Ok, I admit it, the DUCK is too damn fast to complete the level with sanity intact!
Time to slow it down a bit - one way is to expand its orbit table, making the table way too big, so I may as well just use some acceleration calculations instead.
....which was how I was doing it 6 months ago ! 😂

Talking of Acorn Electron Fortress, this is how far I've got with it.... slightly stalled due to stable framerate issues (and Chuckulus !).... plotting that giant wall causes the poor old Elk some problems now and again !

Another 'bug' ocurred when Harry runs toward or away from the DUCK.
It now changes attack direction every level. What it actually does is change the DUCK's orbit direction around the tower.
Harry can now run away/towards the DUCK on any level regardless of orbit direction ! 🤯

New level shambles testing (didn't say I was any good at Chuckulus !) 😅
Oh, a DUCK only level.... cue instant PANIC !

Must stop messing with the loader stuff !
Much happier with it now -
Instructions and title page (WIP still !) reintroduced.
Progress bar now handles disc loading too.

More messing with the tape loader !
Many thanks to @0xc0de.bsky.social 's recent Repton 1 loader disassembly, I've put in a (non-Microsoft) progress bar !
It's nice to have the tape blocks counting up, but if you don't know what number they go up to, one could get quite impatient ! 😅
