Computing with the Amstrad | AMSTRAD SEMANAL |
Oh no! There's been an outbreak of mutant evil weevils again. It happens every year at about this time. It's the weevils' breeding season, you see, and they're an absolute menace. Send for Robot Ron! Ron is a remote-controlled robot weevil-destroyer armed with a super Zap gun. One blast from this and the weevil's on its way to that great cornfield in the sky. Unfortunately Ron isn't impervious to these little beasties. They get into his joints, seizing them up and causing Ron to overheat and explode. Don't panic, though. We can rebuild him - we have the technology. But this can only be done three times. After that his parts are unserviceable. There are nine screens to test your skill and a high-score table to chart your progress. Prelude in G for one Amstrad accompanies the title page and high-score table. As you progress through each screen the number of weevils gets fewer - but they also get more agile. You'll need to keep your wits about you and your finger on the fire button. A machine code routine is used to print the weevils, Ron and laser bolt. This creates a multicoloured character about ten times faster than Basic can print a single-colour one. It also allows large numbers of bright, colourful characters to be moved around very quickly. Each subroutine has a title describing its function and the program is fairly well structured. Be careful when entering the data. CWTA |

Page créée en 707 millisecondes et consultée 1972 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. |
