It is possible to make turn based games with that tool? I wanna to make game like Stoneshard on ZX Spectrum or maybe like Princess Paisley game on itch_io.
Hello there, i'm very impressed with this program. i've been fascinated with ZX Spectrum Games and Graphics for a few months now and i'm liking to use this program, this is very cool.
I'm having some issues envolving the exporting of the project, it creates the .agd file, it asks if you want to create a .tap file, but it never creates it, which is a problem.
I would be very thankful if you know what could i do to fix this.
(sorry for my English, it's not my main language.)
Off the top of my head I'm not sure what the problem is. If you post on the forums maybe someone who has had a similar issue will remember what the solution was.
This is limited to 48K isn’t it? Have you ever considered a 128K version? No complicated things like making it backwards compatible, just more memory available?
No, it wouldn't be straightforward to do that because the extra RAM is banked. MPAGD would have to spit out multiple listings and the user would have to manually assemble them individually then save them out as multiple code blocks, not to mention writing a BASIC loader program with some machine code to load the code files into the relevant RAM banks. Anyone capable of doing that is already capable of taking the existing assembly language listing and modding it to use the extra memory.

It isn't designed for turn-based games but I think they should be possible.
Sounds cool! I wanna to make some games like Bitsy / Princess Paisley with turn based gameplay and Narrative Interactives on ZX Spectrum.
