⁣Elite may be the most complex 8-bit game ever produced. And it was arguably the most groundbreaking game ever released for its time. Back in the early 1980s when arcade-shooters reigned supreme, two undergraduates at Cambridge redefined what computer games even were.

In this video we'll look at some of the technical aspects of how David Braben and Ian Bell were able to construct an entire universe, economy, 3D engine and backstory in 22KB on a 2MHZ processor. This story is well known in the UK, but computer games history is largely told through the lens of the US and Japan....so overseas viewers may not be familiar with the impact Elite had on gaming, and the wider world.

For anyone that wants to give Elite a try, you can play it online here:
https://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=366
Though, I recommend downloading the disc image from that page and running it in 'beebem' (free BBC micro emulator). That way you can save your game.

All footage of Elite is taken directly from my BBC Micro via a capture card.
Blender was used for 3D animations
VSCode with the Beeb VSC extension was used to develop my assembly code
BeebEm was used to run 6502 assembly scripts within the BASIC interpreter

⁣🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Pandemic Protocol is From The Talmud

Social Distancing & Lockdowns are Jewish?

Excerpt:

Social distancing was enforced during the jewish-made Spanish flu epidemic of 1918; an outbreak that supposedly killed forty million people worldwide.

Why are these same measures repeated despite lacking corroborating evidence to support their implementation?

Social distancing, lockdowns and pandemics are from the Talmud and the Hebrew Bible.

The scripture instructs the enforcement:

“Our Rabbis taught: When there is an epidemic in the town keep your feet inside your house.”

(The reason for isolating healthy people and locking them inside despite the need to provide for their families).

(Bava Kamma 60b.)

“As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp”

(This was the reasoning behind vilifying the unvaccinated. The dehumanisation of those considered ‘unclean' is a common trope in jewish history.)

(Lev. 13:46). All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

Comment:

I went to a book signing nearly 30 years ago. The book was God of that New Millenium by Allan Alford. During the Q and A after the signing I told him ‘They’re here, they’re under seas and oceans’.

I know I’m right and would explain USOs and UFOs
