Oh! And all I had to do was let the title screen sit there for a bit and it
would have told me for itself! I must be a very infuriating user. I'll
cough to having made the Wikipedia changes if it'll go any way to paying
you back.

 Thanks Rob!  And thanks to whoever updated the Wikipedia pages to mention
my little conversion.

Well, the UK2 DDOS seems to have been sorted now, so I've put the URL back
to www.cookingcircle.co.uk now.

The graphics were first copied pixel for pixel from the speccy version and
then souped up a little, but it was just Flash I used.  Both fonts are
variable width to the pixel (not byte), which is nice to look at but not
very impressive when you see I just saved the fonts twice, one version
scrolled one px to the right!  :D

You're right, the map algorithm mirrors the  speccy one - ie if you haven't
collected any pieces of map, you just get a blank screen when you try to
view it.  *Thomas, *Cursor Up should toggle the map/play view.  It works on
Sim Coupé bnut I haven't got access to a real SAM to check it on.


Thanks for the feedback Thomas - I think I'll revisit the front end to make
it clearer.  Originally there was even less help than I put, but times
change.

Seems to work fine for me, not come across any bugs yet...  The map
screen only has something to see if you've collected map pieces
otherwise it's just a blank screen, maybe this was the problem?

It's still as frustratingly brain twisting as ever and the
presentation is way better than the speccy version!  I'd be interested
to know if that's all your own work or have you based this on a 16-bit
version?

All in all, this is definitely going to be booted up every time the
Sam comes out to play!

Thanks again!

Rob.
