T:ME Salvo source code

[RevEng]

Like the subject says, I'm sharing the source code to T:ME Salvo.

 

Feel free to learn, copy, and enhance. The only real condition I've specified is if you sell a derivative work, it needs to be substantially different than Salvo, and be named something different. (I don't want unauthorised copies of Salvo popping up.)

 

Hoping someone finds this useful.

Upon first look at the contents, I'm noticing your graphics are all RGB mode; thought they're supposed to be indexed. I might have to 'speriment.

I think your graphics app might just be defaulting to RGB color. I saved them as indexed color. Opening them just now, Gimp shows them as indexed color, and the "file" command agrees.

Thank you for sharing! Really stupid question(s) since I am new to programming: is your source code written with 7800Basic or Assembly? And what did you use for a compiler to make it run when finished?

[RevEng]

The Salvo source is 7800basic. 7800basic allows for a mixture of basic and assembly, but Salvo is 100% basic.

 

The source was written with a text editor on a modern PC. 7800basic is a compiled language, and comes with everything you need to create a 7800 ROM image. Compiling your source code into a 7800 ROM is just a matter of running a singe command on your source/text file.
