Type-In BASIC Programs

[RT-55J]

Ran into this today:

GOBLINS.BAS - 1D roguelike for the C64 (61 lines)

Poasting here to remind myself to do something with it (play it? port it? make something like it?).

okay i played GOBLINS.BAS:



i was too lazy to type in the program myself, so i just dragged-n-dropped the .d64 disk image on the game's itch page into the emulator

it's not much of a game, but it's interesting. the screen is slow to redraw when you move. level generation has no logic (fully random). you just move back and forth collecting loot and keys, and moving goblins and doors out of the way until there's nothing else to do. still it's neat.

there is no "win condition", i guess this is technically "non-game."

i could see a kid interested in this back in the day modifying this code to add all sorts of interesting stuff (maybe i could be taht kid...)

Thoughts:

Maybe I could port this to the SMS. Once in CVBasic, once in Z80, and then once in C.

Maybe I could turn this into an actual game with decisions and a goal.

Maybe I could make my own type-in game.
