Oric SDK

First working version of the SoundEffectEditor: It's more like a sound engine test really, there's no way to edit the sounds other than by editing the content of soundeffectplayer.s

Added a .editorconfig file so Visual Code stops putting tabs everywhere.

Replaced the audio engine and IRQ by the code of the SoundEffectEditor, and now the typewriter intro uses the TypeWriter sound instead of the standard Oric ROM keyclick.

Still not super realistic, but at least it sounds different.

Replaced the text based "teletype" display of the story by some hires equivalent with a moving piece of paper.
This requires some serious optimization (way too slow right now), but this version is relatively clean, so committing it as a working reference before starting to move to assembler.

Replaced the disk code by the one from Blake's 7, this provides Telestrat and Jasmin (to be tested) compatibility, as well as saving code.
The high scores are now managed properly in the game, if the player beats any of the scores their name is requested, the score inserted, and the file is saved back to disk.

Padded the high score table to an uncompressed 512 bytes file in preparation for the saving code.

Added the "Frisk" (and a "Search" synonym for it) to allow searching the thug for weapons.
Also fixed the location of the various "hidden" object to actually be in a set "NONE" location (set to 255) instead of the magic number 99.
Added a way to bypass the token verification on the AskInput (not used right now, but will be necessary to ask the player name in the High Score saving)
Also re-centered a bit the clock display toward the center of the screen.

Added graphics for the intro (typewriter, private investigator office, new font)

TapeRipper 2.1: Added support for SLOW mode tapes

tap2dsk: Fail is called with a single argument

This avoids silently overwriting the source file with a blank disk
image, then later trying to convert it to a DSK and crashing.

Removed the unused images for the thug and dog.
Double the cross fade speed by skipping some of the animation frames.
The clock now advances by 10 second during each animation phase of the cross fade.

Extracted the bits of the thug sequence into a new mask image, and modified the master bedroom to only have an empty bed.
Added script commands to display the proper appearance of the thug based on the status of the game.
Modified the script to change the description of the dog and thug to reflect the status of the items.

Removed the bottom part of the lower case 'f' character in the fancy font (this requires fixing all the texts containing 'f')

Added the schematics for Mageco's MIDI interface (compatible Oric, Spectrum and C64)

Added a few more macros to make the scripts more readable.
Added commands to check the status of items flags, and used it to script the three different states of the dog (guarding, dead, attacking)

Added some macros to make the game script more readable.

And the missing image... not sure why these two files were missing, must have done something dumb while doing the cleaning before committing.

Forgot the line that generated the item mask file

Updated the scripting system to allow for conditional jumps and item possession checks
Added the rope and the bucket items, they are now visible on the scene and when taken are removed from the display.
Optimized the loading of sprites to not reload the sheet if already loaded.

Converted the masked sprites routine from C to assembler.
Added a second buffer to load the sprite sheets, as well as a define to disable the cross fades to allow for faster testing.

Restructured the code a bit, moved some tables into unused areas of memory, and extracted the items and locations from an enum and into #defines so they can be used from C or Assembler

Removed references to "disk.s" from the librarian, also added a ".text" to tail.s to ensure that the C compiler stack stays in the main memory block

Added Silicebit's EprOric (Rev A)

ClearTextWindow was not properly erasing the last byte of the TEXT area, effectively leaving the HIRES attribute set by the loader instead of replacing it by a space.

Added support for sprites with masking (temporary code written in C just as a prototype/proof of concept).
Before going farther, the code needs to be restructured and buffers moved to available holes in the memory map.

Added the new "outside the pit" location, between the eastern road and the actual pit.

Modified the byte stream system to actually run with a frame updater: This allows some pseudo-async events while the player is still able to navigate, and do things like delayed displayed or messages.

Added a cross fade routine to transition from scene to scene using a 13 steps 6x6 ordered dithering matrix.
The code is quite violent, it takes 130653 cycles to cross fade a single frame, over 13 frames this takes 130653*13/1000000 = 1.69 second to transition to the new scene

Modified some of the pictures to make the connection between the rooms more logical (like the door between the shower room and the guest room)

And the last 12 locations now have descriptions as well (first floor of the mansion).
Also fixed some pathing error between the shower room and the guest bed room
