I hope you don't mind if I preserve the look and feel, and the game name Go for it! The only thing I ask is that you include some kind of credit or attribution for the inspiration of your version. We have plans for a physical release later this year 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plans for a physical release later this year 😉 I've done a very simplistic version of your game. Just 1191 bytes of BASIC source code (less than 120 bytes per line, 10 lines in total). I programmed a simplified splash and a wavy fly of the fly, but had to remove them as well as other features in order to fit the 10 lines of code and to increase the playability. I also changed the bitmaps and the colors. I hope you like them... 😬 I'll publish the "making of" and the source code in my tenliners web page, and I'll link this thread using your nickname as the author of the concept. Please send me a PM if you want me to include your real name.

If you had to cut anything, those would be the "non-essentials" to remove. Good choice. 13 hours ago, vitoco said: I also changed the bitmaps and the colors.

My A8 port of this game called "Fly Hunter 10L" was submitted to the 2024 BASIC tenliners contest. The source code and the "binary" are available in my tenliners page. I also published a YouTube video of it. I know it is not as beautiful and full of animations like the original, but I think that the gameplay of my simplified version is quite good (and adictive) for a tenliner 😎 Edited March 17 by vitoco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
