Dave Sonic Clarke


I've finally compiled everything Dave Sonic Clarke (aka Retro Beach Man) has written over the years. Or rather, everything I could restore without rewriting it from scratch.

I'd especially like to mention the Flashback Intro. I wasn't able to achieve the same frame rate, but at least I successfully converted the video into a sequence of screenshots, and the quality is noticeably higher than the original.

The Slideshow example also needed graphics, but Dave's posters were very squashed vertically. I cropped them as much as I could to make the image look more natural.

The Link's graphics also had to be restored, but Dave carefully showed every sprite, so the process went quickly.

The WebCam2 example is only a few lines long, but I was personally impressed.

But Launcher, despite copying the code exactly, couldn't add a background to Spectrum games. Perhaps something changed in the firmware. I'll check the documentation.
