Hi, i must say that the original author is 'Deth good' forum user, i'm only an arranger of it. 8)

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 :P

ENJOY :!: :D

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

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

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. :wink:

Of course, i'd be proud of it :D

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.

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

Nope.

And no shame at all, because it is a PB source code from 2006 and a remake of a game from 198x :wink:
Say thanks it works even in the modern PB5.00 version 8)
