Chase in ASCII - SierraKen - 09-20-2025
I got this idea from a 1990's Pac-Man type clone I made back then that has no walls. But this time I didn't make any power-ups either, just yellow coins to collect while running away from the monsters. And this entire game is in ASCII symbols and letters. Every other level is the same, so 2 different looking ones. The only thing I wish was better is that it's often hard to use the keys. It probably has to do with the GOSUBs after the keys are hit to make them work instantly, I might work with that more. It's a fairly hard game. It seems easy at first, but once the last few coins are left in a level, it's hard to get away from the monsters. The trick is to keep going past the sides of the window to end up on the other side. The monsters can't do that.
I hope you have some fun with this. I know it's not much, but this might be one of the first times I've ever used a two dimensional string array without any help with it. The main help I got from Chatgpt was the idea of using RND with the monsters so they don't constantly follow you. It also gave me the KEYHIT numbers for WASD key movement and arrow keys (both work).

RE: Chase in ASCII - ukdave74 - 09-20-2025
That's a fun little game. I tried writing something similar on my mate's Speccy back in the 80s. Never got it to work, though, as I had Commodores.

RE: Chase in ASCII - NakedApe - 09-20-2025
I like your game, Ken. It reminds me of an ASCII game I wrote a loooong time ago. This uses loops for pauses and lots of old school junk, but seems to run fine on QB64PE.

RE: Chase in ASCII - SierraKen - 09-20-2025
Thanks NakedApe! Yours is pretty cool! I noticed that the WASD keys on yours are needed to play though, because the arrow keys skip many places at once, unless maybe they are for warping? Good job!
Mine use the WASD keys also or arrow keys, both work. Eventually I might use mine as a template to make more sophisticated games.
RE: Chase in ASCII - NakedApe - 09-20-2025
Yes, it's two-handed game. WASD for single moves and arrow keys for bigger jumps. Glad you like.
