Hey Guys, I'm looking for suggestions for a good platformer Listing ! I remember playing Blagger, Chuckie Egg, Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy as a kid on my MSX. Also Pitfall 2 though that was a bit different. What I'm after is a Game i can type in that has some or all of the elements contained in the games I've listed. Eg 3 lives, Score, left right up down and jump movement. Enemy's patrolling either set routes or random routes like in Pacman, perhaps some way to shoot or kill enemys, various types of loot or power-ups inc extra lives. Various different levels with ladders, ropes, stairs, doors or some mechanism to ascend the 'platforms' or too move to the next level like a doorway aka in Splunkey.
I realize that's a LOT for one game perhaps too much but I'm interested in learning how to program in basic and would like to learn from examples, preferably good ones Ive learned a LOT from SpaceMan and now want my next programming challenge/lesson ! Id prefer a game i can type in BASIC but perhaps contains some machine code routines to help with speed improvements but I am also aware that I might be taking on more than I can currently understand and don''t wish to be typing in routines I cant understand for the sake of typing. I need it simple enough for me to say oh yea THATS how that works ! Otherwise i will be bombarding you all with questions for help ! :/
If you can suggest a few good listings to type in that would be great.
Many Thanks,
Paul
