Poslern's 3-Deep Space (or theBBC B is ihe first 'slereoBcopic'3D game I've ever seen on apopular micro. It is supplied or

tape in [wo pans, the fitsi inBASIC to set up the 3D back-ground, and Ihe second inmachine code to actually get

all the objects moving at a

II loaded first time witli no

errors, the landscape genera-

tor loading up first giving youreyes a chance to adjust to theeffecl. Well, on my monitor atleast, il worked up to a point.Something wasn't quite right,

because when I moved myhead, the object (urthesi awaymoved fastest!The point where a brief mes-

sage |"S to Start") appearedwas where the game began lo(all apart. The instructions hadneglected to mention whichkeys to use. but I eventually

found them by trying all thepossible contenders.

The game itself consists ofnasties, who move in one ofeight 'depths', coming towardsyou Iroiti the right-hand side ofthe screen, moving up anddown (but not in and oul) al

regular intervals. You must siton the left-hand side of Ihescreen, moving in and ouf.firing a 'bolt' allhe nasties. If anasty hits you when you areboth at the same depth, youlose. Predictably, this gets alittle boring aftera while, asthemarauding aliens take nomoreexotic shape than simple dia-monds. I guess the author(Mike Singleton) used so muchmemory getting theeffect righfthat he tan out of space forsuch desirable amenities ascomplicated aliens. The aliensdochange shape at a setscore,however, so all isnol lost— butyou only get one 'life', there'sno high score sheet, and Ithought he really missed anopportunity tor a Defeider-

style explosionin 3D.The gameplay seems to have

taken second place to the gim-mick, but nevertheless this

program is still worth lookingat. Literally. -A.G,

Tricky Transference

How this system works. . . Assembly

code is entered and edited solely on theBBC. When the time comes to assemble,the encellent built-in BBC assembler isused. The resultant machine code is firstput in a buffer, then (unless you're assem-bling for the BBC itself) dumped into thememory of the target micro (in this case aCommodore 64 or Oric]. The transferring ofthe machine code is the tricky bit, one thatwill be covered in due course. IWeanwhileI'll get on with explaining just how theassembly system is going to work.
