Supported formats: tap, hrs/hir and asm. Apparently there exists something called hrs/hir, but nobody has taken the time to document the format.
It's just normal TAP files, they have been named differently because it's more practical :) - rulezadded on the 2016-07-19 20:40:49

- demo Wild Tiki Tiki Ta by Darklite [web]
- @baudsurfer: What do you mean "recycled"?
It's the first demo on this particular machine, which means the creators probably spent most of their time actually trying to get something that works at all, so yes it's probably not going to be 100% original "in your face" never seen before effects.
As far as I'm concerned it was awesome (except that the roller coaster part was a tad wayyyyyyy too long :D) - rulezadded on the 2016-07-17 14:52:12

- By the way, I added the source code in the NFO if you want to check how this thing is programmed :)
Some information: You switch the printer to "graphic" mode by sending the code 18, back to text with the code 17.
In graphic mode you use some prefixed commands to do things:
I -> Set the origin point
H -> Go back to the origin
Sn -> Set the character size (from 0 to 63)
Cn -> Set the color (from 0 to 3)
Ln -> Set the line type (from 0 for full to 15 for dashed)
M, D, R, J -> Used to move or draw in relative or absolute coordinates
The printer has a 0.2mm accuracy on 480 "pixels" in width on the paper, and all the move commands accept coordinates in the -999 to +999 range.
And yes it's slow as a snail, it needs to move the carriage to the left hand side to access the barrel selector gear to select the next color.
I did not really try to optimize pen movements, ideally one should do a short path computing algorithm starting with black, then switch to blue, then green and finally red :) - isokadded on the 2016-07-17 14:42:49
