Mark Moxon documents his process of hacking the BBC Micro version of Elite (the 6502 Second Processor edition) to support two-player gameplay. The project required significant modifications including splitting the space view, implementing geometry and rotation matrices for a second player's perspective, and adjusting target calculations and controls.
Background
Elite, the 1984 space trading/combat simulation by David Braben and Ian Bell, was originally designed as a single-player game on the BBC Micro. This article by retro computing enthusiast Mark Moxon is part of his software archaeology work preserving and modifying classic British microcomputer software.
