Advanced Spectrum Machine Language

This book is a collection of ready-made machine language routines that show how to archieve spectacular effects on the Spectrum. Most of the routines are aimed at creating visual displays that are at the frontiers of Spectrum's capabilities. The routines include features that have never been published before, such as: Full Screen Horizon ! Lets you change the colour of the border and screen at any point, and move this horizon at will ! Interrupts Driven Sprite Animation ! Animate objects with perfectly flicker-free movement by pixels ! High Resolution Colour ! Create an area on the Spectrum with eight times the normal Spectrum's Colour Resolution! Create images over all of the screen area, including all regions of the border !

This book is for programmers with some experience in machine language programming. All the routines are listed in labelled assembly language and the techniques and principles involved are fully explained. Other routines included in this book are PRINT, PLOTTING, DRAWNING and KEYBOARD SCAN. The routines are all of professional quality and do no involve any calls to the ROM. This means that the speed of your machine language programs can be dramatically increased using these routines.

For the newcomer to computing, Jean Frost's Instant Arcade Games will be nothing short of a revelation.  With little or no knowledge of BASIC, you can still take a suite of 'skeleton' programs and create your own arsenal of dynamic and totally unique arcade games. This is not just another collection of listings, but a library of software that also serve as one of the most accessible introductions to structured programming ever written. For Spectrum users who already write their own software, Instant Arcade Games offers an invaluable library of imaginative subroutines and user-defined graphics to enhance the efficiency and visual impact of their game programs. Spaceships, motherships, firing and scoring routines - the book is packed with ready-made modules that can be slotted into virtually any kind of arcade-style program.

Machine code for action. Machine-code programs run very quickly, literally hundreds of times faster than the equivalent BASIC. And they are very powerful, enabling your computer to do things undreamed of by its manufacturer!
The ZX Spectrum uses a Z80 processor, and machine-code programs are written in Z80 assembly language. This book is a complete course in Z80 assembly language, right from the beginning. Written by an experienced teacher and programmer, it is ideal for anyone with a knowledge of BASIC and contains many complete-and useful- programs.
Assembly software. The assembly-language listings in this book can of course be hand assembled into machine code, but for speed and accuracy you should use the McGraw-Hill ZX Spectrum Machine Code Assembler program, available on cassette for the 16K or 48K Spectrum. All the program listings have been specially written to match this software

Micro-PROLOG is the name of a variant or dialect of Prolog , initially created to microcomputer of 8 bits, popularized in the early of 1980 . Fue usado en la enseñanza pública, normalmente como introducción a la programación lógica ya la Inteligencia Artificial . Was used in public education, usually as an introduction to logic programming and Artificial Intelligence .

Sinclair Research launched a package that includes a 'primer' on the language, Micro Prolog, together with a cassette containing the interpreter and a few example programs. Prolog is the language that the Japanese have selected as a major component in their ambitious project for a new breed of computers called the Fifth Generation - planned for the next decade. And considering the Japanese designers are hoping to build computers that can emulate human reasoning powers, it's hardly surprising that the programming language they have chosen is a few light years away from homely old Basic.The name Prolog is derived from the phrase 'programming in logic'. The language was originally developed at the University of Marseilles about ten years ago,

"Now without any additional effort, you can overcome the limitations of BASIC and give your Spectrum real power-faster programs, more powerful graphic commands, realistic explosions, fast screen scrolling, great sounds and much more! This book will help you to develop programs of professional quality- not only will your programs look better, run faster, and be more spectacular- but you will also be able to develop them in a fraction of the time you would expect it to take. One of the most spectacular examples of extending the Spectrum is a routine that allows you to reproduce your voice and play it back from within your own programs! No knowledge of machine language is required, as all the routines have been fully written and can be directly entered into your Spectrum. The routines in this book will also allow you to renumber your BASIC programs (including all GOTOs and GOSUBs!), deletes lines, and trace BASIC programs by showing the line number of each line as it executes. David Webb also includes the most discussion of all the Spectrum's system variables yet published. If you are already familair with machine language, then this book will be an invaluable aid to writing your own programs- here are over 50 ready-made and debugged routines, with clear and detailed comment, that use the full power of the Spectrum Z80A and its special features. So whether you are a beginner Spectrum user or an experienced programmer, Supercharge your Spectrum is a book you cannot be without."

Dr. Ian Logan is widely acknowledged as the leading authority on Sinclair computers. In this book, he gives you a complete overview of the way the Spectrum operates, both for BASIC and machine language programming, including numerous demonstration programs. In Dr. Logan's word Understanding Your Spectrum has three main aims: to explain, in simple terms, how the Spectrum works; to teach Z80 machine code from the first principles; and to give details of monitor entry points, so that efficient programs can be written. A special section of the ROM operating system will give you insight into the Spectrum and provide you with information on how to use many of the routines present in the ROM in your own programming/ This book is a must if you are serious about programming the Spectrum.
