I'm afraid it is a breakout clone

Post by peterz »

Dear all,

I'm writing to let you know that I will be attending the ZX-team meeting in Germany next saturday. To have something to do to prepare for the meeting, I started writing a game using the excellent IDE that I found on the forum. A word of warning, though: I'm afraid it is the inevitable breakout clone... I wouldn't be surprised to see a "No breakout clones" sign at the meeting, but before you decide to cancel my registration and remove me from the forum, I must say I think it is a pretty good breakout clone: it's got ZXpand sound and joystick support, levels of increasing difficulty, multi-hit bricks, etc. A "playable demo" is attached. I hope to finish the game before the meeting, but I will probably be adding the final levels on the spot.

In any case, I'm looking forward to being there next week!
-- Peter Z.

Thanks for giving it a try guys! I don't feel so bad about having written a breakout clone anymore.

That's what I thought too.

How exactly the entire matter ended?
is there already an official version of the game, with music and so on?

Greetings,
Yerz
