Car race is a game writen by Saso Tomat en 1987. Some Saso's words about this game :

  • Load the program via serial interface (CE-130T). If there are more than one file for each program (for example, carr04.txt, carr04a.txt...) then check all the files for the instruction how to load the program
  • Use DEF 'A' for starting the game
  • Keys are: Q,Z,I,P -up,down,left,right, H-pause,T-beep on/off
  • The main goal of the game is to 'drive' a dot from 'S' (start) to 'C' (cilj in Slovene - Finish in English)
  • IMPORTANT : if you use the 'T' key (toggles beep on and off) the program will ALWAYS continue in the LEFT direction, even the dot went up, down, or right, so be carefull (make sure you have enough free space on the left side of the dot. Try and you will see. If the sound is on the computer will beep every time you press a key for movement (q,z,i,p). This helps when there's not much space on the track.
  • These games were developed some time ago (1987+). All I did was just a translation and split lines if they were to long for the transfer (ERROR 6 occurs if the line is too long).
  • I tried different approaches in storing graphic data, that's why there are so many different variants of displaying track layouts (from GPRINT, POKEd graphic information in the lines after REM to separately stored graphic information in the memory, like ML)

    In this level, the landscape is in a data file. To load it, RUN the program starting line 1000, load data of gfx.dat from the RS-232 and then, starts the game.
    2 landscapes can be used in this level.

    CAUTION CAUTION : graphics data are poked inside the BASIC program (replacing REM line). So this program MUSTN't be merged and the START BASIC pointer can't be changed. You were warned ;-D

    First of all, load and run Loader.bas ; it will load from the RS-232 2 set of data (files first.dat and second.dat. Then load level5.bas.

    CAUTION CAUTION : binary data are loaded in &2700->&27C5 and &4E20->>&5527.
