I'm really proud to present my fully documented source code for Elite on the Commodore 64.
This is the original 1985 source, recently released by Ian Bell, with every single line of code explained.
It’s a thing of beauty. Enjoy!
@markmoxon I played Elite on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Loved it. Posts like this are making me look at getting Elite Dangerous & reliving those days.
@pasavito Elite Dangerous is great fun! It has a really similar feel to the original, but the learning curve is just as steep - it’s not a perfect game, but in VR in particular it’s astonishing. If you’re on a PC it’s always going on sale on Steam - definitely worth a punt when it’s discounted. And it’s still being developed, which is impressive after a whole decade.
@markmoxon and I found out it’s not on macos. I’ll dig out an old PC over Christmas & hope it’s got enough oomph to run Elite.
@pasavito Yeah, it was on macOS originally but they dropped it some years ago. That’s how I got started with E:D.
I think the PC requirements are pretty modest, so fingers crossed!
