After compiling it crashes in line 685. I wonder why ZX Basic did not complains NEXT without FOR.
685 FOR l=1 TO 4:
PRINT AT 19,4; INK 1;l$(l):
FOR a=1 TO 5:
NEXT l:
NEXT a
strange.. to be fair though this game doesn't really need compiling as it runs quite nicely in BASIC.
Sure, I am compiling your games in order to find the errors in my compiler.
I think in this case I should issue an error message. However I wonder how the interpreter handles this.
you managed to get through the Machine code block access to the BASIC code then in this game? LOL, I don't bother putting it in my games now.
I'd love to see some of the finished results, thank you for choosing me as the guinea pig LOL
I loaded it with merge "", so that it does not start.
I have started a gallery for compiled games. If you give me the permission to publish the compiled games I would like to include them. Each entry links to the original, lists some changes (like PAUSE to reduce the speed) or instructions to use float or integer, a GIF and the tap file. Integer is about 30 times faster than float.

Yeah go for it, have you compiled my very first game, 'Speccy'. I have plans to return to it at some point and improve the controls.
Give me an S... S
Give me an A... A
Give me a T... T
Give me another A... A
Give me an N... N
What Does That Spell?
EVERY SINCLAIR SPECCY GAME PROGRAMMER!
