Shoot.

Post by Shaun_B »

Hi,

I'm working on a game called Shoot. The object of the game will be to shoot moving objects on the screen. As soon as I have a basic engine working, I'll let you know as I'll need testers for it.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Now I wonder if anyone feels brave enough to write some AY sound effects to go with the game and add ZXpand joystick support.... :)

I don't know anything about sound effects, or sound, or music... after all, I am a musician. So it won't be me.

I need to get a ZXPand so I can test stuff I think... and probably a new ULA or something.

Regards,

Shaun.

There is a EightyOne Version with ZXPAND support. Maybe it is cheaper to use this for testing ZXPAND-support?
AY is also included, what about Joystick? Already in there, sirmorris? Otherwise, would you see a possibility to get it in?
By the way, could EO support Andy's ULA extensions :roll: :?:

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

There's no joystick support in EO currently. I don't suppose it would be too hard but the main thing would be finding the time to implement it.

I'm sure that with enough hacking the ULA extensions could be supported - however I don't think that I'll be adding them ... see reason above ;)

Progress has been a little slower than I'd hoped, but I'll need some play-testers soon - so nudge me if you want to be one of those.

Thanks,

Shaun.

He did find the time :mrgreen: see here:

So if you don't own a zxpand but would like to try out the game this eo-version would help.

I'm not sure that my game will work with a single-button joystick, so this one will be keys only. Maybe my next game that I'm thinking about (it'll be another shooty thingy).

Regards,

Shaun.

Okay, final stages now... any takers for play testing?

Thanks,
