TRICDEL
=======

TRICDEL is short for "TRIbute Carlo DELhez".

Carlo Delhez was a dutch coder who coded several games, utilities and emulators.
He coded ZX81 emulators for the QL and in DOS.
He also coded a tool to compute how timing perfect an emulator was.

Among the games were RED ANTS and GRAFFITY.
In 2015 Carlo sadly passed away.

His inheritance is great. I always wanted to make a tribute to Carlo.
I made a 1K version of his game GRAFFITY and named it TRICDEL.

In this game you play a graffitypainter (as tribute the player is the letter "C").
You need to paint around each block to mark the block with a star.
All blocks need a star before time runs out. Cleaners are cleaning what you paint.

The game has 12 levels.
Each level is a bit harder.

Code: Select all

Level	 
 1	1 cleaner
 2	2 cleaners
 3	3 cleaners
 4	0 cleaners	1 police
 5	1 cleaner	1 police
 6	2 cleaners	1 police
 7	1 cleaner			1 brush
 8	2 cleaners			1 brush
 9	3 cleaners			1 brush
10	0 cleaner	1 police	1 brush
11	1 cleaner	1 police	1 brush
12	2 cleaners	1 police	1 brush
Cleaners ("X") only clean what you paint.
The police ("P") will also sent you to jail and you lose a live.
You restart a level when the police gets you or time runs out.
A brush ("O") will erase the blocks. You will need to paint the block again when the brush erased the star.

Each finished level will add the remaining time to the score
After 12 levels you will get 1000 points for each remaining live.

Controls:
Q = up
A = down
O = left
P = right
NewLine = start

The policeman does not take a life.
When I collide with him I still have the same lives and I appear in the upper left corner.
Test in sz81 and EightyOne emulators.

You only lose a life when you bump into the police, not when police bumps into you. That would need an extra test which is not that simple. So you found the only escape to the police.

I have played again and the policeman never takes my life.

I will add the second test to the game and try kill by police again.

Updated version now placed.

CURRENT VERSION CRASHES WHEN "C" ACCIDENTLY IS PRESSED.

New version works, but I am shortening the code even more to see if more can be coded.
