Sir Clive

Sir Clive - Michael Scott & Gavin Monk (Your Spectrum-Issue 1-Page 80)








Welcome to the first selection of programs, hot off the keyboard


and trembling with anticipation at being tapped into the nation's


Spectrums. Over the coming issues, we'll be aiming to provide a


wide range of software that will include games, domestic and


utility programs. But (and don't look too hard at some of this


month's offerings!) our one priority will be to bring you structured


listings from which you can learn how to program efficiently.


Obviously, as this is the first issue of Your Spectrum, you


haven't heard of us any more than we've heard of you ... yet.


However, if you fancy carving your niche in the YS software


hall of fame, then send in anything you think is good - and maybe


we'll publish it. (We pay better than most - but they've got


to be good!)


But enough of the solicitations ... why not type in our first


listing - you'll soon get the message.








Lines 1-10 Set up the screen attributes.


Lines 999-4999 This section of the program draws the vertical lines, starting


from the left-hand side of the screen. The data contains


details for all the straight lines which make up the drawing


of Sir Clive Sinclair.


Lines 5000-5999 This section of the listing comprises the details of the


sketch which are not made up of straight lines.


Lines 6000-6040 y and x give the position of the message, a$, to be printed.


The messages are printed out tele-type style by the


subroutine at line 8000. Line 6012 plays the 'hero' tune


from the data in line 9000. Lines 6020-6040 clear the


messages once they have been on the screen for the set


period.


Lines 6050-6110 Change the colour of the screen by printing over b$ so that


the sketch of Sir Clive is not lost. Lines 6080 and 6090


print the 'RICH' message and the 'dancing' pound notes.


Lines 6120-7999 Print the last message, inviting you to send in your software


to Your Spectrum magazine.


Line 8000 Prints a$ at screen co-ordinates y,x in a tele-type style.


Lines 8999-9998 Contain the data for the 'hero' tune.
