There is Kickstarter of ZX Spectrum NEXT computer

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835143999/zx-spectrum-next/comments

IF You want buy the Board then cost £99 and you would get it this August at the earlest.

So the Spec of ZX Speccy Next are

3.5MHZ or 7MHZ(you can switch it if you want faster speed)
1MB
SID(C64 Sound chip!)

Nice one and run well on Surface 3. Good Music

Excellent Man

Is this it?

Look interested and does it have own IDE where you code em?

Good Remake with nice music

Nice one as always

That is unbelievable biggest Hard drive I ever seen at the moment!

It come in Book when you code em

There is quite lots of Amstrad CPC demo

They have updated it for this year

Very good and run well on AMD Laptop where Surface 3 was very slow(you can reduce starfield down to 100 as then it would run well)

Well Done

Monkey2 is a new programming language currently under development designed for creating cross-platform apps and games.

Monkey2 features a clean, clear syntax that is largely self-documenting. For example, here is how you declare a class in monkey2:

Code Select Expand


Class MyClass Extends BaseClass

   Field position:Vec2f
   Field velocity:Vec2f

   Method Update()
      position+=velocity
   End

End


However, despite its simple syntax, monkey2 also provides support for a wide range of modern programming techniques, including:

•Generic classes and functions
•Stack allocated structs
•Operator overloading
•First class functions
•Anonymous 'lambda' functions
•Coroutines

What is mean it going be lots deeper coding than before !

Have you heard of Processings 3 as it like Java based but it is bit easier!

Hello and  ferris,

Blitz 2D(or BlitzPlus) are really good back in year 2000 or so.  Looking your source code vector bob with ligh effect and run well.  Shockwave Blue Vector Bob run 16FPS on my surface 3.

Cool Screenshot

I bought it 3 weeks ago but I am worrying about when windows freeze as it happened twice. I am not sure if is Mircosoft surface 3 or windows 10 that cause the problem.

I thinking of getting rid of AMD Laptop A10 7300 but it made me think twice just see how my Surface 3 goes for few months or so.

I dont know i think people are just busy with life and all that stuff . To make things more active i think people should put forward some simple tutorials. Wouldn't it be good if we all started to create a resource that catalogues all the classic demo effects. from scrollers, to star fields and tunnels to twisters. Information on some effects i find lacking on the web, for example classic  the lens effect. If we build up a database of effects DBF could be a resource that lots of people will follow. I think we should put a heavy emphasis on newbies and not assume everyone is a maths genius.

I agree, it would help newbie and they can show their own things on what they can do.

Due to the variety of languages i think we should stick to pseudo code. or pick one common language to code examples in. My vote would be for processing. Its C style, modern. and dose away with all boilerplate code, and works on all 3 major platforms. I'm happy to contribute effects that I know, in the tutorials section. we could think about setting up a Github containing the finished products.

I heard about processing which can do python and Java plus there more to come(I think it can do opengl too). It more of graphics programming which can be good things.

Having once resource will help more people join and that means more people to contribute more effects and techniques that others in DBF can benefit from. Having people like hellfire here is a real win as he seems to know allot.

More they register here and they will be able to get resource to learn from. I like see more Demo competions(Happy New year, Easter, Halloween, Xmas) for newbie and expert like as that way create more post to the forum.

  to the Forum Guys

Great 

Run very well on Surface 3
