New game - Domin8tr1s - Released.

[bobs]

My first game for the ZX81 - Domin8tr1s - is now finished, and can be downloaded from my site http://www.bobs-stuff.co.uk or using this link http://www.bobs-stuff.co.uk/extras/dom81.zip.

It's a version of Tetris but using numbers instead of shapes - a cross between Dominoes & Tetris - hence the name. Many thanks to Siggi & Shaun for play-testing, suggestions & improvements.

Hi Bob
really a nice game .
But it seems still to have bug: when I had enough points to get into the high score list, the screen got currupted (maybe a line-end character 118 was overwritten):

Nice, smooth, addictive game. For someone who never made a game for the ZX81 before, this is very impressive.

Just when I thought it was finished! Pah!! Will have a look at the code now...

Oops, sorry for that ...

Now, what to write next...

Now, what to write next...

Perhaps port a Speccy 16K graphics game to the ZX81, using Matthias' HIRES package (has an assembler and BASIC interface)?

Maybe I'll change my mind one day, but I actually want to stay away from the whole hi-res stuff. I've spent the last couple of years coding for the Spectrum, and now want to try something different, and that includes the character-based graphics. I think they have a certain charm, and want to work with that.
