Hi, does anyone have a .cas copy of the program 'Dragon Disco Lights' that was printed in Dragon User sometime around 84-85? It was a simple m/c program to light up the screen when you played music through the datacorder. I remember typing this in but it only half worked and I only had 5 lights instead of the full screen. would love to see it running properly.
Chris Poacher.

I'm sure it worked, just my impatience aged 11 at my first attempt at entering hexloader numbers.

Hello Chris,
Yes, that name does indeed ring a bell. Unfortunately, I've gone throuh the table of contents today for all (online) issues from 1983 to 1987, but could not find any such thing. Yet I know there once was such a utility provided in DU. Or my memory is telling me so.
I never typed it in myself, but I believe that's just the kind of thing I could possibly do when I have a little spare time (... i.e. soon).
Hope someone else here might already have it, somewhere on a disk.
Kind regards,
Lionel

I remember it must be 1985 onwards, because I bought my first dragon user magazines then I'll have a look and see if I can find the page it was on. Chris.

Still not found this yet, I'm 100% sure it was in Dragon User around the time when Chuckie Egg & DarkStar were reviewed, although I can't find it..
Re: Dragon Disco Lights
I found "SOUND-TO-LIGHT" (written by R.Strange) through the index file at http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index. ... ragon_User published on page 33 of January 1985, with an improvement posted on page 4 of April 1985. Can it be this?

Re: Dragon Disco Lights
Hi Tormod, I don't think so as I'm absolutely sure the program was a basic hex-loader with about 50 lines of hex to enter; hence why mine didn't fully work as I made mistakes, A similar idea, this program had 9 rectangles 3x3 which filled the screen and chaged colour/pulsed when music played through the cassette input, mine only had 5 working lights as my impatience got the better of me at age 11
