“This is a demo I
originally wrote in April 2020 for the ZX Spectrum Next. I’ve added
little bits here and there, but haven’t got much time to work on it at
the moment although I may return to it at a later date. The main sprite
is mirrored so you are controlling 2 at once.
I’m not gonna be making Mortal Kombat on the Next,
but just having a bit of fun with this demo. Was fun doing this in
BASIC and then just switching in the relevant sprite file for the frame
due to the size of the sprite (2×4, resized from the original arcade
graphics). Considering that is how I am doing the animation it is
running at a decent speed. Useful for learning how to apply it to other
things.
I’ve optimised the code to just over 4k. It’s quite
fun doing this and I may even introduce some fighting moves at some
point although this is just a demo and to help me learn.
This is a runnable directory for the ZX Spectrum Next. All you need
to to is unzip the contents to your SD card and select MK.run and it
will autorun“.
