This will require 28 MHz Turbo Mode and 2MB of RAM, because I'm officially tired of optimizing things for a while.
@specnext.com I hope that's acceptable for minimum specs (I'm new to ZX Spectrum Next development still so I don't know the community that well).

I reckon 2026 is the year I complete the #ZXSpectrumNext #ZXNext port of my #C64 game Runn 'n' Gunn. I made some rapid progress early in 2025 but didn't have see great change later in the year. This is known to programmers as the 90/90 rule:

Looking at the Lemmings sprites, none of the sprites are bigger than 16x16, so on the #ZXNext they "could" be Hardware sprites now.
When I started we had limited HW sprite support, with only 12 per line, with 100 on a single line now, we could do things differently...
