Another / Out-of-This World Demake for Apple II+

|
|
+ The game "Another World" was released in 1991.
|
|
Written by Eric Chahi.
|
|
It was eventually ported to many systems (I played it on IBM PC).
|
|
|
|
It even got an Apple IIgs port (the IIgs is 16-bit with fancy
|
|
graphics and sound). However you couldn't play it on
|
|
earlier Apple II systems... until now.
|
|
|
|
+ I was inspired to do this by this amazing PICO-8 version of:
|
|
https://liquidream.itch.io/another-world-survival
|
|
|
|
and thought the Apple II lo-res palette (15 colors, 40x48 graphics)
|
|
might be just barely enough to do it justice.
|

==================

Game controls:
|
|
==================
|
|
Keyboard:
|
|
Note, Apple II has simplistic keyboard support.
|
|
In general it's not possible to read more than one key at a time.
|
|
Additionally, on older models there's no auto-repeat unless you
|
|
hold down the REPT key, which makes running difficult.
|
|
This means it's really not possible to use the keyboard the
|
|
same way as the original game.
|
|
|
|
D -> - move right (twice to run)
|
|
A <- - move left (twice to run)
|
|
W up - jump
|
|
S down - crouch / pickup
|
|
space - kick / gun
|
|
|
|
During the intro, you can press R to make it repeat forever.
|
|
|
|
Joystick support: none yet?

Intro Memory squeeze!

|
|
10,748 over all graphics in
|
|
10,734 over remove extraneous blank bg image
|
|
8,658 over re-arrange memory map, 42k avail now
|
|
8,562 over move gr_make_quake out of common code
|
|
8,374 over remove extraneous code (mostly put_sprite_flipped)
|
|
5,469 over allow changing bg on fly in sequence
|
|
4,122 over modify cyan frames to be on fly
|
|
2,749 over do same for zappo routines
|
|
2,493 over squish disk loader vars to page 3
|
|
2,165 over horrible hack to auto-go to next image in sequence
|
|
2,114 over move bg loading into seq
|
|
2,053 over make elevator indicator a loop
|
|
1,347 over use LZ4 instead of RLE
|
|
|
|
Gave up, see if we can compress in chunks and decompress, sort of like
|
|
my chiptune player does.
