| This game looks like it is straight out one of those multi-platform type-in listings books. By multi-platform I mean the BASIC program in question is deviod of any user defined graphics, colour or sound such that the same listing can run with only minor modifications on anything from a TRS-80 to a VIC-20 and of course a ZX Spectrum too. This restriction also guarantees that most multi-platform listing games are cack, with the notable exception of text adventures. Of course that really isn't the point because the whole idea of these listings is to study them, using them as a learning aid. I know the author has realised the educational value of the listing because all of his variables are very sensibly named. Want to change the message displayed when you die? That's line 45 my codeguru friend! And so on... Actually play the game if you dare, but be warned that the player and enemy bullets are suitably flickery for this BASIC affair. Again studying the code will show you that they are erased just after they are drawn - hey it's a nice touch and here in the CGC batcave we really appreciate it! Oh yes and you have to press SPACE to start playing. |
