Ziel

Screen Shot

The C version

Go Back

Info

This is the second version of Ziel which is written using Turbo C++ 3.0. The game features 10(12 if you include the life bar and title) on screen sprites max, with no flicker. It also uses a custom font with upper and lower case support. Plus it will scroll the screen whenever you move to a new room.
The game plays similar Legend of Zelda, with a flexable engine to change many parts of the game without touching the code. Also, the program is pretty stable too.

Bugs

-If the map file is not in the right format, the game will quit
-The memory check at the beginning of the program might fail
-Screen scrolling is way to slow
-Object.lst file needs to have spaces between variables name and commas

Whats going in next?

Probally clean up a lot of the code and try to make it faster. Another thing I am hoping to add is joystick support. The last thing I will look into is sound. I am going to try to port the sound code that was in the Qbasic version which hopefully won't be too hard. Another thing I am going to add are some kind of menus, options, and some form of saving. Also I need to redo the map maker so it is easier to use and has mouse support so maps won't take an hour to make. Plus I am going to make some more graphics tiles(and possibly up the number of tiles to 100) to make it look nicer.
