here are few other updated games...

Here's the latest version of of BERZERK containing a few refined techniques for squeezing just a few more ticks of speed out of the code...

Here's a new game I've made on the MC-10 and converted to Dragon. It's called DiceWars and its a rendition of a popular Java game that can be found on the net. Hope my AI is reasonably challenging. Any feedback would be much appreciated. More conversions on the way...

Currently i'm writing a BASIC code reformat tool. Current state: before: IMHO INVADER.bas reads the keyboard matrix directly, so it didn't use the BASIC scan routine, isn't it? And IMHO the keyboard matrix is different and the BASIC scan routine returns different values, too. So it's impossible to ...

One questions to your BASIC code: In INVADERS.bas i found many of this: ONK GOSUB2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 ON M GOSUB21,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,20,20,20 ON K GOTO1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 Why not a IF stat...

What's about to put all .bas listing on a github account? Good idea. I'll see about getting an account. Got my son to install DragonPy on his Linux PC (PyPy ver). Little harder to get it up on my Windows PC (old and slow). Have tried tinkering with the editor. Nice colourization. Been having troubl...

A Dragon Emulator in Python! Very nice. I'll get my Linux savvy son to fire up his compiler and get it running...
