ABOUT ROUGOL
ROUGOL is a not-for-profit organisation consisting of Acorn/RISC OS computer users in London and the south-east. Our aim is to bring those users together. There is no membership fee and entry to all meetings is free. To find out more, email us.
MEETINGS
Meetings are held on the third Monday of every month. Most meetings feature a guest speaker, demonstrating the latest hardware or software, giving tutorials of software both new and old, or simply to kick off discussions on the current hot topic. Entrance is free, so why not come along and say hello?
Next meeting -
Monday 18th August 2025 
Networking Elite - Mark Moxon
This month Mark Moxon will be making his way back to the pub to run through all the projects he's been working on since his previous visit.
The main focus will be explaining how he added Econet support to Archimedes Elite. However to get there he will start with an overview of what that networking support entails (spoiler - sadly it's not full multiplayer games!) and how he first added it to the original BBC Elite.
Mark will then look at his other RISC OS disassembly project which analysed Lander, the first ever Archimedes game that came as a demo with every machine before being released commercially as Zarch. Having documented the code he then modified it to increase the landscape size to create BigLander.
Finally he will cover his latest project, the sideways RAM version of
Electron Elite. This has added back all the BBC features that were
originally cut due to the Electron's reduced memory and processor speed.
This will culminate in a look at the Elite
source code family tree,
showing the development history of Elite.
