Work in progress - new Agon/Console8 version
The next development stage was to try out some of the newer features available in the latest version of the VDP firmware 2.7.0, and run in the Agon/Console8 VDP mode instead of Terminal mode. There's some new features which allow me to jump in and out of programmed fonts. The Infocom game which used programmed fonts is Beyond Zork. Armed with the available font and the codes to remove the font again once done, I've been able to make it possible to play Beyond Zork as intended. There's still some minor cosmetic issues I'm working through. This is due to the screen model being implemented differently under the native VDP mode instead of Terminal mode. The minimap and status bars now look much nicer than the ASCII version I've had until now.
