TBI-54 Mandelbrot disc. One member has asked me for an explanation of Witchcraft, the puzzle on the ADFS version of issue 37. The idea is to make the grid on the left look the same as the grid on the right by pressing the keys QWEASDZXC. Pressing a particular key causes a certain pattern of tiles to toggle. The letter Q for instance toggles QWAS. You cannot toggle a letter if the corresponding tile is red. That is enough for now! A file on side two of TAU-4, the printer help disc is corrupted. It is corrupted on all my copies of the disc, so I assume it arrived at 8BS HQ corrupted. Has anyone an intact copy of The Acorn User Printer Help Disc? The 8BS Magazine Database is now ready for the streets 8BS-00 is now available as 2D, a database which allows you to search for articles and software from any 8BS issue. Sumvaders on TBI-2 was BBC only, however, you can get it to work on a Master. Two common compatibility problems here, so they are worth a mention: 1. The first is that PAGE should have been set to &1900 before running the program "Sumvade" 2. The sprite lookup table is in a different place. You can tell this problem when all the movement of the game is on the top line of the screen of your Master. Cure it with the following program: 50accon=&FE34:?accon=&18 60FORJ%=0TO31:K%=J%*640:P%=(2*J%)+&C375 :[OPT2 70EQUB K% DIV 256:EQUB K% AND 255 80]:NEXT Then chain your program. In the case of Sumvaders it was: 100PAGE=&1900:CHAIN"SUMVADE" I do not normally read the private messages, but I spotted a note from one member to another by chance. It concerned filing systems. You can find out the filing system that your machine is currently using. Type this: A%=0:Y%=0:A%=USR&FFDA Then if A%=1, you are using TAPE. If A%=4 DFS. If A%=8 ADFS. Simple when you know.
