C64 Mini-Boulder Dash written in plain BASIC

Post by Simon »

Hi everybody,
I wrote another Mini-Boulder Dash for the C64, this time in plain BASIC - for the "2nd 4k BASIC Compo" over at the Forum64.de.
Please have a look at the forum thread:
http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/board2-c64-a ... as-voting/

The game contains seven different caves and many levels, so you get unlimited screens of game play.
All this coded in plain BASIC in just 4 Kbytes. It's quite astonishing that it's possible to write Boulder Dash in BASIC at all!

To play the game, download the ZIP archive from the forum thread mentioned above, start WinVICE and drag+drop the game file onto the WinVICE window. Use the menu "Settings / Joystick settings..." to configure "Joystick in port #2". Also, for decent game speed, use "Options / Maximum Speed / Custom" and set 500% speed.

If you like the game, you can vote for it in the forum64.de.
Voting is open until 13th of December.

Have fun!
Simon
