NEW RELEASE: LINEJEWELS 0.6 (Public Beta) - UPDATED - CROSS PLATFORM BASIC GAME (AtariXL,C64,MS-DOS(GW), AMSTRAD, MICRO BBC)

la1n · January 28

NEW RELEASE: LINEJEWELS (0.6) - FIRST RELEASE (BUG FOUND - UPDATED VERSION COMING SOON)

so the task was to create somehow of an action game for crossplatform 8-bit. means running on as many old 8bit platforms in basic as possible.

the outcome: LINE JEWELS a one key "be jeweled". you have the choice to set the stone in one line and make 3+ or even 2 * 3+ and get the points. you have 50 lines to get as much points as possible. it runs now on C64, ATARI XL, MS-DOS (GW-BASIC), AMSTRAD CPC & BBC MICRO)

the code is the same for all platforms except the GetKeyPressed-routine 😞 and the rnd function .-(

it was quite a big work to get all together. so you can't use of course graphical commands or even cls. so everything is made with print and print ;. there is so much things that are different in these basics .-( it is a nightmare. even handling of string is different (thanks to atari), others have low memory, others don't have : and and and

if you are interesting in the basic-code (one file for all versions)

running on C64,AtariXL,MS-DOS(GW), AMSTRAD, MICRO BBC) .-)

There can be errors in the code (in the case of atari the concat of strings). Just go over the errors. the code should run.

1523 & 2407 syntax errors. I have zero clue on how to fix that. It's just 'odd'.

I pressed '2' for 800XL.

Using BAsic XE.

Dunno how yours runs.
