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.

The usual arrangements

Meetings are free and everyone is welcome, no booking required, just turn up at the pub. Zoom attendees contact us for the link. (If you have attended any of our previous Zoom meetings, it is the same link)

The Duke of Sussex is easily accessible by public transport from in and around London and the south east, and serves a wide range of food and drinks. All meetings benefit from a large screen display, so everyone should have a great view.
