toarnold Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Today I'll provide my first ATARI Jaguar Game. It is a port of an ATARI XL game called "Gryzzles". It was released in the early 1988 in a german computer magazine called ComputerKontakt (CK 2/3 1988). I liked this game and I played it very often. After getting a skunkboard this game was my first project. So don't bother me It is written in plain C with a little help of M68k assembler, the Belboz HelloWorld sample and the Sinister Sound Module. Source code (Visual Studio 2013 Solution) is included. You will need vbcc/vasm/vlink and smac to compile. Load and run adress for gryzzles.bin is $4000 The original german game discription is included (gryyzles.txt). (I am not able to translate it) But I think you don't need a description. Solve every level in one move! Keypad: Title-Screen B: Toggle between normal or random game C: Toggle between master loop (all levels) or lower (level 1-50) or upper areas (level 51-100) Option: switch sound on or off A: start game Gameplay Option: switch sound on or off *: Destroy pyramid (restart level) #: Give up Hopefully this game will run on NTSC Jags, 'cause I only own a PAL model. Enjoy, toarnold GryzzlesJaguar.zip Edited December 18, 2015 by toarnold 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Saturn Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hopefully this game will run on NTSC Jags, 'cause I only own a PAL model. Enjoy, toarnold Awesome! Thank you for this. Will try it on my NTSC Jag when I get home today. Hopefully, someone else can verify before that. Thanks Sh3-rg for posting the compiled files. I can't compile $*** in Ubuntu (or with Windows, apparently ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thanks Sh3-rg for posting the compiled files. I can't compile $*** in Ubuntu (or with Windows, apparently ) I love to rag on Ubuntu. I completely gave up on Linux after trying to compile files on Ubuntu. So frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Seems to run perfectly. Looking forward to more! :thumbsup: Edit Great game, am going to spend some time on it this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Fun little game. The simpler stuff is always the best way to pick up how a system works. Nice job, and thanks for releasing it! Might I suggest you take a quick look here: http://atariage.com/forums/forum/161-raptor-basic/ ? If you are comfortable with your current environment, then keep at it, however the goal of this project is to make things easier and more accessible for everyone while still allowing access to the base hardware via high performance calls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toarnold Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 If somebody get into trouble solving a level: all levels are solveable, I can give you a hint. Stay tuned. Another small game is coming soon. - toarnold 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another small game is coming soon. - toarnold How many levels are there? I've only had time to play once and that go was curtailed thanks to my son demanding to take the controls (he's 4, so you can imagine how well that ended ) To be fair, he did keep on restarting and attempting the first level - that's more than I can say for the few commercial jaguar games he's sat in front of! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toarnold Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 There are 100 levels. 50 symetric (the easy part) and 50 asymetric. 25 years ago I can't solve all levels, but today you can feed a multi-core CPU with this problems :-) - toarnold 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Can i use Jiffi to convert this into a cdi i tried but only made a coaster .Any thoughts. Did you use the .COFF file in the 2nd post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Can i use Jiffi to convert this into a cdi i tried but only made a coaster .Any thoughts. That's what worked for me. I ran sh3-rg's unzipped gryzzles.cof file through JiFFI as a ULS Boot cdi and burned it to cdr on the slowest speed possible. Worked like a charm. Here's the exact file I burned (after unzipping): gryzzles_jiffi.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felyx Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thank you for sharing this with us. thank you to Sh3rg and Saturn for providing the jiffi file to burn on CD. Merry Christmass to our good old Atari kitty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
