Hi,
Is a very simple arcade game ??? . At the moment it is a beta. Do not hit me too much ;D ;D ;D
Everything is very much improved, created with AGD version 1.4.I already have an operative version of my game for AMSTRAD created with AGD "Try to Run Away". ... is a thorn that had stuck since childhood and thanks to AGD I was able to remove it. https://lwsoftblog.wordpress.com/descargas/I hope it is not the worst game ever for Amstrad CPC
Well done, I have downloaded and played and it is definitely not the worst CPC game ever. :P Congrats on being able to fulfill a childhood dream. :)
I enjoyed the fact that the game is so forgiving with the health meter, because it is a very hard game (or my skills are low!) I did struggle with the ladders. They seem hard to navigate and get on / off and it is easy to fall down them, however I did get better the more I played.
Once again, well done.
Nothing to be ashamed of! It's a simple but effective game, and there are a lot of of people who are fond of platformers such as this one. The only real problem is the ladder, as Morri said. The character falls when the top is reached.
Good luck finishing the game (it's often the hardest part...)!
From the screenshot seems my kind of thing.
I will try it in a few days.
Thank you.

Definitely not, but the game is reporting MEMORY FULL in 330 after I've selected to play the Joystick Version on my emulated 464 and I didn't want to start poking about with your Protected BASIC file. I can hear the file start to load before the MEMORY FULL error occurs, which could either mean the File itself is set at a Lower Address or MEMORY hasn't being set low enough, though it's working on the 6128. I'm guessing there maybe a similar problem with the Keyboard version, though I haven't tested ???

Thanks,
I'm going to reduce the difficulty a bit and try to improve the behavior of the ladders.

Thank you very much, I will try to solve the problem of the ladders

Hi,
The same thing happens to me in a real CPC. But I do not know so much about memory management in the CPC to solve it (In emulators it works me perfectly)
This is the loader code:
10 CLS
20 MODE 1
30 LOAD"LOAD.SCR" : call &c7d0
40 FOR j = 1 TO 1500: NEXT j
50 CLS
60 MODE 0
180 INK 1,1: INK 2,6,22: INK 3,19: INK 4,26: BORDER 14: PEN 3: MODE 0:PAPER 10: CLS
190 LOCATE 5,4: PRINT"TRY TO RUN AWAY"
200 LOCATE 5,5: PRINT"________________"
210 LOCATE 1,24: PRINT CHR$(164);: PRINT"lws-2017-Made w AGD"
220 '
230 ' Menu de juegos
240 '
250 PEN 1: LOCATE 3,10: PRINT"1 - KEYBOARD"
260 LOCATE 3,12: PRINT"2 - JOYSTICK"
280 '
290 ' Bucle del programa
300 '
310 A$="":WHILE A$<"1" OR A$>"2":A$=INKEY$:WEND
320 IF INKEY(64)=0 THEN LOCATE 3,10: PEN 2: PRINT"1 - KEYBOARD": LOCATE 8,18: PEN 4: PRINT"Loading...": PAPER 0:MEMORY &3500: LOAD "keyb.bin": CALL &3500
330 IF INKEY(65)=0 THEN LOCATE 3,12: PEN 2: PRINT"2 - JOYSTICK": LOCATE 8,18: PEN 4: PRINT"Loading...": PAPER 0:MEMORY &3500: LOAD "game.bin": CALL &3500
340 MEMORY &3500
350 CALL &3500
What I can be doing wrong??
What I noticed in Line 330 is what you've set memory to. So for the "game.bin" file, if it begins at &3500, MEMORY needs to be set 1 Lower than that which will make it &34FF, this amended line should work:
330 IF INKEY(65)=0 THEN LOCATE 3,12: PEN 2: PRINT"2 - JOYSTICK": LOCATE 8,18: PEN 4: PRINT"Loading...": PAPER 0:MEMORY &34FF: LOAD "game.bin": CALL &3500
Another thing I noticed in Line 30, is your screen file compressed do you know? If it's just a standard Screen, I don't know what that CALL &C7D0 is doing unless it's a routine to uncompress a screen. Standard screen has an origin of &C000, LOAD"LOAD.SCR",&C000 or LOAD"LOAD.SCR" should do the trick if it's just a standard 17kb screen.

Thank you very much, this afternoon I try it !!
My advice is to set MEMORY at the start of your program.
MEMORY defines the memory range BASIC can use to store it's variables and data. It can't touch memory >= MEMORY. So if you set it to &3500, it can't touch &3500 or above.
BASIC starts at &170 with the program, it puts variables below HIMEM and works backwards I think.
When you tried it on an emulator did you choose the 464 configuration?

Seems to playing a bit nicer now. Unfortunately I encountered an unusual bug on this screen:
[attachimg=1]
My little character simply froze there while everything continued moving, which I think was when those corrupt square sprites appeared. There's also some funny stuff happening with one of the two faces when it goes off the right side of the screen and emerges on the left side.

Hi,
This is the download link to the latest (and final version) of "TRY TO RUN AWAY" for CPC
lwsoftblog.wordpress.com/descargas/ (http://lwsoftblog.wordpress.com/descargas/)
New features:
Correction of damage detection.
Correction of some corrupt screens.
New graphics (Hero, some enemies and other graphics)
New menu, with music (A thousand thanks to McKlain)
New end to the game!
Cdt Version.
Awesome! i will play it :D
Fantastic!!!
Nice game! I couldn't finish it but explored 30 rooms at least.
Just one remark: is it normal that every time you enter a room, the bonus reappear even if you've already taken them before? It makes the game easier, which is fine I guess :).
Saving this.
Me and my mates are planning on a retro-gaming day some time in April.
I'm way behind checking out the new Amstrad CPC games. :)

Yes, that's right!!
The difficulty is finding all the gems and finding the exit!!
I played <try to run away> and i think its a very good game! i really enjoyed it!!! I finished it!
Well done my friend! And i think its not a simple game!
What made me enjoyed a lot is that i downloaded the map, and it really helped, as many times you get lost!
Congrats!
Did you use the new AGD compiler for it ?
a short intro video made by me to show game :D
