I was thinking of adding WASD keys but that clashes with QAOP which is more 'traditional', IMHO. I'll probably add redefinable keys in a future update. I don't know anything about Amstrad machines, so no idea if anything like this is possible there.
EDIT: Would ESDF do? It's the same basic configuration but just shifted over one.

[mention]MrPixel[/mention] there's a new update here adding ESDF controls in addition to the old QAOP and 5678 controls.
Re: Crap Game: Snake but the only instruction is LD
what about I,j,k,l or plain arrow keys. i'm on a latop so the traditional 5,6,7,8 keys are in a straight vertical line, not marked. good game though. i'm amazed that you were able to pull this off. won't run in zxspin assembler thoughdjnzx48 wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 12:46 am I was thinking of adding WASD keys but that clashes with QAOP which is more 'traditional', IMHO.

Re: Crap Game: Snake but the only instruction is LD
so, the base game is good, impressive even. however, the snake lacks any sort of ability to reverse direction. maybe add in some sort of bumper (like in sonic CD in Collision Chaos) that would help the snake reverse direction. also, some music. take advantage of the Spectrum 128's capabilities and create something suitable. i would also suggest you remove the ground barriers as well as the ceiling as i had some trouble with them. your decision but keep it in mind. happy coding
Re: Crap Game: Snake but the only instruction is LD
Yeah there are probably too many obstacles, I spent about 5 minutes making the layout for the game so it could definitely be improved. I'd like to add music but there's no way to play it with just the LD instruction, so it would have to be done with some ROM routine and things could get quite tricky. Not sure quite what you mean about reversing direction?

That's great! Ruddy brilliant screen by R-Tape, love the snake/logo and the background is just clever as hell.

Re: Crap Game: Snake but the only instruction is LD
It's cheating, loading a screen like that. It should load a block of LDs that then draw the screen!
