Amstrad Action Christmas 1986 Type-Ins

2014-05-25T12:46:40Z

Maximumpyro: /* Type-Ins */ I actually created that type-in; they miss-spelled my name.

The following listings were published in the Christmas 1986 issue of ''[[Amstrad Action]]'':

=== Type-Ins ===

* Calendar (R. Bellerby)
* Fast Basic Double-Height (Chris Boothman)
* Snowstorm (Shaun Garrod)
* Artist (Simon Watson)
* Wandering Through Space (Julian Smalley)
* Pyramid (Adrian Sill)
* Shady Dump (Mark Gannon)
* Screen Squash (Simon Solway)

=== Problem Attic ===

* Bingo (Adrian Pegg) - a response to a request from a reader in the [[Amstrad Action, Issue 15, Dec 1986|December 1986]] issue (#15)
* Back to cassette loading - disables all ROMs, including [[AMSDOS]], which frees memory and allows certain very old CPC software to run successfully
* Speed Checker (John Keneally)

=== Hot Tips ===

* DATA from nowhere (JT) - creates BASIC <tt>DATA</tt> statements automatically
* Bordering on superdazzle (Roy Makely) - a response to the "Dazzling border" listing that was published in the [[Amstrad Action December 1986 Type-Ins|December 1986]] issue
* Muddling modes (Paul Smith) - a set of RSXs to display 20- and 40-column text in MODE 2

The "DATA from nowhere" listing is set up to work on CPC464 machines. Instructions are provided within the <tt>REM</tt> statements of the listing to set it up for CPC664 and CPC6128 machines.

The "Muddling modes" listing only works on CPC464 machines.

== Bugs ==

''Artist'' contains several bugs, including one where the screen can become corrupted.
