RESCUE
\nRAN RAN<\/p>\n

A group of people got into an accident at Asteroid Park; oh my, how terrible! What’s more, because of the location, there’s rocks everywhere. Hurry up and rescue the panicking victims while navigating around the asteroids.<\/p>\n

KEY Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Move the rescue ship left and right with the left and right cursor keys.<\/p>\n

Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you feel the game is too easy, change the ‘RND(1)>.2’ number in line 160 to a value from .1 to .15.
\nLines 410 and 420 change the colours of the characters, something I’ve discovering while prodding around the VRAM area.
\nThe reverse scrolling is done by the machine code from “11,C0,…” at line 580 to “..18,BB” at line 620. If you want to use that routine for your own, add F3 at the beginning and C9 at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
