In ZX Spectrum DMA modification of Elite the DMA is used only to copy
the buffer to screen area, not for the vector calculations. I never saw
SAM Elite, but I think, it is using Mode 1, right? In this mode SAM is
much slower. The game would work much better in Mode 2 or Mode 4 (with
alternating screens and deleting only used pixels).
Roger, please use "*.*" and "*,*" characters in messages. This will make
them easier to read.

tasonc has three programs
1 basic loader to be saved to the +d disc
2. basic you might need to add a pause statement in here if using
an emulator
3 the code
the screen should whipe down from the top and you need to be in 48
basic on the 128 for some bizzarre reason?

Didn't the entirety of Take That, with Robbie, once play
Bomberman on
a single Amiga on Gamesmaster? That must have been at
least three on
the keyboard, assuming I didn't make it up.
Ant Attack would actually work really well on the Sam.
I've never seen
the original code, but by my reckoning it's a forward
raycast into a
triangle grid - Ant Attack having only one size and look
of block. So
it'd be really cheap to compute the minimal set of pixels
that must be
replotted to perform a scroll while leaving the same
coloured blocks
alone.
Don't think it's a 16kb game though - I stole the map for
a PC game
once & I think that may have been 16kb on its own.
