SP1 for Z88DK
The news is a bit old now, but I had intended to pass it along here for a few weeks now. Not being a Russian speaker, it's taken me that long to get my registration correct
Anyway, I just wanted to announce that SP1 for Z88DK was released a few weeks ago. SP1 is a flicker-free sprite engine for writing games on the Spectrum in C or assembler. Sprites can be any size and any of five main types: mask, or, xor, load and attribute only. They can occupy any of 256 planes. SP1 contains a large number of functions for collision detection, drawing backgrounds and manipulating sprites that makes it a lot easier to write games.
Along with SP1, z88dk contains, among other things, an IM2 library to register C functions on interrupts, a dynamic block memory allocator for fast and efficient memory allocation, abstract data types like linked-lists and hash tables, and functions for reading the keyboard, many joysticks and mice.
I have started an english language tutorial on http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forum...ad.php?t=11729 that will cover all the features in SP1. I would say it's about half-way through and will take another week to two weeks to be finished.

There are many more interesting libraries coming along that deal with the AY chip, if1 network, data compression, etc. that should make it a lot easier, faster and more fun to develop for the Spectrum, whether that be in C or asm.
