New MK14 game - CopyCat
I'm making the most of being away on holiday and have been working on a new MK14 game in the evenings!
The game is called CopyCat and is a number sequence memory game. On start-up the screen shows the MK14 numeric keypad layout and highlights a sequence of keys to be copied by the player using keys 1 to 9. The game has 6 levels Level 1: 5 number sequence (easy) Level 2: 6 number sequence Level 3: 7 number sequence Level 4: 8 number sequence Level 5: 9 number sequence Level 6: 10 number sequence (practically impossible for me) In Levels 1 to 5 you must correctly replicate 7 random number sequences before moving onto the next level. In Level 6 it's as many sequences (of 10 digits) as you can bare. You have 9 lives and if you get a sequence wrong you loose a life. At the end of 9 lives the game is over - press GO to start a new game. When the game is first loaded you are given the choice of using a VDU module that can display individual inverse video characters (e.g. RealView, MAME, modified SoC VDU, RPi module) or one that only displays 'normal' characters (e.g. original SoC VDU module, replica SoC VDU, OrtonView) - see the attached photo. This modifies the way the number sequence is displayed on the VDU. The attached CopyCat.zip contains the following files:
The program requires the following resources:
Photo and very short video clip attached. Hope you enjoy it! |

Re: New MK14 game - CopyCat
For completeness here is a CopyCat wav file for the standard MK14 tape interface. It takes 5 minutes 40 seconds to load so patience is definitely a virtue in this instance.
Load it to 0x200 and execute at 0x400. |
