Fixed the flashing egg and bouncing off ladders bugs - thankfully quite simple stuff....
Time for some proper level design, as some are just too damn hard/impossible (even without the DUCK !) 🙄

Firing on all cylinders! Even figured out the largely undocumented and slightly pathetic opl rhythm section.
For those of you not following along, that's the guts of a Brother AX15 typewriter soldered onto an AY psg, an OPL2, an (arm)SID and a Phillips SAA 1099, controlled by a Kawai Q80 sequencer 🤩

So I think that's 26(?) OPL registers mapped to MIDI CC controls. Might be a bit of bug hunting to do, some of them seem to do things sometimes and less so others, but whatever, it's progress.

A good share really does make a difference for a YouTube video, normally when I make a video on a #retrogaming device the views tank compared to my videos on #retrocomputing, but because Hackaday shared youtu.be/QMk79fnd0VE
it's doing better than either of my last computing videos.

Listening to the album "Alison Moyet - Alf" in remastered high-rez 24 bit, 96KHz FLAC this evening. Have not played this in a long time and it sounds superb.

The factory presets sound awesome! Its like going back to the 1980's and owning a Yamaha DX7 but Korg have made it more user friendly and tweekable. Going deep in to the parameters of the presets reveals more sound shaping possibilities.
