#16 POURSUITE INFERNALE


http://www.kweepa.com/step/vic20/games/heb16pou.prg

An extremely simple and cleanly (if inefficiently) written chase/collect game.

Just a quick note:

I have informed the chap who runs hebdogiciel.fr about our efforts and so hopefully he will pay us a visit!
we'll see!

Hello.
Sorry for my English
Good surprise. It is with great excitement that I discovered your forum.
You did a very good job.
The Vic-20 was my first computer, it still works.

I also work on another crazy project.
I built a Droid R2D2 that will be led by our old computers with Vic-20.
If you want to follow, here is the address.

I would again like to congratulate you for your work.
Thank you.

#17 PAPY FAIT DE LA RESISTANCE


http://www.kweepa.com/step/vic20/games/heb17pap.zip

+3k

A surprisingly polished and smooth BASIC only pacman clone using the 8x16 character mode. The enemies follow fixed paths so it's sometimes quite difficult to get killed.
The title is from a 1983 film, so I was expecting something a little different. Oh well.
I had some trouble with the original joystick reading code so I fixed it - it's less "French" but it works in VICE (and presumably a real VIC). I was also surprised that I typed in the UDGs, the enemy paths and the map without error first time!

(The only difference is the instructions.)

#18 BASE DE L'ESPACE

Nicely done game - not sure what the genre is! The joystick routines needed fixed up again.

@kweepa

As always, excellently done.

Well, after entering 1,742 lines of code, I'm done with Vase D'or and guess what? I can't get it to work

**UPDATE 1/7/15 Vase D'or now works! (+16k)**

Please go to: http://www.hebdogiciel.fr/VIC20.htm

to download and for details!

[AntiPontifex]

Oh, and I forgot: my next attempt at trying to do a type-in is
Hebdogiciel no. 30 Indiens.

[Mayhem]

Cheers for all these btw, I'll have to make a note to add them into GB20 at some point

Any chance of adding month, year, programmer info etc, to the entries if they exist?

[Kweepa]

Dates (to the day) are all listed on the Hebdogiciel site here:

My actual first publishable product:

Indiens Heb #30

I can't figure out the controls, but it seems to be working.

Enjoy!

[Kweepa]

Groovy.

Deplacez-vous a l'aide des touches A et Z et appuyez sur la touche "espace" pour tirer;

In other words, move with A and Z and press "space" to fire.

A couple of corrections:
The game has instructions on the 'title page' - unfortunately you have made them illegible by typing the strings in quotes with capital letters, so they show up as commodore graphics characters instead.
When typing in games, you should be careful not to include spaces where there weren't spaces in the original listing, or the game may run out of memory.
On line 110 you have 'if m=tt+10 rm=tt then..." which causes the game to crash. I think you can see the syntax error on your screenshot! Instead it should be 'if m=tt+1 or m=tt then...' (without the spaces).

[AntiPontifex]

Thanks kweepa for the corrections. Anyhow, I've corrected Les Indiens
and it now goes into gameplay but crashes after it goes into game over
mode. I can't seem to find anything else wrong with the code, so if
the community can find out what's wrong with it so much the better.
Thanks.

For my next act, I'm going to attempt
VIC-Dames no. 21

[Kweepa]

I fixed the spacing, line 110, line 200, and the strings.
Here's a working version:

I'm not going to comment on the subject matter of the game!

[AntiPontifex]

Thank you kweepa! I agree about the subject matter

[AntiPontifex]

Here is a dropbox link to a non-working typed-in Vic-Dames (+8k);
I get "illegal quantity error at 1100" but I've typed-in what is given: if anyone
can debug and post that'd be great. Thanks community!

* now works - see posts below *
Next up: Astro no. 31
