Joe Starman On Planet X (playable demo)

Added a script interpreter to the game. Right now it just prints messages if you walk on certain tiles.



Next I'm adding a level transition command to load into other levels.

Also, let's just say I don't miss BASIC and its weird dumb syntax...

Code:

' Run a script defined in the map
DEF FNParseScript (n)
  ' Wouldn't be basic without these dollar signs...
  script$ = scripttext(n)
  line$ = ""
  ' Split the script and run line by line
  WHILE LEN(script$) > 0
    linebreak = INSTR(script$, CHR$(10))
    IF linebreak > 0 THEN
      line$ = MID$(script$, 1, linebreak - 1)
      script$ = MID$(script$, linebreak + 1)
    ELSE
      line$ = script$
      script$ = ""
    END IF
    dummy = FNParseLine(line$)
  WEND
END DEF
