Wow, Alessandro!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Always ahead!

On the mainly green screen with the first charge to collect, it's not possible to collect the key unless you leave the screen (at the top) and return.

Is that bug or am I missing a feature?

[R-Tape]

Completed. Nice to manage that on bread and water (no cheats or snapshots).

It's good, straightforward fun, and very short. At first I thought some of it was unfair, like the ammo/time limit, and the infernal diagonal baddies, but after a few plays I realised that these are part of the fun. You can learn tricks to avoid shooting, or use ammo more effectively by shooting when the baddy is moving away from you, so that the collision time is longer and it needs less bullets. And it's not often you see a decent boss in an AGD game. You can't mess about when the bomb is activated—you've got to move pretty efficiently to get back in time.

The key collection is a bit bugged on some screens, but if you stand on the key for longer, or move about the screen a bit, it seems to collect.

One day, they'll invent a bomb to destroy an alien planet with a longer fuse, or some kind of remote trigger, until that day, the games will be more fun

Thumbs up. Looking forward to your next game.

Hi, David!
I guess that's a bug. I have tried to fix it in different ways, but always the same.
The game is made in AGD 4.8, and Jonathan told that this version contains some bugs, so I deduce that perhaps this is one of them.
Although it is also probably due to my inexperience.

Thank you so much, R-Type!
As your can see, enemies have a counter between 3 and 5 to be destroyed; except de tough boss (he needs 50). I toyed with the possibility of making the bullet an event, but got none...
And so, as I told you before, the key issue got me crazy.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Cheers!!

Oh I didn't realise AGD 4.8 was out.

And so, as I told you before, the key issue got me crazy.

Why not make the your latest development snapshot of the game available. Perhaps someone could help with the key bug.

It's an experimental untested version that Jonathan released about one year ago as legacy before concentrating all of his efforts on the Windows multi-platform edition.

HI.
Updated UFO on https://packobilly.itch.io/ufo
Fixed the key bug.
Jonathan recommended me to do the Custom check in the player event. I have tried several times and there is not any issue.
Thank you so much, R-Type!
Cheers!

Interesante propuesta, Druellan!
Bien gestionado el Basic.
Este AsteroideZX sabe bien cómo compartir su conocimiento.
Enhorabuena!

Este AsteroideZX sabe bien cómo compartir su conocimiento.
Enhorabuena!

Lo que AsteroideZX está haciendo para promover la programación en Basic es impresionante, porque no sólo comparte los conocimientos, sinó que además ha gestado una comunidad entusiasta que incentiva la creación de estos trabajos, que para muchos es el primer juego que hacen en el ordenador de su infancia, algo que me alegra el día inmediatamente.

Sorry the Spanish

Kerl just told me he updated his game Firesnake https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... d=35231and he would like to have the latest version hosted on SC
The new version can be found here: http://www.bytemaniacos.com/ficheros/co ... esnake.zip

Since it seems to have been overlooked it the latest site update, I'll go a head and plug it here: Mostly Harmless - an Elite save game editor. Could someone be a champ and add it with the next update, thanks!

You need to have the original Alicia.z80 file and then apply the patch file via Delta Patcher to translate it to English.

This is the original game:

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=5942

But I've got a MAC and have no idea how to apply an .xdelta file to a z80.

Done! The original game is this one: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=5941

Magenta Jim and the Coins of Doom



You are a purple chap, first name James, and you need to collect the coins of doom against the clock, while pursued by what we are pleased to call "the Cylon Ghosts". A rather decent AGD maze game from Gaz Marshall.

If anyone's in touch with the author, could they check the distribution permission of this game (i.e can we host the .TAP file at SC after the next ZXDB update? )

Note if linking download elsewhere please use the link above, not the file one itself (as the latter is dynamic and it won't stay working for too long)

Will be keeping a top-x scores record on its discussion topic on the jswmm site too.

Here's a little open source Tic tac toe game for ZX Spectrum. Download it here:
http://teutoburgo.tk/giochi/indexgiochiEnFrame.html
The .zip archive contains also the BASIC source, the .tzx and the .tap
The license is GNU GPL, so it is freely redistributable.
Enjoy it!

This is the official release of my NEW ZX81 EMULATOR for the 48K ZX Spectrum.
Fully software and much faster than my emulator from 1997.
The old emulator is also included.
