Willi - Axe contest entry 2011
« on: June 19, 2011, 08:42:59 am »
Willi is a very old dos game. I played it a lot when I was young. We had win95 those days. Unfortunately there is no documentation of this glitchy game at all. On newer pc-s it runs an illegal function call in the beginning of the game. I reconstructed the game based on my memory and some graphics I found on the CD-rom


Story:
Willi is a puzzle/strategy game in which you must move quickly. Willi the caveman is hungry and you must help him eat moss while avoiding falling rocks.

I'm working on a TI83/84 version. (I just luv this game  ;D)

The engine is done. I have to add some features such as highscores, menus, lives and more stages. Maybe I'll put a level editor in it just like the original game had.
The original game had some primitive sound effects too, but I really can't remember those. When there is time left I will consider sound effects.


I upload the game soon :)

Woo! I'd like to try that on-calc, good luck!

Make sure to work hard on it, there's not too much time left.

It's hard to optimize code under pressure :S

I have an emulator now, so I recorded a simple test level. Do you like it so far?

This looks nice. Do you think you could add textures to the floor like in the original version?

You might also want to exclude the top row from your maps, it looks like you get cut off by the text.  Cool game, reminds me of Dig Dug a little.

Yes I tought about that earlier, cuz you wont see a thing there. Maybe I remove the score feature and put the time in an 8*8 cube so that I have bigger levels. The time square will always be solid and maybe the player could push the time square too :D.

No, no, no, no you can't, you can't release any code or executable program before the deadline!

looks good! maybe you could look for some videos on YouTube or try running the game in dosbox if you need to look at the original.

There is not even the slightest bit of information. I found everything on the back of the cd case.
