  • Aboard the Impulse Train: an Analysis of the Two- Channel Title Music Routine in Manic Miner Kenneth B
    All aboard the impulse train: an analysis of the two- channel title music routine in Manic Miner Kenneth B. McAlpine This is the author's accepted manuscript. The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40869-015-0012-x All Aboard the Impulse Train: An analysis of the two-channel title music routine in Manic Miner Dr Kenneth B. McAlpine University of Abertay Dundee Abstract The ZX Spectrum launched in the UK in April 1982, and almost single- handedly kick-started the British computer games industry. Launched to compete with technologically-superior rivals from Acorn and Commodore, the Spectrum had price and popularity on its side and became a runaway success. One area, however, where the Spectrum betrayed its price-point was its sound hardware, providing just a single channel of 1-bit sound playback, and the first-generation of Spectrum titles did little to challenge the machine’s hardware. Programmers soon realised, however, that with clever machine coding, the Spectrum’s speaker could be encouraged to do more than it was ever designed to. This creativity, borne from constraint, represents a very real example of technology, or rather limited technology, as a driver for creativity, and, since the solutions were not without cost, they imparted a characteristic sound that, in turn, came to define the aesthetic of ZX Spectrum music. At the time, there was little interest in the formal study of either the technologies that support computer games or the social and cultural phenomena that surround them. This retrospective study aims to address that by deconstructing and analysing a key turning point in the musical life of the ZX Spectrum.

  • October 1985-86
    The New Wave of Educational Software. (Guest Editorial) Braun, Ludwig (October 1985). The new wave of educational software. (Guest Editorial.) The Computing Teacher. Eugene, OR: ICCE. Introduction Explorations of the computer as a tool to help students learn have been going on for about a quarter of a century. During most of that time most of the energy expended has been focused on pre-college students. Probably 90 percent of the available educational software addresses this group of students. During this same period, there has been a great deal of research on the computer's effect on rate of learning and retention of learned material. In both areas, the computer has had a dramatically positive effect, even though almost all of the research has focused on drill and practice applications. There also have been small efforts to assess the impact of learning to program a computer on the development of problem-solving ability, and the effective use of simulations-again with positive results. Despite these very positive research results, we have only begun to realize the computer's potential to help students. There are two reasons for this long gestation period: • Until recently, computers were sufficiently costly that they were available to students only on a limited basis; and • Only during the past three to five years have we learned enough about the development of creative learning environments to take advantage of the computer's great potential . Until three years ago, most of the applications of computers in education consisted of teaching programming, or using drill and practice programs to teach facts.
