Ladeks ZX


The loading screen!Blistering Gameplay!


This is Ladeks, a simple game for the 48k Spectrum written in C. I originally wrote it for the Nintendo Gameboy over a period of a few weeks (on and off) for the Second Bung Amateur Gameboy Coding Competition way back in 1999. When I came across z88dk on the 'net, I set about converting Ladeks to the Spectrum as a 'test' for the compiler and tools. And several months later (on and off!) here's the result! It's 'suspiciously similar' to the old UNIX Daleks/Zombies games of yore.

Is it improved over the original Gameboy version? Yes. A bit. I've added colour, because the Speccy can do that and the Gameboy couldn't. And I added some mostly crap sound effects just as an experiment to see how z88dk's sound routines worked. The loading screen is a Speccy exclusive too! In all, this version is better than the original. But you knew that already - it's on the Spectrum!
