Here's some more information.

I've taken the original, extremely terse source files from the BBC Micro disc images on Ian Bell’s site, and have converted them into a fully buildable source with a full and detailed commentary.

That's 67,000 lines of heavily commented 6502 assembly that explain how this classic game works.

The C64 commentary comes to 246,255 words. The epic novel "Crime and Punishment" contains 211,591 words.

That's an awful lot of commentary; it's a complex game!

And this isn't AI slop or generated comments - it's 100% handcrafted technical analysis. It is a labour of love, and I hope it shows.

My next step will be to add the commentary to my https://elite.bbcelite.com/ website, to sit alongside the Acorn and NES commentaries I've already done.

I'll also write some deep dives into the C64 version, before turning my attention to the Apple II sources that Ian also released.

Right on, Commanders!
