Thanks to our judges Skylark, RoSS, Wervyn, and asgromo

Please note that if anyone submits a game to the DoZ designed to break MZX in the future that they will be banned from any further DoZes hosted by me.

Great job, people.

I spent more time writing that bullshit scoresheet than you spent making your damn game.

Hey, why don't YOU try writing a MZX game with a hex editor.

Of course, that leads to the obvious question: why should a MZX world be able to break MZX? But hey, whatever. It wasn't designed solely to break MegaZeux (you can see some lesborific Robotic code at the end of the MZX file -- I think I messed up something in the RLE2 board data), I just ran out of time because I thought sleep was more important.

Indeed. MZX should never crash. It's not up to people to write non-crashing code, it's up to MZX to fix that.

Which is something that we're constantly trying to do, but I think we've kinda trusted the contents of world files up until now. That'll be fun to fix...

Then there's .SAVs as well, but the code for loading worlds and .SAVs is shared anyway, so no problem there. MZMs? Fine. Charsets and palettes? I dunno if they can overflow or not, but if they can, that's fair game. load_bc robotic? Yep.

Really? And here's me thinking 9 was a clear winner.

that mira game or whateverseems to have done well. who made that/ and sorry if that question is answered somewhere else:P

[GetDizzy]

Logicow and Madbrain. And its answered in the fucking first post.

[CJA]

Well, I pretty much got what I expected.

[LogiCow]

Thanks.

A few explanations:

I had to go halfway though because I worked the next day. We could have done better if I had the whole period, although it turned out fine.

There's only one real bug I had.
Enemies sometimes had their collision triggered, even if they weren't colliding with anything. It made them move away to wrong places or even get stuck in a collision loop, slowing the game down to a crawl. Bad stuff.
There's also a minor bug where if you pressed jump as you changed board you'd be stuck jumping all the time until you pressed jump again.

I even had occasions where the collision triggered, but the ammount of collisions was zero. I still can't explain that.

When people first mentioned our game, they figured it was "Logicow's" because of the SMZX graphics. Guess what? I did not draw a single thing in the game. It's all madbrain or my sister.

Madbrain drew Mira and the level tilesets.

My sister helped a lot. She drew every enemy, ammo and health overlay icons, explosions, bullets. Captain Skullbones was animated funny.

(The very squished enemies are things she drew in standard resolution and that didn't get adapted for SMZX. It wasn't bad enough to be worth fixing.)


I did the game code. Jumping. Swording. Gunning. Enemies. Particles. Boss. Platform. Cannons. Health and ammo. Bottomless pits and spikes. I'll admit, the particles were pretty "logicow-ish".


I made levels up to the point where the char set first changes. After that, it's all Madbrain. He made up some tiled editor to go faster. That's why all my levels are like 50x200 and his are like 100x500.

By the time I left, we had my levels and the boss functional, but no sound.

I wasn't there when the voice acting was done.

I believe Madbrain was short on time towards the end, because we planned to have images like the title screen for the plot and for the ending.


Still, Madbrain, my sister and I all did a great job, and it all worked out in the end.

No, seriously, there are no bragging rights. Don't even pretend.
