Game Submission

I hate posting two entries on the same day that could easily have been combined into one. I'm a self-loathing kind of guy, so I'll carry on.

After playing about with the ZX Spectrum Emulators that I mentioned a while ago, I decided to submit a game to the annual CSS Crap Game Competition. It's more of a simulation than a game to be honest. It's written in Sinclair Basic, so runs very slowly. Thankfully many modern emulators allow you to speed up the old Speccy to a decent Megahertz-age.

The game is called Langton's Ant. I even made up a cassette inlay for it.

This doesn't look like anything fancy but it took me a while to put together. It took me ages to find a decent picture of an ant. I thought with the size of the interweb and the amount of ants in the world there would be plenty, but I was wrong.

Anyway, if you have a speccy emulator download it and have a go. If you like it a lot you can even transfer it to cassette. Feel free to print the inlay and make it look like a proper Spectrum game.
