Repto Compiler -C64-

by kraksnax

Kraksnax:

Ever dream of compiling your own Commodore 64 BASIC language programs into fast, efficient machine language programs? This is now a reality once again. Previously a tool used especially by only the last century's elite Basic programmers, wielded with almost godly power to turn many raw basic .prg (programs) into fast lean performing programs (.prg) [ .prg file on disk >> faster ,prg on disk], Kraksnax has released once again this classic diskette tool in late Summer 2023.

*** Help service: Need help with compiler or aid in compiling your C64 Basic 2.0 program? Visit and email us from our website @: https://kraksnax.bitbucket.io/

A good retro-vintage basic compiler S.E. to have in one's basic micro toolbox in order to compile many of your own Commodore 64 Basic language programs into faster, leaner programs. Disk and program file release.

Please enjoy, share and write more basic programs. Use Repto to convert many programs or even just use it as error-checker to debug your programs! Not every single basic program will compile with Repto, depending on various factors, but many will in an extremely simple process of selecting a raw Basic program on disk, hitting RETURN and then saving new compiled program to disk, executable and ready to go... Go.... GO!.

Basado en el magistral juego indie de 2017 Little Nightmares por EJVG

Es que EJVG puede con todo, primero fue el demake de Hollow Knight, Hallowed Knight, y ahora Tiny Nightmares, otro "demake" de un éxito de las consolas actuales, Little Nightmares... y un servidor se pregunta, ¿Tendremos la versión del Blasphemous para ZX Spectrum?

EJVG: "Tiny Nightmares está muy lejos del concepto original del juego sueco, pues las mecánicas de este, basadas muchas veces en la ambientación y el terror psicológico son difíciles de replicar en un Spectrum, por lo que este juego es más cercano a las video-aventuras clásicas de los 80 como Pyjamarama, no pretendiendo ser una versión, ni siquiera un demake, sino mas bien un juego inspirado en el inquietante universo creado por Tarsier Studios, y trasladarlo, al menos en parte, al ordenador de Sinclair".

Amazing platform by Sunteam

You are a medical nanobot called Tiny Peter. You have been sent inside the body of a sickly alien to help cure it of its disease. You have to make contact with the diseased cells in each area to remove them. But also be careful of the alien's natural defences which will sap your battery power on contact.

Each screen is a bit of a puzzle. You may have to find the optimal route to take to grab the cells. It's not always the obvious one!

Timing is essential. Don't rush.

A group of fans is currently hard at work on bringing the indie freeware classic Cave Story to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (as spotted by @dantemendes on Twitter).

Originally released in 2004 for home computers, Daisuke Amaya's indie Metroidvania was later released on a wide variety of consoles including the Nintendo Wii, DSi, 3DS, and Switch. The game follows a character who awakens in a cave with no memory of how they got there and eventually sees them befriending a community of bunny-like creatures called Mimigas in order to put a stop to an evil doctor's plan.

Andrew DeRosier is leading the development of the Mega Drive/Genesis port/rewrite, with altiereslima, tilderain, and Nasrin Atiyeh also listed among its contributors.

CAVE STORY for MEGA DRIVE

Original Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) was released in 2004 for PC, and later ported to other systems. It's a quintessential indie title. This Mega Drive port is at version 0.8.0: https://t.co/bbbvePTFLo #洞窟物語 #gamedev #chiptune #MegaDriveMonday pic.twitter.com/4IX5QDAgpA
— Dante retro dev 💾 (@dantemendes) August 21, 2023

According to the project page on Github, the "main story" of the game is already finished, with only bug fixes and some additional features remaining. It is currently at version 0.8.0, with the last update (from February of last year) adding simplified Chinese and Korean while addressing a few graphical glitches.

If you want to try it out, you can grab the latest version from the project's "releases" page. It should work on most emulators as well as original hardware.

MSXdev23 #14 Global Ordnance

Title: Global Ordnance
Genre: Tactical Simulation
Author(s): Fred Rique
Medium: ROM 128KB
Hardware requirements: MSX1, 64KB

As a prequel to Mine Command, the same author enters MSXdev23 with a new MSX1 game. But, this one’s not for the faint of heart. No, sir! This so called “tactical simulation” is quite hardcore. In the same vein as your typical text adventure game, Global Ordnance depends on text input. You are to man a forgotten, old, and deactivated defense station and ward off incoming attacks as well as it goes.

The game’s author, Fred Rique, rejoined the MSXdev23 competition with a game that demands patience, wit, strategy and clever tactics. If you find the game manual intimidating – 24 pages of instructions – and skip the RTFM process, you’ll be banging your head at the keyboard in no-time. This game has a steep learning curve. Don’t loose hope, as your people depend on your skills to work the battle station. Boot it up with “initialize” and take it from there.

The battle station you are controlling has warheads which you need to configure and deploy to destroy the enemy. The stations’ board computer is ancient, so be patient with it. On screen you’ll have the board sensor, view, contacts, ordnance, power, damage and console sections to guide you in your bravery. Use commands at the console to operate.

The game has in interesting set-up with several screens showing you statistics, live feed of information, a sensor, and 2d or 3d models to display. A game that probably doesn’t appeal to any game player, but certainly has depth and a potential to keep you occupied for hours.

Title: Bricks
Genre: Arcade
Author(s): MoltSXalats
Medium: DSK 720KB
Hardware requirements: MSX2, 128KB, MSX-Music

With Bricks, another MSX2 game gets enrolled in the competition. The goal for each stage in this game is simple – just reunite Joe and his cat friend Sam. Avoid falling bricks and you’ll be well on your way to success.

This game is set in the backyard of Joe and Sam, where they play ball. Just hanging out, having fun, their quality time together suddenly gets interrupted by falling debris caused by a nearby construction side. Goes again to show, that builders should always be careful where they put their tools and equipment. When they get sloppy, bricks start falling off scaffolds with big trouble as a result. Luckily, Joe is a young, agile sport who doesn’t mind jumping a bit to avoid such terrible accidents to happen. Reach the friendly cat friend Sam to save him from horror.
