I've finally found time to add it to Electron Elite.
Here's the docking computer in all its one-channel glory.

Sure, it’s pretty niche, but this has never been done before, which is always fun.
Can you tell what it is yet? The clue's in the clip...

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

In the original Electron version, the energy bomb did little more than beep gently. Now it rages with lightning bolts! That's much better.

Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡

Here's the feature list. It’s big! Big enough that this is effectively a Compendium version of Electron Elite; to sit proudly alongside the #BBCMicro Compendia. 🫡

This feature was only in the BBC and NES versions, and not the Commodore 64 or Apple II, so that's a one-up for the Elk. 🫡

Electron commanders can now join in the bug-hunt - at last!

Good to see they're as nail-bitingly dodgy as all the other versions!
Next on the list is to add 21 additional ship designs with spawning and tactic logic. That might take a while...

(In enhanced #Acorn #Electron #Elite, that is.)
The speed isn't bad, considering the sun is probably the most screen-memory-intensive (i.e. slow) feature of #BBCMicro Elite.

On the right: Electron Elite using the #BBCMicro sun code to show variable sized stars on the system chart.
Now I just have to hook this up to the solar system, so Electron Elite can finally have suns and fuel scooping...

But how does the enhanced 16K SRAM version cope?
Turns out enhanced Electron Elite is faster than the #C64! Sure, it can't compare on colour or music. But... result! 🚀

* Proper disk access menu
* Military lasers
* Extended system descriptions (edible poets!)
* System search
* Planetary details (meridians/equators and craters)
* Fast, flicker-free graphics
Looking good!

Having the Blue Danube and the title music in #Electron #Elite would be absolutely brilliant. Let’s make this happen! 😀
Using the original MIDI tracks by Aiden Bell as the source: www.dream-ware.co.uk/elite/music/
Difficult to compress into a single channel with no volume control!

It's going well. On the left is the original; on the right is my enhanced version. It's all down to sideways RAM and backporting faster code from the #BBCMicro and #C64 versions.
