Three functions left to document - just doing the high score table gubbins then we're done! Let's see if we can't get it reassembling from source :o)

Not bad, 6 evenings' work. That's Chuckie Egg fully documented, re-assembling and running. A bit more tidy up, turning some magic numbers into EQUates and we're done. I've already added flags to turn off the music and Fuller Orator Speech!

Ooo! That one caught me out - entering my name on the high scores - no keyboard input. Chuckie uses the ROM routines for just name entry and I didn't have the Z80 in IM1 (or even enabled!)

The creator of Chuckie Egg, Nigel Alderton, from the outstanding "Rubber Keyed Wonder" documentary. It put me in the right mind set for taking the code apart and putting it back together. Check the documentary out - it's wonderful. youtube.com/watch?v=4erIAN…

Pssst, come on over to bsky.app/profile/paulie… it's a much better place... I'm counting down to saying sayonara to this account. Gutted after all this time, but Space Karen has just ruined it.

Here's the first pop of Spectrum Chuckie Egg reverse engineered back to a fully assembler-able version. The code is pretty well documented; I just need to add some more stuff to the readme about how some quirky bits work. I'll update the github soon! github.com/Paulie68000/ZX…

Did a bit of a cleanup on the Cobra source code - added some cheat EQUates, clustered a bunch of data together and spotted a couple of places not directly referencing labels, which could've caused chaos with any code moving around! A lovely piece of code. github.com/Paulie68000/ZX…

Also updated the Chuckie Egg repository - adding the Spectrum Analyser files I created in reverse engineering the game. Nice if you want to have a tinker with the analyser tool. github.com/Paulie68000/ZX…

And with that, my 56th commercial game is out. Here's the Chess Infinity features trailer in 4K. I'm particularly proud of the tactical assessment feature to help learn the game. youtube.com/watch?v=Ywb3Sy…

Just binged this. Absolutely outstanding television. The casting, the script, the acting, the locations, the cliff hangers. Beat to beat perfection. Liverpool is such a beautiful city. Do yourself a favour and imbibe every second of it #thiscityisours
