Its going to be a simple fun strategy game
dreading the AI code

[nitrofurano]

looks promissing!
(and from the colours used, i thought were a game for coco2, not zx-spectrum! )

[slenkar]

thanks, the U shaped things are factories and the other things are tanks,

[JBGV]

I really like strategy games !

We want to try it soon!

[slenkar]

you can select units, (but not much else )

[boriel]

Holy sh*t!!! hock:
If this can be done in ZX Basic, definitely I need to start programming my own game! :roll:

[slenkar]

lol that would be good
:mrgreen:

Its a very 'basic' game, im just using 'attributes' or 8x8 squares for everything (boriel PRINT AT command)

and then using the printat64 library for the text

[slenkar]

You can fire bullets now,
Still havent done AI

The fact that someone is digging into the library routines I've been sneaking into the wiki gives me such a warm happy glow. Yes! Worth it

[slenkar]

yep, they are useful

[LCD]

I tried it. Not bad! looking forward for finished game... soon...
I posted 2004 on WOS about a Strategy wargame I was writing: "Kaiju Taisen", it has been written in HiSoft Basic and the Tile engine was very good in hiding its slowness by building up the screen in a "random" order. Unfortunaly all soures are 100% lost, but I want to rewrite the game from scratch using ZXBC one day.

[slenkar]

thanks probly get on it in a week

[slenkar]

the enemies can shoot
and move with pathfinding,

the game was too boring with just an empty battlefield so...



I only just added the walls so I have to test they dont break anything
