Gaia,
I am indeed. I still have the weapon and 3 little annoying baddies to add, but they shouldn't be too much of an overhead.

I have always been envious of Spectrum owners because of Atic Atac... so tremendously happy about your efforts. Software sprites would be great, but of course 16k is very limiting. Flicker would actually be a lot worse, but I guess you're syncing screen updates after a well placed raster IRQ?

Thank you all for your kind words.
Sadly I didn't have enough memory for pixel movement or genuine soft sprites but this helps with the pace and memory constraints. It's mostly not noticeable once playing.
Verona, Working hard to get it finished. Not long now I added item collection and dropping last night.

The video looks great! Pretty fast code.
I always found it fascinating, how Atic Atac created the illusion of a 3D room with simple elements.

Thanks. It’s a lot of fun trying to squeeze it into 16k.
Already planning my next game.

| Atic Atac video update
It's been a while, what with Christmas, fitting flooring, fixing my 195,000 mile car and general life.
I've added some more functionality to Atic Atac for the C16/Plus4.
Memory is getting a little tight. I've got about 951 bytes free. So should be fun. Although I have noticed some potential improvements in my map handling system.
