    cool stuff, but you sound like you're a bit sad :( i suppose im just used to people being hyper energetic in these youtube videos. anyway good games all around. personally i dont have a single retro system (even though i respect them a lot) so there's just me and my trusty modern gaming pc. i enjoy a lot of VR games to be honest. but excluding those, i would love to get back into apex legends. incredibly fun game, if you like player vs player combat.

    instead of compressing individual bytes, mutate the abstraction to count associated information. ua-cam.com/video/eJIp_mgVLwE/v-deo.html A sliding zipper/unzipper reads in linear form, so the joint probability is the frequency of a byte to the next.

My decompress is slow, but efforts a lot more control. If L4Z compression is better, might be worth a try. But I have a lot of short strings that probably won't compress well with this method.

    Nice - as Boriel Basic has been designed for classic ZX Spectrums it has no inbuilt ability to target the next apart from the --zx-arch switch which enables some faster multiplications. There is a suite of tools that use Boriel called NextBuiild which enables you to control the Next's HW with keywords and produce NEX files.

On the other hand, he did some excellent work on Parasol Stars. Can't fault that one. Looks like 32 colours (or 16 colours for background, 15 for hardware sprites) and everything moves very smoothly. A lovely conversion. Of course, by then the Amiga's hardware was well understood, so I guess this was when Mick was at the top of his game.
