idea for a new c64 game :)
..has anyone checked out the game Armadillo Run for the PC. IT is quite good and a snip at £10. A demo of the game can be played here: http://www.armadillorun.com/
After playing Armadillo Run it got me thinking. Using tiles (2x2 character squares) i'm sure a similar game could be made for the c64 :)
The basic idea of the game is to get an Armadillo (ball) from point'a' to point 'b' with the aid of various shapes and objects.

oh yeah, and why not? if C64 can do pinball, then i am sure it could handle having various shapes (2x2 characters) moved around the screen to solve the problem of getting a ball from 'a' to 'b' :)
For angles things could be kept simple:
virtical - horizontal and 45 and 22.5 and 77.5 :)
As for different surface types, well they'll simply make the Armadillo (ball) move fast or slower :) |

Wile: I have a feeling i have seen at least dozen games on c64 withat that idea - changing 2x2 character squares and moving object from point a to b. Strangely - i cant get any name pop in my head at the moment. At least some were released in Magic Disc afair. |

Armadillo Run! THANX FOR THAT GAME! =)
Doing it on a C64 while maintaining the fun and the feeling of it, forget it imo. |

@GP: Yep, same base idea, but in a 21st century edition with much more advanced physics. |

I vaguely remember playing a similair game many many years ago. Don't remember the name but chances are I sucked at it.
1 will give you 5 that, if this game ever gets done on c64, a cover of 'Way To Amarillo' will be the tune in it :Z |
