Glad to share this little code, my first try to this kind of challenges (thanks, [mention]patters[/mention] )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14izieb ... p=drivesdk
Game code in just 1 line, wich fits in one single 22 lines screen.
The aim is to save 10 penguins on an ice island, collecting them.
The ice gets broken close to you, so don't step over broken ice.
Controls are E-D up-down, and F-G left-right (like QAOP but adapted due to code restrictions)
The scarce 3 lives are easily changed in the DATA, it is the "c" variable, if anyone needs a bit help.
Hope you like it.

These 1 line programs blow my mind!
I don't know how you guys do it. It's some kind of witchcraft!

Fooling around with the same idea, now penguins move, and they also appear around broken ice:

The aim is to collect as many penguins as you can, before loosing the 3 lives.
Due to code restrictions, some things changed:
-The main character only changes its color.
-Only one creek will appear with every step, instead of two creeks.
-Typing RUN to restart when finishing is needed, without ending message.

Just downloaded the latest version, I'm just amazed at how playable it is. Custom (and cute) graphics, sound and addictive gameplay in 1 line of basic. Might be my favourite one-liner! My current record is 18 penguins.
Great job!
Great job!

Proud to receive such evaluation from a Master like you!
Re: Breaking the Ice - Another 1-line BASIC game
I'm not a master of anything, but I'll take the compliment.
Playable one-liners are an incredibly impressive achievement, the stuff is bordering on witchcraft to me.
Got a new record: 26 penguins!

BTW Ivan, I assume this is still in development. When you think you're done, or done for the moment, could you let me know and I'll add it to ZXDB.
Re: Breaking the Ice - Another 1-line BASIC game
It is difficult to stop squeezing the code over and over, but I think this version will be the last.
So, feel free to add it as it is now. Many thanks for considering it.
