01 Intro - lets write Lunar Rescue

Welcome to my hacked together tutorial where I run through developing a simple retro arcade game for the ZX Spectrum Next using NextBasic. In this video I start out creating a simple rescue pod with thrust features and gravity.
Its aimed at the new user to NextBasic, or to programming in general.
If you want to skip over the intro and get straight into it, go to 11:17 to get going!
If you want the sprites used in the tutorial or just want to play the game, you can download it from here:

No problems... Its all 'off the cuff' and unplanned so I do tend to just start to waffle quite a bit... lol!

Great tutorial. Love the hand drawn ship and little space man. How did u draw it? Pen and paper or on a computer?

This one was just a rough doodle in one of my sketch books. Basically it was a quick pencil sketch then an ink over with a thin black ink pen. Often I find the best way to motivate myself to work on these projects is to do an 'inspired' doodle I imagine might appear on a crappy old 80's hand-drawn cassette cover. lol!
