Title: New game: "Light Grid"
Post by: mr_lou on 15:42, 28 May 23
LuBlu Entertainment (me and girlfriend) has made a new little arcade game for the Amstrad CPC using CPCtelera: "Light Grid"

It is basically a 2-player Tron Light Cycle game with a few variations:

- You can drive at 3 speeds; slow, normal and fast (pressing FIRE 1 for speedup and FIRE 2 to brake)
- You have energy, so you don't die at first hit - unless you hit the walls
- Collect power-ups to increase your energy.

Game DSK attached here. Hope you like it.

Thanks!

What emulator are you using? The title screen is flashing like crazy. Not supposed to flash that much.
I get the same flashing result with CPCEC though - but that's via Wine, so thought that might be why.
Retro Virtual Machine looks awesome. Haven't tried other emulators.

I thought the flashing is a nice effect :-) Like a neon-light before failing. 

Not sure what Saberman used but I gave it a try in the JS emulator tiny.js (https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/cpc.html - just drag/drop the DSK to the emulator window and you can use it - sound as a bit chunky in Chrome but good in Firefox)

Cool music!  I like the text loading instructions, reminds me a little of Scout Steps Out. :)
