I've investigated cartridges and I currently have an electronics engineer creating my own cartridge PCB, based closely on Commodore's original design.

Apache of the Dead is now planned to be a 32K cartridge but still compatible with the C16 and Plus/4.

Hi,

    Thanks for your response.

Was the bug you found seen when doing a binary file import of map data? Yes.

Thanks

It get's better and better with each new release.

A couple of additions to the program would be really time saving.

1. Is there any chance you can add a search for a char facility? My map design covers 64x6400 chars and finding a rogue char is a logistical nightmare.

2. Is it possible to increase the re-tiling operation to utilise more than 65536 tiles. To tile my maps takes 102496 tiles which I can't with a limit of 65536. The only way I can create a tile map is to export the map, then import the map back into CharPad. The trouble is it then breaks the colour map.

I've also discovered a bug.  If I import a map of size 64x1250 it works fine. Increasing this over 1250 causes issues whereby graphic rows are missed and the imported image gets compressed. If the map was square 640x640 this issue doesn't occur.

Thank you. I'm thinking about porting it to the VIC20 elbeit in a slightly different screen format.

I've just added the Plus4World created .prg file to download.

Thank you so much for reviewing my game. This is loosely based on the arcade game, Empire City 1931. Pressing the space bar allows you to hide behind a wall, to avoid being shot. The downside is that your sight moves.

If you avoid getting shot you get a "Defence Bonus".

If you don't waste a bullet you get the other bonus, it's name evades my memory.

Later on in the game there are crates that you can shoot to get bonuses.

Alternatively you can buy the games direct from me.
You can paypal me at FantasySoftwareDesigns@gmail.com. The price is £10 each. I can do all 4 games for £35.

Yes it's available on Ebay.

I was using CBMPrgStudio’s sprite/char editor but with each release it gets progressively worse to the point it’s now not worth the effort. Now I use CharPad pretty much exclusively I colour manually which is a bit of effort.

Any chance of C16/+4 support?

I ran out of memory sadly. I used it to create the high score table and entry.

The reason I released only the .tap is that you'd miss out on the gorgeous Tommi "Electric" Musturi loading screen.
I will offer a .prg as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome piece of software.
Apologies, only just realised there is a pro version. Now purchased. #awks
