Installation:
|
|
|
|
Just put these files in your qbasic programs folder. Make sure the WAV and BCK files are in their appropriate folders
|
|
within the root directory. You must then edit the program file to change the line:
|
|
|
|
CHDIR "c:\glenn\qb45\assault"
|
|
|
|
to whatever directory you put the program in.
|
|
Then run it and enjoy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Game Play:
|
|
|
|
This is a game of weapons and destruction that relies upon the properties of physics as well as your skill.
|
|
There can be up to 4 players on up to 4 teams playing at one time. Each player controls a tank that is equiped with
|
|
various weapons. You can set the amount of ammo for each of these devices in the Configuration. You can also use
|
|
the Configuration to set the amount of health you start with, player names, teams, control keys, and other options.
|
|
|
|
At the top of the screen is the current player's info bar. At the left side is the player's name. To the right, is
|
|
that player's health meter. Right of the meter is a long rectangle with an arrow underneith it. The rectangle is the
|
|
player's fire power meter. The arrow is the current wind factor (Wind affects projectiles, but not players jumping).
|
|
At the far right is a picture of the player's current weapon selection. To the left of this image is the amount of ammo
|
|
for the selected weapon. Under the weapon's image is the current setting number for that weapon.
|
|
|
|
You move your tank with the Left and Right keys. You can adjust you gun's aim with the Up and Down keys. To select
|
|
a weapon you can press F1 through F7. Once you select a weapon you can adjust the setting on it
|
|
by pressing 1, 2, or 3. Here is a chart showing each weapon and what the setting is used for:
|
|
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| Key | Weapon | Description | Setting |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F1 | Cannon | Basic cannon | # of bullets per fire * |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F2 | Grenade | Grennade that bounces | # of sec's before detonation|
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F3 | Mine | Trip mine | Distance to be tripped ** |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F4 | Digger | Strange digging bullet | Nothing | <- I want to get rid of these.
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ They don't usually work.
|
|
| F5 | Flame Thrower | Frys anything in it's way | Length of flame |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F6 | Booster Jump | You can jump in the air | Nothing (Maybe later) |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
| F7 | Cluster Bomb | Explodes into bullets | # of bullets * |
|
|
+-----+-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|
|
|
|
* The explosions from these weapons are larger if the setting # is smaller
|
|
** The benefit from a smaller trip radius is it will inflict more damage because it's closer to the player
|
|
|
|
The Fire key launches each weapon except the Booster jump. To jump use the Jump key and then hit it again while
|
|
you are in the air to get another boost (You must have the Booster Jump readied, so hit F6).
|
|
|
|
For the projectile weapons (Cannon, grenade, digger, and cluster), you hit the Fire key once and then a meter in the info
|
|
bar will immediately start to go up. Hit Fire again to launch the projectile with the force of the meter (If you let the
|
|
meter go all the way up, it will automatically fire with full force).
|
|
|
|
There are various environments to fight in. You can also make your own for levels to fight in. If you
|
|
can't figure out how to do this, e-mail me (powell98@pacbell.net) for instructions. I have included an example level
|
|
called "HILL", so check it out (Only edit the HILL.LVL file, the "HILL.TRF" is a BSAVE image).
|
|
You can also e-mail me for any questions, comments, or just to chat. I can help you to make changes such as new weapons
|
|
which are actually really easy to implement.
|
|
|
|
<!!! WARNING !!!>
|
|
If the game uses too much memory, I have another low-grade version that uses a lot less. There are no background images,
|
|
or high-quality sounds, but it is still fun. E-mail me for more info.

Known Tweaks:
|
|
|
|
(Sorry my code isn't commented, but I will comment it soon)
|
|
|
|
- The grenades and player jumping work decently, but it would be nice if they worked better.
|
|
|
|
- The digger needs a lot of work, but if you can figure this one out on your own, you are a god! E-mail me for some
|
|
tips and ideas.
|
|
|
|
- E-mail me any other bugs that you find.
