Subject: MM/JSW walking and jumping rules

 

Does anyone know if this is documented somewhere? I'm looking to get as close to
the Spectrum as I can with my on-line MM/JSW conversions and just never manage to
get it perfect. I've been through three different version of the general walking/
jumping code, each getting better, but none absolutely spot on (the first attempt
being how I thought it would work, which was as un-Speccy like as it gets, the second
borrowed from Andy Noble's BB version, which was okay, and the third being a
refinement of that, with some bugs replicated but still not close enough). The
alternative route I'm looking to take is to write enough of a Z80 emulator is JavaScript
(should be interesting if nothing else!) to run the Speccy code directly.

Thanks,

Carl.
