Santa Panic new game

[jchase1970]

This is a new game I just completed.  It's been a long time since I have made a game and this was a lot of fun.  It is some of the worse code I have ever written and caused me a huge debugging issue, but I got it working.  Don't be too hard on it, it was only a couple of days of coding but it is fun for a few plays.  I had bigger dreams for it, with music and more level pictures but it's almost Christmas and it is a Christmas theme so the game is done as is.

Very nice and simple game ! Made it up to 1760 points by now ... lost all lives by getting hit by coal when on top of the cycle with virtually no warning time ... I am too impatient to wait until a piece of coal is dropped.

Is it possible to have it also on .bin format for FinalGROM? Many thanks.

Can you teach me how.  I don't know how to make a ea5 file.  I was looking around trying to figure it out but I came up blank.

It reminded me a bit of the style of game&watch

Someone would have to teach me how to do that.  Retroclouds converted my Bouncing Babies game a long time ago, so I know it can be done but I am clueless on how to do it and would love to learn how.

sure you read the compiler manual 

 

Press Enter for the LOADER then press Enter at the prompts:
DSK1.HELLO.OBJ
CALL LINK(“EA5,”DSK1.HELLO-E”)

 

that part in particular..

Ah so it made -e -f -g files, these are the EA5 files.

 

I seen this CALL LINK(“EA5,”DSK1.HELLO-E”) everytime I used it but I didn't know what it was doing. And my manual must be older then my version because it has this info in it for the file it creates.

 

"You can see that five files are used in the process of compiling a program. To help keep track of them,
I recommend using the following conventions. If the original XB program is called TEST then:
TEST = original XB program
TEST-M = merge format file
TEST-S = assembly source code file
TEST-O = assembly object code file
TEST-C = compiled code ready to run from Extended BASIC
TEST-A – compiled code ready to run from EA5
(The above are just suggestions. Feel free to use whatever file names you wish.)"

 

It said -A which I don't even have, So I didn't know why I had other files. 

I've not ever had to deal with other files and I figured out today looking back at stuff on the forums from 10-12 years ago that I was doing, I have forgot it all.  I couldn't even do stuff that I had explained how I was doing it to work.  I do good to be able to type a simply program like this and get it working.

 

Thank you for your help.

here are the ea5 files you requested.

My TiCodEd Manual contains a universal section for creating a module from a compiled XB program, which is completely independent of SXB and TiCodEd. 

 

Creating a Module

 

Harry also introduced another savvy method for creating a cartridge module in his XBGDP Game Developer Package, see page 9 of his manual.

Thank You Tmop69 for the .bin

Thank you SteveB for the info, I will read it for sure!

SteveB, Can I get a copy of Freds Module Creator from you.  His website is down and I can not find it any place else.

I'm a bit late for playing it on Christmas, but anyway that's a nice and jolly game

I like Santa's sprite.
