ZxSim

Initially this project is a showcase of my abilities to write code using C# and DotNet libraries, along with Design Patterns and SOLID techniques.

The project itself is a bunch of libraries that make porting Spectrum games easier using C#. Originally I would use a popular UI and write code emulating the Z80. However over time those UIs would come out of favour or not compile on a modern OS, so the first aim is portability. The current examples will use Godot to display and control the game.

Next is re-usability, broken up into separate scopes there is a natural layer of usage. Along with all this is some code to handle the original games data and to emulate some of the routines found in the original Z80, such as sprite blitting and room drawing. These will be broken into small plug-in classes which will allow future changes to use PNGs for the graphics instead of simple pixel drawing. This way the code can improve over time.
