A game by Giuseppe Mignogna for the Commodore Plus/4
v0.8 (04/2022)


=====================================
INTRO
=====================================
A little game I wrote for the Crazy Climber challenge issued
by the Facebook group "Retro Programmers Inside".
This compiled version should run on Plus/4 or an expanded C16.
I tested it with Yape 1.1.7 and plus4emu 1.2.9.2.


=====================================
GAME OBJECTIVE
=====================================
The objective of the game is to climb all the buildings as
quickly as possible. To complete a map, you need to beat
the high score set for that map. Initially, they are set
to default values, than they will be set to the player's
hi-scores. That means that the second time you play the
maps, you will run against yourself.

Keep in mind that:
- You can JUMP almost on each element of the building;
- You can DOUBLE JUMP over many elements (like closed
windows or the void), in vertical or horizontal
direction;
- You can stay on top of spiky windows, but you can't
jump or double jump over them;
- Sometimes you need to wait until a closed window
becomes open, to complete a map section;
- There is a random map just for training. It can happen
that there is no way to complete it. In that case, go
back to the title screen by pressing F1 and select the
random map again.


=====================================
CONTROLS
=====================================
- To PLAY the game: use a joystick in port 1;
- To START the game: press fire;
- To JUMP: move the stick in any direction;
- To DOUBLE JUMP: press fire, keep it pressed and move
the stick.


=====================================
MAP EDITOR
=====================================
The game has an experimental map editor.
- To activate it: while playing a map, press SHIFT+E;
- To change and select a tile: SHIFT+A or SHIFT+D;
- To past the last selected tile: SHIFT+C;
- To fill the map with the last selected tile: SHIFT+F;
- To print the map data to the screen: SHIFT+W;
- To exit the editor mode: press SHIFT+E again.

Would you contribute to this game with a map? Than use
YAPE to make one, print it to the screen and copy it
to the clipboard. Paste it to a text file and send it to
me! I'll add the map and your name in a future release.
