Welcome to DIVER 30 PICTURES ART PACK 2024 released in cooperation between
Grongy (main idea, compilation, design), RCL (main code), LeMIC (code, design)
and featuring 30 works of Diver/4D selected by the author himself. Enjoy 3
excellent soundtracks that were kindly provided by Key-Jee/TbK.
Credits should go also to the following people:
- Lethargeek for the excellent Lethargeek Kompakt packer. We have not been able
to beat it (yet?), so we had to use it.
- Einar Saukas for the ZX0 compressor (and decompressor).
- S.V. Bulba for the PT3 player routine (sorry, we ripped out the PT2 part).

Some technical info:
the art pack is for the ZX Spectrum 128K only and has been tested on both real
hardware and a number of emulators. If it has issues on your rig, please find
a way to contact us to report (but also it's probably your rig's fault :P).
We keep in memory
- 105.6 KB of packed Spectrum screens (30+logo)
- 5 KB of binary code
- 3.5 KB of packed music (3 PT3 tracks)
- 1.8 KB of text and control script
- .7 KB for the custom proportional font
in total, ~117 KB of packed data, and we also needed space for the buffers and
the screen. It got pretty tight, our stuff ends 144 bytes from the top of the
stack.

It is our (RCL's and LeMIC's) first ZX Spectrum release in 25+ years. It's so
so good to be back, we missed our beloved Speccy <3
