ZX-Spectrum Boulder Dash editor

Post by atmavan »

Hi guys,

I am on one of Boulder Dash games lovers.
I played this game many years ago in my childhood.
And still playing it from time to time.
Also, from time to time I am making this game on different languages just for fun.
Last thing I did was an online game editor. It allows you to build your own caves and levels, and finally export them as native snapshot ZX-Spectrum file (.SNA), so you can play it on ZX-Spectrum or any emulator.
Also, one of special feature of the editor: you are building caves using original approach by making lines of objects, rectangles of objects, and filled rectangles, because this is how caves are written in old 8-bit PC versions.

There are some cool features like:

- downloading png map of all caves
- saving and loading your progress
- embedded zx-spectrum online emulator allows to play your levels straight away
- caves size has some limitation so editor check if you exceed them and gives proper warnings

Next step will be updating editor to export Commodore game.

Please feel free to try and give feedback.
Thank you!
