Retrospect Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 ROBINHOOD.zip <<< Cassette image and Disk image here. For disk loading, OLD DSK1.ROBIN Robin Hood is a TI Basic (not XB) game that has the player as Robin , attempting to rescue Maid Marian from Nottingham Castle at night time. In pure tradition of TI Basic games it's like wading through treacle, but the graphics are pleasant and it functions. Note: Arrows and Fireballs will kill you if they are a character in front of you. The last screen is good - there's a moving ledge , over a deep drop, and you have to jump on the ledge, and keep walking with the ledge and time your jump to the other side! To rescue maiden simply walk to the edge of the screen and robin shall appear next to her on the tower ledge. Play with keyboard .... Keys are S = backwards, D = forwards, E = jump upwards, R = jump forwards. If anyone wants to compile the game for the FG99 thingy , feel free. If no one does it I might. If I can be bothered. Also, when you die and fall off the castle, the player characters do not disrupt the graphics at all. It's like a sprite but not a sprite. 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospect Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Here's a video of the game running on a TI-99/8 (emulator) ... it's a bit peppier for speed but since it was written in plain TI Basic for the 4A it is not in any way optimized for the 99/8. I am now tempted to try making this game natively on the 99/8 taking advantage of the extra speed and memory. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasch Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi Retrospect! The game looks great, especially the 99/8 version. I'm trying to run from the disk image via TIPI but I'm getting "MEMORY FULL IN 1001". Any hot tips? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's like wading through treacle. But you have to love the 80's pop music references. Great job!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joe, if you run it with RXB2022 you get the same speed increase as using a 99/8 but unfortunately for some reason the game character falls to his death as soon as you move, a simple fix maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I did not update IN THE DARK for 2022 it will run in RXB 2020 version fine. As for "Subprogram not found in 1160" can you send me the TI Basic source code so I can find the problem?

Retrospect Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 I don't know about 2022 rxb but i tried robin hood with the latest 2023. One of the issues is this, if we have PRINT ::: in ti basic, it doesn't translate very well to any XB. It does this PRINT :: : (with a space) The other issue I got was the game causes a lock-up (which can't be broken out of ) after you die. In either case Robin Hood was only intended for TI Basic. It was meant to push TI Basic to it's limits. Had I intended it for other BASICs I would have ignored TI Basic and written it for Extended Basic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using XB and RXB 2022 both work the same way with PRINT ::: it does not work same as TI Basic, so like XB you need to do a PRINT :: : in RXB 2022 As what is the line at 1160 could you please show me that line? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry thought the problem was in a TI Basic problem. RXB 2024 will include a new version of IN THE DARK that works again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok here is a zip file of RXB 2020 and it has that working version of IN THE DARK included. This will work with FINALGROM or Classic99 and some other emulators. Just to make a point that IN THE DARK only works if you have a SAMS card or SAMS memory expansion with at least 512K MEG of RAM.
