Seb's Dungeon Adventure

[worcestersource]

Hello everybody,

I'm quite glad I found this place! I've been coding a turn-based dungeon crawler by the name of Seb's Dungeon Adventure (named after my son).







It's being written in Boriel's zxbasic and I'm pretty happy with progress so far. The display code has been rewritten three times to improve speed, display flicker or reduce memory usage. Not sure if I'll end up finishing things but hopefully I will! I'm rather enjoying the challenge.

Cheers,


Steve

Redrawn the main character, added the key, some sound effects and started on the main game loop now there's enough content to make things work.



I'm quite chuffed with the map generation code. As the game progresses, it will generate random maps of increasing size. The engine already has placeholder graphics in place for three different tile sets.

Looks great!
Keep going.

Thanks!

The game loop now enables you to play a level, albeit without monsters and being unable to interact with anything other than the key and the trapdoor but at least you can play through now!

This also happened, which I thought was hilarious. I quite like the wall tiles on the floor, which I'll adopt in the second tileset.



I have some movement code refactoring to do, to reduce the footprint, and to add in diagonals.

A thread elsewhere got me thinking about having another go at working on my game.

Would anybody like to collaborate on the graphics?

Hello friend, I offer myself for whatever you need regarding graphics

So I've started working on this again with Fransoul's help. Here's a screenshot that incorporates his tileset and redesigned barrel.

Playing around with random colour generation now. The outside walls and floors accept random colours. An accident when calculating a variable created some interesting floor colours. I wonder if there's something in this or is the effect too garish?
