- 1k ZX-81 Wall-run
- WALL-RUN is for the ZX80/ZX81, (1k or 2k+), and is a simple open source machine code game.
The zip file has the source code, "zwall.asm" and 4 executables:
ZX81: zwall1k.p and zwall2k.p
ZX80: zwall1k.o and zwall2k.o
Use the keys "WADX" (W=up,X=down,A=Left,D=Right) to control your wall and trap the computer opponent. When you do, you progress to the next level. You have to trap the computer twice on level 2, 3 times on 3, etc.
Collect bonuses ($) for points, they score more on higher levels.
The level number (1-9) is shown on the top bar.
The 2k+ version has a bigger screen, score/high score and title screen.
Note that the souce code can conditionally compile the same code to ZX80 or ZX81, 1k or 2k+. This code demonstrates how you can write programs that work on both systems.
Is this the first pouet prod for the zx80? - isokadded on the 2025-06-15 11:21:55

- demo Commodore PET Hawaii
- This is the famous "Hawaii" demo for the PET 2001 computer (upgrade rom) by Ken Morley. It appeared on Cursor tape magazine #15.
For complete collection (1978-) see:
https://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/magazines/cursor/index.html
I posted this because I saw the TRS80 "Dancing Demon" demo here, but not this one. Cursor might be viewed as the first widespread "scene" type tape/disk magazine. Each issue had a "cover" program, with a simple m/c or basic demo style effect.
Anyway what do you think was the first "scene" demo/prod/magazine? - isokadded on the 2025-05-14 15:27:36
- game TRS-80/CoCo/Dragon Dancing Demon by Leo Christopherson [web] & Radio Shack [web]
- Remember this from the time, coolest thing ever on TRS80.
But First ever demo? There were earlier ones, ie Try PET cursor tape magazine, 1978-, each issue had a demo effect opening screen.
Also "Hawaii" from Cursor #15.

- 128b Linux MS-Dos This is the (one dimensional) Life!
- yes, inevitable! This one does compile down to 57b if using mod 4 and no user keys, but the results are less interesting. I thought it important that the user could step through a wide range of different effects.
After writing it I realized I had done it differently from the normal 1d method, in fact the 5 colours are 0-255 vga index, which are added and THEN made MOD 5. This makes the colours more varied, and I think changes the maths and makes the effects more interesting.
More experiments needed.
Thanks for the links, useful.. - isokadded on the 2025-05-09 14:32:45
- 512b MS-Dos CGA Plasma
- The effect addresses the display as if it is 160x100, 16 colour by dithering. As GC says this resolves to solid 16 col in real Ntsc composite. (unintended effect!) It switches B8000/BA000 on alt frames (interlace). Overall near 4x "apparent" speed for just 320x200 mapping.
This a link to run cgaplasma under (GCs) MartyPC 8088 Xt emu.

Just click on Display -> Composite Monitor for the 16 colour effect.
