GLUF
Re: GLUF
Finally managed to have a play through of the first 3 levels and yep, as expected, it’s brilliant. Great music, great colours, great animations and a really well thought out game.
Imagine if these multi-coloured games had been released in the 80’s! That would have kept those naysayers about the Speccy colour clash a bit quiet!!

Re: GLUF
I had chance to play it properly only today too.
It's great, what can I say more? It's colourful. It's playable. It has proper difficulty. It has smooth fluent movement or it feels so.
Early multicolor games sometimes felt jerky as they involved horizontal movent by 8 pixels. Here yuo don't see any jerkyness at all.
Good job, Denis !

Re: GLUF
That makes sense. So it isn't possible to edit the levels with charPad and just replace them like with GLUF? Maybe the level-data is more complex in Old Tower? Anyway, a proper Old Tower level editor would be sweet even if 128k only.DenisGrachev wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 2:04 am There is no free memory in 48k version of OldTower, only if for 128k

Haha, poor Denis,
There's only one thing worse than being given post-release bug reports, and that's being given post-release bonus feature requests

Re: GLUF
True, true. It's an excellent game though, taxing puzzles yet simple rules. As I played through the game I was thinking about ideas for new levels.

Re: GLUF
Hi Denis,
another lovely creation! Simple and effective, and very well presented in both visual and sound, as your previous titles.
And a very big thank you for using my SetoLOAD turbo scheme

Hopefully your example will motivate more developers to release their source codes too!!!
Re: GLUF
No they're not preserved at SC. I'm collating them now—they're very decent BASIC games (I'm glad you moved to ASM though!).DenisGrachev wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:50 am just remember that back in 2000 when we buy a pc i'm only preserve a my basic games from "Join" series and save it as z80 snapshots with real spectrum. Still sad that i not save whole cassete as wav or even mp3.
btw, not sure if my basic games are preserver at sc:

Re: GLUF
What a brilliant game! And I am not usually much of a game player either so it goes to show how much this game got me going1 Also thanks to Mr. Moore (I can't remember the rest of your handle, sorry!) for the turbo loader which made life easier.
Took me a while to figure out how to load it because Fuse defaults to 48k and I'm not sure how I finally got it to load so I have it paused for going back to but never mind these little details, this game is fun and its a bit of a puzzler to get going at first - probably old hat to all you gamesters - everything about this is new to me, figuring out the controls, then what to do, then how you get up or down a line, just blindly trying stuff out but the point is it kept me interested enough not to say "Sod this!" and bin it never to return which is my reaction to 99% of games!
So if it gets me this interested it must be a bloody good game! Well done everyone responsible, it looks good, sounds good, in fact its so good I think its going to be HDMI to the big TV to really get the full effect (and P?s? off the wife too but hey, its her turn, I have to put up with her politics crap!)

Re: GLUF
Glad you found my little loader useful!
You choose which machine you wish to use in Preferences > Machine (not sure what it’s called on your OS). There’s a list of different Spectrum models.
I hear you, brother.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.
