Cannon Bubble FULL source code release
--------------------------------------
So here it is, the full source code release of the game by CEZ GS. Full means:
- All source code is included
- All sprites/screen$ are included
- Full music is included
- Full makefile is included, so you can just type 'make' and get your own TAP
- Test binaries are included for the lazy ones among you
In addition to this you get some bonuses:
- 1 player level designer, a +3 utility we used to create the levels
- A modified version of the VT player by Sergey Bulba, including an effect
player by WYZ
- A slightly adapted version of the aplib decompressor by dwedit
Requirements
------------
You need the following components to get a compiled game:
- z88dk official release 1.6, from www.z88dk.org
- splib2, from http://www.geocities.com/aralbrec/#SP
You must recompile the library using the modified SPconfig.def included in
the "additional" subdir.
- Pasmo assembler, from http://www.arrakis.es/~ninsesabe/pasmo/
- BIN2TAP, from http://zeroteam.sk/bin2tap.html
- BAS2TAP, from ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/generic/bas2tap24-generic.zip
- APACK compressor from http://www.smspower.org/maxim/smssoftware/aplib.html
or http://www.ibsensoftware.com/download.html
- CPCFS for the +3 release, from http://www.426.ch/cpcfs/
- And some kind of make utility (use GNU Make, for example)
The DSK version is not fully generated with the makefile, some manual work
is required. Just play around and see ;).
Warnings, disclaimers and licensing
-----------------------------------
The designer uses TAPSPLIT, which is GPL'd. You can get the source code from
http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/ZX/unix.html
First of all, some licensing words:
"The world would be a happier place if we all shared our source code"
As you will see, I have used code from different sources, and I don't want
to bother you with licensing terms. Just do what you want with the code,
provided that you do not try to harm anyone with it ;).
Of course I will be more than happy if you do something with the code and let
me know.
That said, some more warnings:
- The code is provided AS IS, no guarantees
- The code is barely readable in some areas, with lots of global variables.
Believe me, that makes code size smaller, and I desperately needed to reduce
code size.
- Most of the code is in English with reasonable comments... but there is some
Spanish here and there. Sorry, I'm too lazy to translate now.
- If you have any trouble while playing around with the code, just let me know.
I will try to help if I have some free time.
