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...

Re: Commodore Pet Emulator on C64 (winvice or real hardware)

The emulator is only wedge that redirects requests like video ram writing, etc....due to this, only BASIC programs execute with any reliability

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...
