Barely made it :D Just finished this year's snowy zx spectrum mini demo :D
As always, social media video compression ruins all the pixels and colors, so here is the tap file if you want to keep it running on your TV whole night :D

Another #ZXSpectrum game screen update examination! This is famous "Cobra", a masterpiece of coding by Jonathan Smith (aka.Joffa) It's one of the first game to use 4-way pixel based screen scolling. This requires careful timing on spectrum as there is no hardware to scroll the screen or the sprites!

My #ZXSpectrum debugging #emulator (Zex) can analyse how games write to screen by trapping opcodes. This game is starquake, a simple sprite based game, which erases and draws sprites on screen by using a series of LD (HL),A opcode, basically bruteforcing Z80 and RAM. More to come!
