A ZX81/TS1000 Version of Defender - Abduxion

Demonstrating the finished game, I explain a little about how it works, what compromises had to be made during development to keep the speed up and even show how the wrap-around play area is achieved in the code that dumps the buffer to the screen.

This seems to be highly playable.
Well, maybe the ZX81's original keyboard adds a new level of difficulty. 😉

That's a very authentic version of Defender. Good to see one finally appear for the ZX81.
I do ZX81 coding myself as Bukster Games. I use Flat Assembler which compiles the code straight into a .P file. The code screen looks to be called CodeWright. Is that a better program and where do I get it from?

[@jonathancauldwell9822]

CodeWright is the editor I used in my day job until recently, I just use it for Z80 assembly language because I'm familiar with it. For assembling I use sjAsmPlus but that only creates a .BIN file not a .P so you're probably better sticking with what you have.

Yes, both games will be available on cassette soon
