The Sinclair QL Forum

 
What do you think of it?

For me the Nokia E90 Communicator has had been the best mobile I ever had!

No, we shouldn't. Vroom does an awesome job in scrolling the large (32k) QL screen while a VIC 20 only has to move 4k around to do the same thing. The QL is hampered here because of it both having a generous amount of screen memory and no (or not much, considering a second screen is possible ...

Well than there is a user section, where user can post wishes, bugs, ... and there's a developer section, where developers can discuss, if the user wish can be done on the QL (QL-emulator) hardware and how the bugs can be solved.

 
I vote for games like Vroom! For me this was the most exciding game ever for the QL. I loved it, exellent graphics and (what is possible with the poor QL hardware) good sound. One of the few games I have bought.

Does it run on an emulator? (I have QPC2, UQLX, sQLux and Qemulator :-) )

Software & Programming suggestion:

Is it possible to divide the section of "Software & Programming") into a normal and a "Develop" section? I'm not so interessted in games/game threads like this thread ([url=viewtopic.php?p=65305#p65305l]).

Problem (REF_L%) get parameter via a3 (NOT CA.GTSTR!)

Technical Guide says A3 points to the first parameter (my function
is using just the first parameter, all others are ignored). So I get
the first parameter with:

move.w 0(a6,a3.l),d5

into register D5 (this seems ...

N E V E R   E V E R !   deepl.com is so much much better than ANY other translating software. Please use it!

I'm (slowly) coming "firm" again with the C1 Monitor :‑D It's IMHO the best monitor for the QL. Is the source code available? If one could add a history device to its channel #0, this would be absolutely great! And even better (Minerva and SMSQ/E) check the ESC key when entering commands (so that ...

No CURRENT software (and that even IMHO). It would be nice, if the board supports MMU and FPU, even if it's only delivered and tested with a 680xx without MMU and FPU.

I would prefer all S*BASIC programmes to numberless, and all programming could structured.

From what I have seen (determined) when developping reflection_cde SuperBASIC does NOT (not even in its tokenized form!) require line numbers. When I have finished reflection_cde (one PROC and one FuNc are ...
