ZX81 Chopper Drop 3000 ***RELEASED***

Post by nama »

Hooray!!! Finally, the ultimate high action helicopter flying experience for the ZX81 has arrived.

Image

A year and a half in the making (ok, I did take a break in the middle), and with much help from Siggi and Andre***. (Andre*** sped up my original basic coding, and Siggi helped with compiling the basic into machine code using McoderII). I wanted to publicly thank the both of you. THANKS!

Chopper Drop 3000 game information can be found here:
http://www.neoncluster.com/projects-zx8 ... p3000.html

Two versions of the compiled game exist.
One version (CD3000.p) using my preferred keys (Q,A,O,P and M)
and an 'alternative keyboard' version (CD3000ak.p) for the ZX81 purist which uses the standard arrow configuration (5,6,7,8 and 0).

Thanks for playing, and if you like our game, please let us know

Philip (Nama)

Seems Apple has upgraded idisk without telling me, so now the previous
link doesn't seem to work.

The new link is as follows:

Just look under the ZX81 folder for the CD3000.p files

Bonjour Phil,

I am back on this forum after a long series of glitches. 3 hurray! for the ml (machine code) version of "CHOPPER DROP 3000".
Many thanks to you and Siggi on this one. Are you getting ready for a new program? My latest game "CANNON WAR" is available now. It would also work better in ml. And a new program is getting ready for July: "MATHZX". This program will run on a basic Timex1000 or if you prefer with only 2k ram.
The ZX81 pleasure is spreading, ANDRE***

Both versions can be downloaded form from here, under the 'ZX81' folder:

There is only CURSOR version (which is impossible to me to play) and there is no QAOPM game.
Can You ulpload it?

Try looking again. It's definitely there.
CD3000.p (not CD3000ak.p)

Like I said, there's no CD3000.p file sadly.
Ah, don't worry. I'm just asking.
Maybe next time.

Are you looking under the ZX81/ZX81_chopperdrop_3000 directory?
I just checked again. I have no problem seeing the file.
