I've just completed some more additions to my #RISC_OS build of #OvationPro. A host of new features for Picture Frames. New alignments instead of just 'Centre', Fit to Width/Height of a frame. And also fit the frame to the picture. That's now 31 new build features and 70 new script functions.

Two years ago I released Elite 3D - the #BBCMicro classic, in anaglyph 3D (for red-and-cyan glasses) But I failed to give the project a repository, so here it is, only 22 months late: github.com/markmoxon/el... So you now can see every change I made to Elite to drag it into the third dimension 🚀

Another update to the McBrolly game, this fixes a layout bug on one of the levels. Give it a try in your favourite BBC Micro emulator: stardot.org.uk/forums/viewt...

One of the games I always come back to on the BBC Micro is Gordon Key's Boffin clone Professor McBrolly. Formerly a magazine type-in, it's a good game with some annoying bugs. Despite it's 1987 vintage, I've had a go at fixing these bugs 😄 1/2 bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=...

This morning I had two Archimedes A3010s, one known working and one unknown. Had a couple of hours so finally got around to battery removal and any necessary cleanup. The working machine had some leakage damage, the other was clean and has an IDE drive. I now have two non-working A3010s. Typical.

Wow! Two small manuals that shipped with the Acorn ARM Evaluation System 2nd Processor just sold for £253! That's not a full set of manuals either. I was guessing they might hit around £50. BBC BASIC and TWIN ( text editor ) software were both written by Sophie Wilson...just missing her signature!

Platform Shoes A somewhat random photo of dancer Viola in ballet shoes on Waterloo's piano key platform. She was on her way to teach a lesson. Those giant keys instantly took me back to the unforgettable piano dance scene from the movie Big with Tom Hanks.

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite has just become the first game ever to support all the buttons on twin Delta 14B joysticks So two players can dogfight in Elite without either of them needing the keyboard For some of us, this is a dream come true! And it justifies all this hardware I keep buying... 😀
