A downloadable game

This is functionally exactly the same game as EigenBlitz but rewritten using NextBASIC for the ZX Spectrum Next, making use of new control structures and hardware sprites. It still runs on a Z80 at 3.5Mhz (apart from loading data) but is a lot quicker due to these BASIC and hardware improvements.

I didn't bother trying to make the sprites look any better than the ZX Spectrum version this was more an exercise in learning NextBASIC. I really like it so far and I feel like I'm only scratching the surface so I think I'm going to stick with it for a bit and see what else I can come up with!

The .tap file is for use with a ZX Spectrum Next, tested with a MiSTer Multisystem 2.
