Re: WIP - Serpent Caves
small update:- Serpent damage increases as the levels increase - A level 15 serpent will do 4 points of damage - should be interesting when there are 20 serpents to avoid while searching for the exit.

Re: WIP - Serpent Caves
Excellent beta! I like the way it plays. 1816 bytes free... room for user defined characters? :P I made an attempt to add UDG's - but the program has become an absolute mess with me trying to patch things together - so I intend to do a full re-write from scratch over the weekend. EDIT:- Have starte...

Re: Any ROGUE-like games for the VIC-20?
I welcome your new game Serpent Caves, but I cannot figure out how to attack anything. I step "on" a snake and nothing seems to happen. When a snake steps on me nothing also seems to happen, but then after carefully experimenting and watching the screen I notice sometimes I lose a hit/hea...

control charaters in rem statements
I have a vague childhood memory from the 80's of a magazine article that described how to use control characters in rem statements to do all sorts of odd things - can anybody elaborate further on this???

A couple of hours on the VIC and the first WIP version of Serp...

Re: Reversi - what the heck??!
Is it written in basic?..if so, it's proabably one of thos computer magazine type-ins. In which case there is most likele an error in the A.I. routine.
