ACME, inc. IS OUT!

ACME, inc. (10 liner)
A downloadable game

ACME, inc. (10 liner) is a  game written in ugBASIC and that runs on various 8-bit home computers like ATARI 400/800/XL/XETRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER 1/2 and OLIVETTI PRODEST PC-128.

This game is a arcade game for one player. The aim of the game is to make the coyote run for as long as possible, avoiding the barrels that roll towards him. The more barrels you avoid, the higher the score. It is a self-competiting game, and it is designed for one player.

This game joins the "BASIC10Liner" competition 2024: the game itself is modest in size, and each source code respects strong constraints on the length of each line (category: EXTREME-256), and it does not rely on third party libraries. 

This cross-platform game would not have been possible without using ugBASIC: it is an isomorphic language and it has cross compilers that works on Linux and Windows, that directly converts high level algorithms into the assembly equivalent for the given CPU / computer.
