So, having the control set option on the instructions page is fine, would help if I reflected the choice within the game scroller ! 😅
This was more of a pig, as a lot of the scroller text is pre-compressed, so couldn't patch it after loading. A lot of data rejigging, but it's all done ! 🙄

The ZX:/ is definitely my preferred set, always has been. AZ<> just doesn't feel comfortable. I wonder why these keys became the norm, and why on a lot of Spectrum games it was QWERT, which I could never get the hang of !

The flu still lingers, but just started again with Chuckulus.... Found a bug that I swear wasn't there when I got ill. What's the 'GO!' bubble doing over there ??! 🙄
Put in a key control set option, so you can choose between 'ZX:/ RETURN' and '<>AZ SPACE' to control Harry ! Which would you choose?

Me too ! Odd that at the Cambridge Retro Fest last month there were quite a few players who seemed to prefer the default AZ<> keys ! 🤷

Found it already - I was messing with the DUCK screen locator before, which the 'GO!' bubble sprite plot proc uses (probably doesn't need to anymore !)🙄

Yes, I thought I'd try a Mode 1 version - fairly speedy I guess !
The 4 colour stuff confused me a little at first, but I soon remembered how to go about it !
