      Thank you, Sakis. We are looking forward to organizing 2018 edition, but it is still to early to know details or even if it will be possible. However, we do expect it to happen as it has for latest 5 years. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

        Many thx Ronaldo! Looking forward for 2018 contest! I have a game almost ready now! It is not a complicated game, as I don’t know anything about game programming generally, but i knew some things from Basic in the CPC manuals which i found again and used. Can i suppose that there is no problem if the game does not uses any game engine? i use only basic because it is the only i know! Of course designining everything manually caused much work, but it is almost ready!

    Hello. Very nice announcement. Thank you for mentioning my cpc-dev-tool-chain which inspired cpctelera.

    Just to say that “gesture” is not clear in the english version of the rules. “Gesture” evokes things like saying hello with the hand and/or arms, but software had no hands :-). In original spanish version I see “guiño” which literal meaning translates to “wink” and figurative meaning translates to “allusion”.

    Keep up the good work!

    Hola.
    Hace tiempo se anunció un curso de programación en ensamblador del z80, usando el Amstrad CPC.
    Me gustaría saber si dicho curso se va a realizar finalmente.
    Gracias.

      Aunque tu pregunta no tiene nada que ver con el #CPCRetroDev, podemos confirmarte que sí. Actualmente tenemos en preparación el curso de programación en ensamblador del Z80, del que llevamos meses creando los contenidos y preparando vídeos. Está previsto que la primera parte del curso se publique en septiembre.

      Recibimos muchas preguntas por el curso, así que esperamos que os guste mucho cuando salga. Lo estamos preparando lo mejor que sabemos para que sea un producto de calidad.

      Un saludo.

        Hombre. Algo, algo… yo sí que creo que tiene que ver. Ya que cuando salga el curso, algunos nos lanzaremos a aprender ensamblador para Amstrad y podremos participar en el #CPCRetroDev xD

        Esperaré con ganas el inicio del curso. Muchas gracias y un saludo.
