Hi all,
this is of interest only to Spectrum programmers.
I have written a small utility that, given a machine-code program, it generates a TAP file that can be executed with LOAD"". So this is particularly useful for this compo.
The code is inserted in a BASIC line, with the following two advantages compared of using a CODE block:
1) your submission is fully compliant to the one-block rule, and
2) your submission is actually smaller.
The only disadvantage is that the code is at a fixed position, so you may need some relocation routine.
The file momentarily is at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/otto/spe ... in2rem.zip
until it is available on World of Spectrum:
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/
Let me remember that the file size for .TAP files submissions is 25 bytes more than the category limit. So, 1049, 4121 and 8217 bytes.
