PureBasic Forums - English

Hi, i must say that the original author is 'Deth good' forum user, i'm only an arranger of it.

It is nice, however, @dontmailme, realize that this piece of code doesn't change the palette while it is ingame, and the original does it

ENJOY

Cool game thanx for your work

As my free time is very limited, a screenshot would be nice.

Maybe also adding the game to the Showcase on www.PureArea.net would be an option?

C'mon, a screenshot doesn't allow you to see the smooth scroll, and the less than 10% CPU use on a 500+MHz machine.
You are strongly suggested to try it even only some minutes.

Of course, i'd be proud of it

EDIT: BTW: pressing F12 you get a screenshot
Here it is:

I've just now changed the left shift key to Z key instead, because of WinXP Accesibility options deals with Shift keys.

I don't remember if I uploaded the multimedia timer version with horizontal scan-line refresh screen strategy, in order to display a "no-tearing" game.

So, here it is the last revision I made in 2006:

https://mega.nz/file/M0xkXSrR#tnXv8ys3w ... vIeSQFloME

It is no 3D stuff, but "DirectX7". It works on PB5.00 with windows XP, vista, 7, 8.1 and 10.
If someone dares to make a version with 3D (may be using all the drawing stuff onto a Texture), it would be welcome, (in this case no need to deal with timers and screen refresh issues because new 3D VGA includes a correct way to refresh screen without ugly effects).

NOTICE:
Code line 760 has defined the variable 'adjust.f' which defines the height of the VGA scan-line drawing; this value should vary depending of the VGA in order to get a smooth and "tearing free" scrolling gaming.
To show in screen the "scan-line" uncomment line at Macro visualizarajusteVSYNC.

( Changed the link to include a .exe to test it -'adjust.f=0.6666666'- )

Doesn't run on Win 10 Pro for me with PureBasic 5.73; it says DirectX7 subsystem cannot be found.

Hi BarryG:
As I wrote and i tested, it works with PB5.00, no tested other PB versions, but posible it works with others, not PB5.7x.

(Changed the link to include a .exe to test it with a 'adjust.f=0.6666666')

So you mean it only works with 5.00, then? That's a shame. Was looking forward to it.

Nope.
As I wrote and i tested, it works with PB5.00, no tested other PB versions, but posible it works with others, not PB5.7x.

And no shame at all, because it is a PB source code from 2006 and a remake of a game from 198x
Say thanks it works even in the modern PB5.00 version
