Fixed... and the lock was a oxygentank.

Name of Software: TRAINSPOTTER Author: Johan "Dr Beep" Koelman Release Date: 19/05/2024 Requirements (eg. 1K, 16K, AY Card, Hi-Res Scheme): 1K lowres Commercial / Public Domain / Free ware / Other - please specify? Freeware This is a great little game, reminiscent of "The Train Game" on the ZX Spec...

NOTE TO MYSELF:

Part 1 is ready, after level 100 you get the levelcode for part 2.

Levelcode 101 is shown.

Technically part 1 is done, but some nice screens (start and finish) will make the game complete.

After that ... part2, the next 88 levels.
This also needs some extra coding due to some specific levels.

Levelcode now working.

Only thing left for part 1:
A screen to display the code for level 101, the first level of part 2.

Each level is between 100 and 200 fields in size.
With an average of 150 fields (probably more) this would mean 150x100 = 15.000 fields uncompressed data.
Added to this is around 20 bytes per level as leveltext.

The game and the screen adds too so the data must be compressed to fit the game in 16K.

I deleted my videograbber so at the moment I cannot.

Problems level 100 now solved.

So I can focus on levelcode and input mechanism.
