Fantastci little Pacman muncher clone for the sinclair zx spectrum next home computer.
A classic maze-munching arcade game! Eat your way through mazes, slurping up dots, munching on the dopey cube-folk who live in the maze. As dopey as they are, they don't stay that way - when you've eaten just too many of their dot's, it puts them in a rage!
This game is written entirely in NextBASIC for the ZX Spectrum Next. It was originally written in 2020 when I first got my next, under the name 'Pucboy'. However a lot of optimisation and rethinking later, some new graphics and additional features and Blok Boy was born!
FEATURES
Arcade-style maze game action
Supports both Keyboard and Joystick
Top 5 high score table
Increasing difficulty as you progress levels.
3 unique maze layouts
Proper AY Sound effects (i.e. not BEEP) and little 'tunelets' of sorts.
Animated graphics
Source code in .txt format (with comments)
Six-page PDF with a few tips on tweaking game and some technical info.
For speed, the playable BASIC game has been stripped of all comments, however the comments source code is provided as a text file.
Some additional tips for how to modify the code are also included in PDF format. Note I apologise that this is not a complete code break-down (as with my other projects). I hope to produce a more indepth document in the near future (when, I am unsure) as the code is a little more technical then my other projects, requiring some careful thought on how to best explain things clearly.
So - play it as-is, look at the coding and play with it for some learning fun, even edit the code and graphics to make it your own! Enjoy.
