8bit wars project and the ZX81 game

Post by dr beep »

8 bit wars
==========

Andy Remic started his "8 bit wars"-project and needed games for several systems.
I started coding this game for the project and sent him the game.

Andy was enthousiast about the game for the ZX81 but unfortunately the project ended
earlier when Andy passed away. I am releasing this game now as a tribute to Andy so everybody
can enjoy the game.

This game is far from easy, discussion about the game can be done in this topic.

Have fun with this tribute game

Start at Q move your finger over all keys to P
go down to L move back to A,
go to Z and move to M.
Check all keys pressed.

The keyboard reading does not work well with some emulators, I have tried in linux with EightyOne (on wine) and with sz81. With Retroarch it works

I'm not sure if I've finished the game, is the last screen the one that says LEVEL COPY?

EightyOne is fine to do first level.
LEVEL COPY needs a firing at that text.
