A rogue-like game made in BASICA on an 8086 IBM PS/2 Model 30 from 1987.
The code is build entirely in BASICA on an 8086 IBM PC running MS-DOS 3.30. The source utilizes POKE and PEEK commands to directly write to memory. As a result, emulation (like PC-BASIC) may not / will not work. DOSBOX and GW-BASIC may work - no testing has been performed yet.
Buidling and running the editor requires the following steps:
- LOAD "BUILD.BAS"
- RUN
- Repeat step #2 until the program runs (9x or 10x)
The program is split across several files to manage code editing in the BASICA editor. Thus, in order to run the program as a whole, it must be first "built" by merging all of the files into a single file. Once complete, the resulting file can be saved for future use (e.g., EDITOR.BAS).
Currently, only the editor exists. A key map describing all of the key functions will be added soon. The editor is fully functional for creating basic color text screens using most of the ASCII character set.
