still to come!!!these are my ideas and i am going to put them to work

*** closing in walls, locked rooms(keys needed), Floating Rocks, more intelligent monsters, Sound, map editor, Easy config of colour codes for characters, Exploding bombs, on screen Help (controls, monster points)

[PMACKAY]

Just A little more work done..... time for bed now.

Has Linux Bin file included in zip.---------------------------------------------Build22ndAugust2018.1

[PMACKAY]

Here It is---- Map Editor IncludedI have included my map editor.... Not all maps are complete. but i have linked all exits together. you can now run around all the 72 levels mapsThere are instructions in the read me file. but i have plenty more work i am doing.
Working towards bombs, AI for the new monsters that will be added (some form of AI anyway for finding you including moving diagnal)
there will be walls that close in, rocks that hang from the roof, walls that shoot up to block paths, key for some rooms, plenty of stuff.... this is just the beginning of the gameLOTS and LOTS more to come. I am just going to add as i go know. the hard stuff is done (YAY).. feel free to modify my editor... but the game is mine to modify..

2 x new monsters (i call them the blobs)

one eats rocks... both are harmless to you. (needed monsters to explode blobs)

more maps. i have found one map link error. will fix next time. not an issue.

This is looking pretty cool. Should be a nostalgic trip for those of us who grew up in the 80s when its finished.

Yes just checking it out this morning, coming along nicely, PMACKAY very prolific!

Hi PMACKAY,

I am looking for the edit stuff in Aug 22 18_43 build where you advertised the edit functions and can't find it. Is it in Linux only levcreate?

Append: Oh, also the screen shot with the linked maps, 3 digit numbers map, is a work of art, did you put that together by hand or with a program?

[PMACKAY]

the files are all here including the extra maps. sorry my pc is being naughty at the moment. first a harddisk crash then the motor on the drive stopped after reinstalling :( on the bright side i now have a creative labs audigy audio card

[PMACKAY]

This version has had a few changes... Download this one. Not the above.
Working......

The pic was put together using gimp. I had to take screenshots and edit crop them smaller then pasted them one by one on top of the larger image

Just the pic

Nice editor! Took me awhile to figure out you are using numbers on keypad for arrows. And it does look like you are drawing the map of maps, very nice coding!

It might be handy to show a legend for which object gets posted with keypress eg Rock is T and Diamond is R.

Oh, also might want to check boundary lines on map of maps because "cursor" is going off the edges at bottom and right.

It is a nice feature when people can make their own maps. :)

[PMACKAY]

it was just slapped together. will have to do a bit more. like cursor control, you a correct will need to also include a legend so you know what keys to press. have to update screen to press enter so goes straight into edit mode (simple fix). i have left it open to simply change keys about to easy to remember ones. but this is only the first editor. anyway its much easier then entering the data by hand. :)   feel free to modify it. i have been loading in both the editmap and mapview together. it shows both the maps and the one editing at the same time. press the p to reload the view in the viewmap and it will show the newmap along side the rest of them.


i agree with the boundary issue too. but was stuck together in a couple of hours. :)

This is the Latest Build

* has a bomb
* has more sound (crappy but at least it makes sound)

Instructions included in read-me. only for game. To compile just load up in qb64 and compile

not for qb45

[PMACKAY]

these are the sheets i started with, just the maps on paper.


One sheet is maps, the other is the room colours. if you look into my select map section this will line up with room and colour tables

IF my% = 2 THEN o$ = "071": GOSUB writelev: GOSUB readlev: cmode% = 1: my% = 11: GOTO skt

o$ is equal to colour 1 which is colour set 1

there are 5 colour sets

IF cmode% = 1 THEN c1% = 15: c2% = 7: c3% = 10: c4% = 10: c5% = 3: c6% = 14: c7% = 8: c8% = 9
IF cmode% = 2 THEN c1% = 15: c2% = 4: c3% = 2: c4% = 2: c5% = 6: c6% = 14: c7% = 4: c8% = 1
IF cmode% = 3 THEN c1% = 15: c2% = 12: c3% = 5: c4% = 5: c5% = 13: c6% = 14: c7% = 4: c8% = 14
IF cmode% = 4 THEN c1% = 1: c2% = 2: c3% = 9: c4% = 9: c5% = 9: c6% = 15: c7% = 8: c8% = 4
IF cmode% = 5 THEN c1% = 2: c2% = 6: c3% = 14: c4% = 14: c5% = 11: c6% = 15: c7% = 8: c8% = 12

feel free to change these. i am not colour coordinated..... :) send me your colours if you like and i wil make them permanent

---------------------------
