Some little progress on my #cga adventure RPG. This one shows that triggers can print stuff on the console, as well as uncover part of the map (e.g. when interacting with the statues).
This clip was recorded from Dosbox Staging, but I also tested it on an 8086 8Mhz with 512Kb of RAM (via 86Box) and basically works at the same speed.

The image features two individuals standing outdoors in a garden setting. They are both wearing matching red outfits with long sleeves and black belts. The person on the left has a long beard and is wearing sunglasses, while the person on the right is wearing glasses. Both outfits have a similar design, with a V-neckline and a flower detail on the waist. The background includes lush greenery and blooming flowers, with a clear blue sky and some clouds visible. A green bag with the text "Charity" is placed on the grass to the left of the individuals. The scene is bright and sunny, suggesting a pleasant day.

The image depicts a futuristic spacecraft in flight, set against a backdrop of a blue, icy surface with scattered debris. The spacecraft is predominantly white with red and black markings, including circular targets on the wings. It features a sleek, aerodynamic design with a central cockpit and two large wings extending from the sides. The wings have a triangular shape with a pointed tip, and the fuselage is rounded at the front. The spacecraft appears to be in motion, as indicated by the streaks of light and debris trailing behind it. The overall design suggests advanced technology, possibly for space exploration or combat.

Nestlé obligé de retirer les filtres illégaux de ses usines d’ #Hépar, Vittel, #Perrier et #Contrex

Après un nouvel épisode de contamination des eaux des marques du groupe #Nestle les préfectures des Vosges et du Gard, départements où sont implantées les sites de production de #Vittel et de Vergèze, donnent deux mois à la multinationale suisse pour retirer ses filtres illégaux. La production d’eau minérale du groupe est menacée.
Si le groupe affirme que « toutes les bouteilles actuellement sur le marché sont conformes » et qu’ « aucun rappel n’a été nécessaire », les autorités sanitaires, elles, s’alarment.
