Text adventure with bitmap graphics.

[||C|-|E||]

Hello!

I was thinking about creating a text adventure, because they are my favorite games in the CPC, and I thought that maybe you could help me with a few questions I have .  The main problem is that I would like the game to have bitmap graphics, not vectorial ones. However, the parsers I know (mainly QUILL, PAWS and DAAD) do not allow the insertion of these type of graphics in the games (to my knowledge). So, I was wondering if some of you knows a suitable parser to do this or a way to use the previous ones with bitmaps.

Thank you!

Well, if I would have the time then i would do it from scratch to use the specific powers of the CPC.

Hi  [[C|-|E]], long time

PAWs supports bitmap graphics through an Art patch included The Illustrator (the Illustrator is for The Quill), I used it to create Nheredia Nheredia but they are MODE 1.
For Arquímedes XXI we used Split screen to use MODE 0 for graphics and MODE 1 for texts but the main program is made in BASIC.

Yeah, good oportunity to write a good parser of your own!!!

Thank you for your answers guys! I sadly, I do not have the time or the skills to create a parser from scratch, but it is great to know that I can use bitmaps with PAWS, I assumed that I would nee to use Illustrator, same as with the Quill . Good news is that Mode 1 graphics are more than enough for what I would like to do.

Hello!!

Yes, long time no see! Now I am living in London but I was in Germany for 1 year and a half doing my first postdoc there and things got crazy. Now I have settled down a bit and I would like to continue doing things with the CPC

Great !! Remember you have the manual of PAW (and more) translated to Spanish at Parsers

[||C|-|E||]

Yes, thank you  ! although I am thinking about making it in English, probably with a Spanish translation if I have time. I guess that it could reach more people that way, Amstrad CPC community is pretty small nowadays .

Oh well... Amstrad PCW community is nano small then.
