Here it is! Our first Amstrad program, by Steve Lucas Home Computing Weekly is proud to publish its first Amstrad program, written for us by regular contributor Steve Lucas. It's an adventure game in which you arc sent on a difficult, probably dangerous mission to the Castle of Desolation. Your task is to rid the castle of the evil forces which haunt it. Give instructions in the form of two word sentences, as RUB LAMP. To move around, you only need to use a single letter such as N, S, E, W. Here's a list of some of the words understood: HELP, SCORE, PRAY, GO, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UP, DOWN, IN, OUT, RUB, EAT, DRINK, SHOOT, KILL, ATTACK, HELP, SCORE, GET, TAKE, GRAB, DROP, LEAVE, OPEN, UNLOCK, SHOW, INSERT Hints on conversion This program makes use of the WHILE WEND loop, which is unavailable on most micros. It may be replaced by a REPEAT UNTIL s$ = 10 loop if that is available or alternatively, a conditional GOTO. LOCATE is used to place the cursor at x,y coordinate on the screen. PAPER and PEN arc used to select the colours. LOWERS is a function which converts all upper case input into lower case. Lower case letters are unaffected. This is not easy to achieve in most BASICs and you will probably find that it is easier to check just upper case inputs. The Amstrad allows variables to be in cither upper or lower case.

Page créée en 647 millisecondes et consultée 885 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. |
