Sensational Games For the Amstrad With CPC464 |
This third classic is a 3D maze game in which you have a perspective view of the paths open to you. The object of the game is to find your way around the maze quickly. If you do it fast enough then you will catch the maniac. If you arc too slow then he will catch you! On screen are shown the passages that arc open to you. The arrow at the bottom indicates the true direction that you are facing and how far you have travelled towards the exit at bottom right. The left or right cursor changes the direction you are facing. The up cursor takes one step into the picture each time it is pressed. The down cursor takes you back one step and leaves you facing the same direction. The joystick can also be used to move. Once you are successful in reaching the end of the maze then the target time is reduced and the best time must be beaten. This game uses a sophisticated technique, based upon the Amstrad's colour pointers, to achieve the very fast changes to the picture. The technique is worthy of your close examination since you can use it to produce high speed movement in your own programs. If the program is merged with the‘High Score' routine then many players may race against each other's best time. |

Page créée en 303 millisecondes et consultée 284 fois L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
