Retrospect Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) DODGER.zip Zip file contains a small manual, EA5 files and XB Fiad file. Guide Roger the Dodger over a busy road, climb the spider infested wall, and swim the river to get to the flashing arrows. Game has funny music and animations. Give it a whirl and you'll like it. Some notes about the game; You get an extra life every 1000 points There's a time limit of 30 seconds to get to an Arrow. The closer the timer gets to zero , the faster the arrows flash. Roger can be surprisingly speedy along the road but he's slower in the water! Traffic & monsters increase in speed as well as number , the more levels you reach. You can wrap around the screen. Title screen has "attract" screen if you wait a few moments. The game was written using Harry Wilhelm's XB256 and the Compiler. Try it , it's fantastic!

Thankyou Walid Oh yes the river gets difficult past screen 3, on screen 4 I usually die there! By screen 4 though, you'll be getting the extra life (every 1000 points) so that might help with loads more practice Edited May 27, 2021 by Retrospect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou Rasmus I was aiming for a kind of Tuba effect for the music. I thought it suited the comedy gameplay. Also to note; the character patterns are updated "on the fly" rather than kept in the pattern sets. There's a variable that increments from 1 to 2 and points to a specific set of lines to update the patterns that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Nelson Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 So, how do I get it into bin format to load with a Final GROM 99 for instance? This can supposedly be done using the E/A, but since I not not very experienced with assembly language on the TI, I could use instructions or may be even a link to converted files? Actually instructions would be perfect if they are detailed enough so I can follow and see how it's done. I do a fair amount of assembly, just not on the TI.

I think I sent Retrospect several choice curses during that process. Apologies my friend ? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
