Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

This could be used to recreate the Atari 8 bit game Diggerbonk. It was a fun little game that could be worth doing a ZX81 version of.

Looks like a similar algorithm to the one I used for my 3D Skeleton Maze game.

Looks very good. Nice work.

My mistake, I thought it was lo res. In any case, a great game especially with only 1K to play with. I'll keep an eye out for two more reviews by anybody else and write another.

I write a quick review - I choose Game 26, Snake. This is the classic game where the snake gets longer and longer as you move around the screen. Don't bash into the sides, top or bottom. L starts the game. The controls are Q/A for up/down. O/P for left and right. There is only you on the field, no r...

I sympathise. I put a lot of effort into my games too and don't get a lot of feedback. Are people interested or not? It's not worth writing new stuff if nobody cares. I'll download your file and have a look.

I've been working on a 3D game using the same maze design as 3D Monster Maze. I didn't steal any actual code from 3D Monster Maze. I just used screenshots to work out the maze dimensions. No point in reinventing the wheel. This games had nods to both 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs with things like the '...

Looks good, I like the game over sequence. I'll have to read up on how to play this game. I had no idea what I was doing.

I wrote the base 1k game. It was called Chain Reaction. It's posted here somewhere. It wasn't in hi-res of course.

Got it, thanks. Will check it out later.

To answer some questions: It's written in flat assembler, so machine code with a basic front end. The Basic actually gives you the maze generation routine and the address of the maze data, so it you want to use it for something, you've got what you need. It runs find on Eightyone emulator set to 16k...
