Tetris DotBAS is the latest WIP project by Francesc ALCAUCER after these two programs also written in Locomotive Basic :
Push it is a new Amstrad CPC reflexion game by Yoann PERRIER that you can download on CPC-Power.
Longshot has released a new version of Amazing Demo and the Amstrad CPC CRTC Compendium which is a documentation about the CRTC 6845 (and some others circuits). Note that the CRTC is a generic component used in several computers including the IBM PC.
He made this demo compatible with all CRTC. The choice of Amazing Demo isnt harmless. A benchmark program : SHAKER (V1.8) comes with the compendium and shows several things stated in the document. Dont hesitate if you have a idea to add something in this document. A english version is being translated at the moment.

After sending a SMS on his Amstrad CPC (with a lot of humor), Kiragregis is back for something else.
This time it's a fois-ci c'est un RS-232 project (using 12 volts whereas a TTL is using 5 volts, like the Usifac) for only 15 euros of electronic components. You can see his RS232 project being showed in video (french inside).
Electronic plans are available in the next message following the video on CPCWiki.
Beware, with this RS232 expansion, dont forget to connect the serial cable with the Amstrad CPC switched OFF !
Merry Christmas 2021, happiness and health for all people you are caring for.
And a lot of new Amstrad CPC software, with also new hardware expansions, I am thinking about the incoming Play2CPC for example.
CATaclysme is an Amstrad CPC utility by Tom et Jerry to transform the catalogue of a disk with a new twist to your Amstrad CPC production like Voyage '93 or The Demo. this new version fixes a bug and simplify the use of the END LOCATE function.
On CPCWiki some time ago I discovered the Amstrad Noob blog with a Youtube channel, but I didnt take time to write about it. It's now done, I recommend to read this blog. The last article is about the RGB2HDMI (youtube video) that I saw already being used by Retro Theory.
The version 3 of the english adventure game Tristam Island by Hugo Labrande is available for 3,99 dollars (25% cheaper starting 20th december). The demo version is limited to the first chapter of the game for a game time estimated to 1 to 1h30 hour which will let you discover the game before buying it if you are interested at this low price.
This adventure game is using the framework used by Infocom's games, the Z-Machine, which was reversed-engineered and documented in the 90s and implemented on dozens of platforms. This is how "Tristam Island" is able to be released on 36 computers (8, 16, 32 and 64 bits), including the Amstrad CPC and PCW. The game uses a library optimized for speed and size, PunyInform by Fredrik Rasmberg and Johan Berntsson.
A french version will be available this coming monday 20th december 2021 with as usual a french demo version.
If you buy either the english of french version, Itch.IO cannot permit to get the other version freely. But with the low price you can buy both : a traduction needs a lot of work and all work merits some payment. But Hugo Labrande will give you a key of the version you didnt buy if you ask him.
