Stitchet Type-In From Dragon User January 1985

This is an interesting yet short type-in from Dragon User January 1985. The final REM lines include details for running in PMODE3 so I have typed the two versions and made videos of both.

Word of warning - may best turn down the volume before playing!


SeptTandy 2024 - Introducing ECHO-CO

SeptTandy is underway and I have had fun with this SFX tool. It's still a bit rough in places but the concept seems solid enough.



The asterisk is a selector you can  move up and down to choose an attribute to modify. There's a list of keyboard controls which will be documented but it's pretty easy to modify a sound and play around with it.

SOUND at the top is the bank you are working on. You can have 10 sounds in total at once. I am going to add a soundboard mode where you can play with all the sounds at once. There'll also be an option to print the sounds to the printer. In my case this will be the XRoar file output. Still deciding whether to save to disk as an option.

The WIP code is on GitHub if you want an early look. Beep beep!

SeptTandy is nearly here! I have a few ideas which I will try and get to but the main one I am excited to get started on.

I am going to be working on a SFX utility for BASIC that helps you compose those PLAY statements - usually at Tempo 255 to create those bleeps and burbles for my BASIC programs. This will run on both Tandy and Dragons. It should be more fun to use than editing PLAY statements!

Aiming to let you print out the final statement which can be captured by emulator to file (XRoar allows this) so they can be copied into VSCode etc easily.

P.S. One of the sound effects on Lucky Egg was PLAY"T255BADEGG"
