This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

"What is more spooky than a spook?"
This program simulates several floating apparitions haunting a derelict hilltop castle by the light of a full moon.
Details
=======
The application !Spook contains nine files
!Boot and !Run - obvious
!Help - this file!
!Sprites - !Spook's icon
Blood - The blood red intro text
Haunt - spooky tune by BS
QTMModule - THE Player (Thanx to Phoenix/QUANTUM)
Spook - the main program
Sprites - the hill, ghost and moon sprites
Blood
-----
This uses a PROCedure [PROCBlood_Text(text$,X,Y,Xtextsize,Ytextsize,t�,t�,t�)] which plots the string text$ centred around X at height Y
The text (size: Xtextsize,Ytextsize) is plotted, blurred t� times, then, after a pause of t��centiseconds, is blurred another t� times.
Spook
-----
All routines in ARMCode unless otherwise specified
i) Static sprites: the moon and the hill
These are plotted using two custom sized sprite plotters
ii) Reflection
This takes every fourth line of the top 4/5ths of the screen and reproduces it in the bottom fifth. To add movement to the reflection, tables of vertical offsets are used.
iii) Stars
Special Features: Stars are only plotted over a blank pixel, which means the sprite plotters in i) don't have to use transparent.
The locations in screen memory of the stars are not calculated every time they are plotted: stars start off in random positions and move along the screen memory until they hit the end. When this happens they are put back to the start (thanks to the AU Demo writing series for the technique - but NOT the code. All code (apart from QTMPlayer) is original)
iv) FastCLS
This is an ARMCode routine to clear the necessary part of the screen (ie the top 4/5thS)
And Finally, but most importantly...
v) Ghost
Before the mainloop begins, the ghost sprite from the file "Sprites" is rotated and scaled according to the variables NumberOfSteps% and NumberOfSpooks%. For <NumberOfSpooks%> different sizes of ghost <NumberOfSteps%> copies are made, each one rotated 360/NumberOfSteps% degrees more than the previous one.
During the mainloop:
Each ghost is moved (using a BASIC procedure) and plotted (using an ARMCode one). There are two versions of the Spookplotter (See below...). The fast one simply increase the tint of pixels it is "plotting" over, whereas the slower one increase the red, green and blue elements of the pixel. How much they are increased by depends upon the colour of the sprite at that particular point, which is why the sprite is composed of colours 0-3 only.
Customisation
=============
You can change the following to suite your machine's speed/memory *and* your preference.
NumberOfSteps% - see above
NumberOfSpooks% - see above
fast% - if TRUE, then use the faster sprite plotter (see above)
GN% - the number of ghosts haunting your screen
ReflectionSpeed- how fast the water ripples (I have included this because when you increase the number of ghosts, the ripple speed decrease - this, at least, gives you some control)
***see the PROCedure PROCChangableVariables***
