The ultimate in such utilities was Supercode which contained routines for doing everything from scrolling the screen to producing sound effects, containing 102 machine code programming aids.\r\n\r\nMany of the routines are useful in games writing, letting you scroll in eight directions in highor low-resolution or the attributes. Other routines produce a number of sounds and there are also six ways of protecting a program, including ON ERROR, GOTO and ON BREAK GOTO.\r\n\r\nAll the usual toolkit of routines are available, block delete, remkill, compress and two kinds of re-number, plus other useful utilities such as hex-dec converters, hex loader, tape head reader and many more. There is even one which accents letters.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"50,51","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"John Gilbert","Score":"8","ScoreSuffix":"/10"}],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Gilbert Factor","Score":"8/10","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
