Manic Miner Sprint

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know about something that I spotted today on YouTube.

A guy has produced a new version of classic (Bug-Byte) Manic Miner called Manic Miner Sprint, in which he's injected 'physics' so that the game can be played quite differently. Now Willy has a variable jump, can adjust his movement in mid-air, and has a 'sprint' ability that allows him to do long jumps and so on. It's quite an interesting mod, and gives the game a new way to play it.

What's especially interesting (if not alarming) is that apparently the coding was mostly done by AI.

Anyway, I'll leave it to you all to watch the video and investigate the updated version for yourselves.

I found out about Manic Miner Sprint by stumbling across this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/gxxNgZgd88I

The code repository for the patch, along with release notes, is on Github: https://github.com/sharopolis/manic-miner-sprint

And since no downloadable .tap file of the patched game is supplied, I'm saving you all the bother of creating it by attaching the copy I made to this post.

The patched game appears to have lost access to the 6031769 cheat (unless it's been changed, but there's no mention of that). But given the changes, and that infinite lives is standard in this version, it's not terribly important.
