BUG: ( [e.g. print (2+3) would list as print(2+3) and on retokenising was assumed to be an array]
IMP: Added PALETTE CLEAR (to reset it)
BRK: * BREAKING CHANGE * Sound lengths are now in cs not ms, for consistency with the rest of BASIC.

Apologies for the breaking change. Every other time measurement is in 1/100 seconds, except the sound. I decided to make the sound 1/100th rather than 1/1000 seconds for consistency.

If anyone (other than me) has written any sound code, just divide all the times and slides by 10

To do that ray trace type picture on facebook I speeded up the CPU by a factor of 10 so I didn't have to wait 10 minutes. Unfortunately because I'm an idiot I forgot to remove it, so emulator 6502s have been running at 62Mhz.

Firmware not required to be changed unless you want to use HIMEM, NOTES() and CLEAR

This is the first 'built on github' release, so let me know if there are any problems. It should be fine.
Changes:

  • Windows emulator now runs without DLLs
  • Fixed sprite image $80 bug
  • Added bouncy ball demo
  • Added FROM to graphics commands
  • Sprites now clip properly and have anchor positions
  • Sound can now 'slide' - change frequency regularly giving rise to various sound effects.

This is release 2, which is complete and useable as is. There are improvements and additions to be made, of course, but these should be backwards compatible.
