To answer your question Miro, Octasoft BASIC V7.0 is the only thing we have, there's no "real" CBM BASIC 7.0 for the Plus/4. I'm not sure what Simon's BASIC is like, so I can't compare. But briefly, it's a cartridge, so the extra BASIC commands don't take up any memory. It does add sprite handling, but it can't change the fact that all we have is the TED, so they are soft-sprites, using a custom character set.
George, sprites are implemented. Here's how you can quickly test: put the CRT file into ROM C3 Low. Press F2 to start. Type this little program:
0 sprsav"12345678",1
1 refresh
2 sprite4,1
3 movspr4,x,y
4 x=x+1and127:y=y+1and127
5 project:goto3
The first line "defines" the sprite, so it will be some random stuff, but it's necessary to do that so we can see something. It works, but it does flicker occasionally.
