Yeah, the loading is a bit clunky – it had to be like that because of the compo rules. We couldn’t put the graphics after the BASIC code [...]
Umm, this game me pause. So much so that I went back and re-read the rules. This is what I found:
"Ebbe a csoportba azok az játékok tartoznak, amelyekben tisztán csak BASIC utasításokat tartalmaznak. Természetesen lehet SYS utasításokkal KERNAL/BASIC területre hívni.
Amennyiben van DATA sorokban POKE-al bevitt gépi kódú adat, annak maximális hossza nem haladhatja meg az 1024 bájtot." | "This group includes games that contain only pure BASIC instructions. Of course, you can call KERNAL/BASIC area with SYS instructions.
If there is machine code data entered with POKE in DATA lines, its maximum length cannot exceed 1024 bytes." |
This is clearly talking about code, not data. You can save your BASIC program (pure BASIC), plus the data. Use a couple of POKEs to adjust the variable start pointers. No machine code. No loading. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but are you guys saying that this is somehow excluded by the rules?
