This might belong in general ti discussion - I'm not sure, but...

I found this whilst digging through my old code. When I first started calc coding, I decided to try and do an Elite clone, which is eventually what lead me trying to do 3D.

I actually managed to get it to assemble (after much poking and prodding), so I thought I'd upload it. The source is too embarrassing to release

Let's just say I would do things very differently now.

All it is is just a galaxy map with planet info. Use the cursors to move the cross hairs. ENTER will snap to the nearest planet or bring up the data sheet if already on a planet. ENTER will also return to the map. CLEAR exits from program (only from the map screen, though).

Anarchy was a pretty good Elite style game, except for that stupid memory corruption bug.

Which was fixed by you, wasn't it?

yep, it was. The programmer used inc (hl) at one point instead of inc hl.

Always nice to see what might have been.

Still nice, but I would love to see it reworked with what you know now

Hehe... yeah, well I'd need a fully functional 3D engine first. It's certainly on the ideas list, though.
