MtM Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello Tony, welcome to the forum! That is a very impressive entrance too, a new and improved version of MM, congratulations with that. It has been a very long time since I fired up a Beeb emulator ... is there any chance of a link to a youtube video of it if there is one please? Welcome again. Now, I should know this, but I don't for sure - did JSW come out on the Beeb too? If so, then maybe that is your next project ... 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobyLobster Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thanks. There's no YouTube video yet. I'm hoping someone makes one for me so I don't have to 🙂 Both JSW and JSW II are available for the BBC Micro and are pretty good versions already.

TobyLobster Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Now playable in an online BBC Micro emulator (no download required): http://bbc.godbolt.org/?autoboot&disc=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TobyLobster/ManicMiner2021/main/NEWMINER.ssd Keys are: Z,X for left/right and RETURN to jump. Q turns off the music, S resumes music. Edited April 17, 2021 by TobyLobster Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 This is excellent, there's no other word for it. I was thinking would it be possible to perhaps host it here too in our download section (with some screenshots and a description) 🙂 We do have a few BBC variants of Manic Miner already here, standard and a couple of 'prepatched' cheat ones. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heracleum Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Nice, great job! 👍 I've seen the flicker in Willy's sprite was terrible in the original so you really fixed that (oh and I imagined you changed the last two levels but I see they were already different in the original) I tried to find a Pause command; according to the original screen: Quote "DELETE/COPY - freeze/continue" Ok the Delete is "backspace" on the keyboard.. but I can't seem to find the key for "COPY"?? How to resume pause on our keyboards? Edit: Nevermind, found it! It's the "Esc" key (shift+Esc if you have Num Lock on like I did) Edited April 18, 2021 by Heracleum Esc key found jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus iirc at least one of them allows both 'real' and 'logical' key mappings just to add to the confusion. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
