So my Easter #RC2014 / #RC2040 project is getting The Valley to run under CP/M using VTxxx terminal emulation.
I'm basing it on the second (full-fat) version I wrote for the UK101 in 2022 - https://z80.timholyoake.uk/retrochallenge-2022-10/
Biggest obstacle is replacing all of the display POKES/PEEKS with suitable VTxxx escape codes and keeping track of where the player is.
I'm starting off in Microsoft BASIC, but it would be nicer to have something in Turbo Pascal eventually. Maybe!

A #RetroComputing conundrum.
Which is faster at running my solution to day 4, part 2 #AdventOfCode 2023 in Turbo #Pascal 3.01A?
Real Z80 based hardware represented by my #RC2014, or my #RC2040 based on a Pi Pico emulating an RC2014?
There's only one way to find out ... #Fight !
