  • So What's the A6 Computer from STD Really Like?
    Front cover and reprint by kind permission of Qercus magazine. So what's the A6 computer from STD really like? (A reprint from Qercus issue 268) The A6 What is the A6? The A6 is a new generation of RISC OS computer. It is based around a high-specification PC running Windows XP. An emulation environment called VirtualRPC enables this machine to appear to RISC OS as if it is a traditional RiscPC machine, and so normal RISC OS applications can be run. Can I run all RiscPC applications? Virtually all, yes. The exception are those which rely on direct access to the parallel or serial ports such as the dongled versions of Impression, although the non-dongled versions work fine, and some modem diallers - internet connections are provided by the emulation environment via the internal modem or network interface. How fast? The A6 will generally run user applications much more quickly than the fastest StrongARM RiscPC. Applications which rely on the transfer of large amounts of data, such as DTP or graphics manipulaton will perform faster still. Such applications also benefit from 8MB of "VVRAM", which means that large screenmodes in true colour are no problem. Our new A6+ offers further enhancements and even better performance - see the last page of this leaflet for details. You're biased! Yes, we are - we specified the A6 to offer an ideal RISC OS emulation environment and we're proud of our achievements. But don't take our word for it - enclosed is a copy of a review of the A6 computer which originally appeared in Qercus issue 268.

  • Using Your Desktop
    Valade_06.qxd 3/31/05 2:58 PM Page 73 CHAPTER 6 Using Your Desktop inux provides two basic types of interface for you to use when working with your computer: GUI (graphical user interface) and CLI (command-line interface). An L overview of the interface types is provided in Chapter 5. In this chapter, the most common type of interface, a GUI called a desktop, is discussed in detail. The CLI is dis- cussed in detail in Chapter 7. Linux can start without a desktop, but most users prefer to have Linux start with a desk- top. The installation instructions provided in Chapter 4 result in a desktop opening at startup. A desktop interface functions as the top of your desk, supplying an empty work- ing surface and a set of tools. Different distributions provide different desktops, but most provide KDE (K Desktop Environment) and/or GNOME (Gnu Network Object Model Environment)—the Big Two of Linux desktops. The default desktop differs by distribution. For instance, Fedora defaults to GNOME, and Mandrake/SuSE defaults to KDE. However, you can change the default once you decide which desktop you prefer. KDE and GNOME are open source software, each developed in a project of its own. New versions are released independently of Linux releases or the release of any specific Linux distribution. As a result, different distributions include different KDE and/or GNOME versions. In addition, KDE and GNOME are very configurable. Almost everything about them can be changed. Consequently, KDE and GNOME don’t look exactly the same in different distributions or versions of distributions.

  • Rewriting History
    Remembering Repton: An alternative history of co-creativity in 1980s Britain Alison Gazzard Abstract This article explores some of the histories of player creativity in the 1980s through the inclusion of early level editors in games. Drawing on Huhtamo’s (2011) media archaeological framework of tracing “alternative histories” the article will trace the histories of level editors in games created for the BBC Micro through the case studies of Repton 3 (Superior Software 1986) and Repton Infinity (Superior Software 1987). Whereas current writing about fan practices and user-generated content by players focuses on the online possibilities of creating and sharing, this paper recognises these practices inherent in offline spaces. Using archival documents from magazine articles and reviews, the concept of player as producer and the role of user-generated content will be re-examined as a way of exploring another facet of this history. Keywords Co-creativity, level editor, microcomputing, BBC Micro, 1980s, platform ***** Introduction “In the field of game studies and within the consumer market we rarely (or are only beginning to) attend to videogames […] in terms of their aging, deterioration, obsolescence, ruinous remains, or even history…” (Guins 2014, p.5) In the opening pages of Raiford Guins’ book Game After (2014) the author notes how there are histories of games within game studies but these have been unintentional anecdotes and _____________________________________________________________ Kinephanos, ISSN 1916-985X Cultural History of Video Games Special Issue, June 2015, www.kinephanos.ca Remembering Repton: An alternative history of co-creativity in 1980s Britain not always written as the sole purpose of the text.

  • Raspberry Pi 400
    Advertisement 40 years of improving on the best. In 1981 the first BBC Microcomputer was released with 16K RAM, 8 colours, and a clock speed of 2MHz. Over the next 40 years a pedigree of fast machines running the world’s best operating system, RISC OS, appeared. We won’t bore you with the rest of the facts. Except to tell you about the latest computer. Which runs RISC OS*, of course. It has 253,952 as much RAM, 2 million more colours, runs 900 times faster, and is 10 times lighter than the BBC Microcomputer. BBC Microcomputer Model A. 8 colours, 16K RAM, 2MHz, 3700g.

Amongst the gloom of the pandemic, there’s something to look forward to in 2021 and that’s 40 years of the BBC Micro. Incredible to think the little beige machine and its sucessors like the Archimedes and RISC OS introduced many people to computers and programming in a fun way, your editor being just one! Were it not for that I doubt I would have been remotely interested in computers as they’d just be drab, inaccessible things running horrible operating systems.

  • Raspberry Pi
    Raspberry Pi i Raspberry Pi About the Tutorial Raspberry Pi, developed by Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom, is a series of small single-board computers and perhaps the most inspiring computer available today. From the moment you see the shiny green circuit board of Raspberry Pi, it invites you to tinker with it, play with it, start programming, and create your own software with it. Earlier, the Raspberry Pi was used to teach basic computer science in schools but later, because of its low cost and open design, the model became far more popular than anticipated. Audience This tutorial will be useful for people of all ages especially students who want to take their first step in computer science. The reader can be a beginner or an advanced learner. Prerequisites The readers must have basic knowledge about Linux and Python programming language. They should also be aware of the basics of electronic circuits.

  • Emulation by Gerald Fitton
    Emulation by Gerald Fitton Lust, thro’ some certain strainers well refin’d, Is gentle love, and charms all womankind: Envy, to which th’ ignoble mind’s a slave, Is emulation in the learn’d or brave: Nor virtue, male or female, can we name, But what will grow on pride, or grow on shame. Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) An Essay on Man: Epistle II (1733) Alexander Pope Alexander Pope was an 18th-century English poet, best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of Homer. In his Essay on Man he suggests that, rather than feel envious of someone else’s superior abilities or their situation, we should regard them as an example to be emulated. Through emulation rather than envy there are times when the pupil overtakes their master to become better than the person whom, initially, they were seeking to emulate. Is this what has happened to RISC OS? Building a Computer I am sure that, like me, many of you will have built a Windows Desktop computer from parts. I have a vague recollection of reading a series of articles in Archive describing how to do it. The components are: a tower, usually complete with power supply and control buttons; a motherboard usually complete with a CPU, heatsink, fan, ports for ethernet, mouse, keyboard and USB connections; 2 or 4 strips of RAM which are plugged into the motherboard; often, but not always, there is a separate graphics card and, less often these days, a separate sound card; the component list is completed with a DVD writer, one or more hard drives and, rarely these days, a floppy disc drive.
