I was doing this, but I gave up because it didn’t rise above 10 spf although
there were no monsters (there were no entities at all). So I formatted the raw materials in anger. so it's impossible IMHO :(

AH> Or maybe Quake?
Can you? So that everything would be natural. Like in the PC?

Good luck! Evgeny.

IMHO on the Spectrum 3D Action without textures would look very good.
Like Castle Master, only without filling with textures - just one wire.
With not too cool level architecture and silhouette monsters I think
you can achieve about 10 FPS, or even more.

If you use it as just a Spectrum, then probably yes...

However, if you use it as a Sprinter, then seven times the increase
speed will be offset by a proportional increase in the volume of output graphics (IMHO)

Warm greetings, Slava!

So this is Pete Cook, but there is no cooler one!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Alex Letaev to
Sergei Novikov Mon Nov 03, 1997 at 07:05...

AL> ALL<= Has anyone passed, or won in a race with a computer on difficult levels?

Passed - I didn’t pass, but I didn’t win in races along the corridors once True, I don’t remember at what levels of complexity. :)

With all kinds of regards and wishes.
Igor.

By the way, about micronaut - the monsters (the same caterpillars (?)) are well depicted and there are doors...

AL>> levels?

IG> Passed - I didn’t pass, but I won more than once in races along the corridors.
IG> I don’t really remember at what difficulty levels. :)

I also won on easy ones, but on difficult ones...

ML> Yes, but if invisible lines are visible, it will turn out to be a complete mess, like
ML> Catch 23.

You shouldn’t be so cool, a cool toy. We remixed it at one time, so it all came down to the fact that the map should be given, most likely on paper, since it cannot be drawn up that way. The scientists figured out the correspondence of the objects, but were unable to draw a map, and the release withered away. :-((((

ALL<= Who played this miracle?

Sorting through the latest mail, I come across an interesting letter dated November 02, 1997

When there is a lot of energy, you extinguish the cormorants faster, and there are fewer webs. Cobwebs are also extinguished at the assembly stage. I spent a lot of time looking for
clumps of energy.
