#pseudo 3d

And this is my drawing based on Ultimate Doom (MS DOS). Mars turned out to be dangerous. And there were many monsters there. Ghosts. Demons. All emerged from sealed portals. The Martian explorers didn't even know what this planet held in its sands. The portals opened like old wounds. And the bleeding began. Monsters. Monsters everywhere!

These rocks shouldn't have been touched. Especially not exposed to radiation. But it's too late now. You go there, to the plains. To repel the monsters. Reflect the fires of hell. As much as you can. Flying away from here is unrealistic.

The plot is kind of low-budget. Category B from a VHS tape. And I've already tried to learn the engine this year. And I haven't managed it yet. I took the lessons. But I didn't have the energy for practical work on the engine. And I realized something else, for a simple 3D shooter. Even for a simple one. You have to draw a lot! I don't have that kind of energy yet! So I continue my training!

And one day that day will come. VHS, category B. Action thriller. Mysticism. Magic. Both the engine and my drawings. They will do the job!

Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Version 1.18 has a name “Duckling”.  And it is dedicated to duckling. And theme of countryside and summer. So, a positive. For this time, it is 4 new games. Puddles at the Countryside, Duckling Pseudo 3D, Road at Countryside, Duckling Goes 2D.

Summer games. For good mood and positive! Funny ducklings are running! Big and small! It is so fun! And how cool to have a walk after the little rain! And about a road to a countryside - it is whole adventure! And duckling is running and jumping!

And one more thing, there is here a game about a big doing quack-quack duckling! There is sound! He speaks quack-quack! And runs by the field and water. And he collects duckling-coins!

This time I do programming with QB64. It is modern version of QBasic.

Basic Pascal version 1.18 "Duckling" – most newest version. In this version there are 4 new games! Puddles at Countryside, Duckling Pseudo 3D, Road to Countryside, Duckling Goes 2D. And even more retro games! It is a pack of retro games with modern versions of Basic and Pascal.

After level - additional animation, as duckling runs beyond the screen. And, it is shown game menus. Green and summer by colors!

There are sounds in game, now. Duckling speaks - quack! Random way. Quack! Quack-quack! And, when you get little coin - then, also, a sound of funny ducklings!

Basic Pascal version 1.17 "BLOCK" – most newest version. In this version there are 4 new games! Platform Ball, Cabin Pilot, Free Blocker, Free Bee. And even more retro games! It is a pack of retro games with modern versions of Basic and Pascal.

It is now in development new version Basic Pascal pack games. This game will be included in a new version.

Everything is going with the reduction, decrease. For example, level has 3 little cubes. You knock off three cubes. Now two cubes will appear. You knock off two cubes. Now 1 little cube will appear. And only after it goes to digit 0 – level will be complete! So, everything is about a starting digit with the numbers of cubes. For the first level it is small digit. 1, for example. For last level – there will be 4.

This means, that at the last level you need to knock off, at first, 4 little cubes. Later, there will be 3 of them to appear. And you knock off 3. Later, it will be to appear 2. You knock off two. And appear 1 little cubes. You knock off 1 little cube. And only now level will be complete.

It is not hard. And game is not long at all. So, I even, raise amount of levels double time. And it is double levels. So, levels are duplicated. First level, as idea, repeats two times. And so on. First two levels – about one little cube. With level three and four – about two little cubes. And this way up to four little cubes. For level seven and eight.

Little cubes are generating random way with a required amount. And they keep their position whole 5 seconds. And after this, they, again, generate a new position.

Little cubes, they are colorful. Two colors. Bezel and little cube itself. Total 15 colors for selection. Background- it is black. Colors are with random way for cubes. And you need with your throwing little cubes to hit these cubes. As bowling. It was my analog. But here it is with little cubes. And fantastic. Look, lines are flashing in the sides. And they change their color.

So, it is something about tech. And about a future. It is somekind of fantastic. Maybe, it is electric devices. Or quantum little cubes. Who knows. Yes, simply little cubes. Abstract little cubes. Game with cubes! As you as a child play with little cubes! Different colors for cubes! What purpose? I don’t know! But they are colorful little cubes! And this is interesting! I am – that’s for sure, played with little cubes!

You just need knock off little cubes. Control is same as previous game – B Ball.

 Arrows left and right – move with 1 pixel

 <  >  - move with 50 pixels

[ ]   - move with 25 pixels

Space – throw a little cube

Q – close program

Everything is simple. And by the way it is so colorful. Flashing little cubes. And all space is generating again every 5 seconds. And this means new packs with colors you will see at the screen!

Idea for game – some fantastic bowling. Throw a little cube. And it flies. Pseudo three dimensional is everything here. So, it is decreasing in size. And do you can hit or miss. It is about sharpness. And everything to be colorful. So, this way, I make a realization for the idea.

Title game B C Row. First two letters – it is  initials after B B C Basic for Sdl 2.0. It is programmed with it! I am a fan to programming with Basic! Second word – it is row. You something like see little cubes – in a row. As bowling, once again. But with empty space.

Some more about little cubes! And little cubes have one hundred energy. And your hit takes 50 energy. And idea of the game with little cubes. As soon as I launch BBC Basic for Sdl2.0, so I start to think to make about little cubes!

Some game ideas about games with little cubes. Lots. Different. So, I learn a little already programming. And I have some materials about this sphere. With little cubes. So, I take as a base already made development. And make a new variation. And it goes so faster. And with more fun.

And main here – it is everything works! Little cubes!!!!! So, it is possible to made lots of ideas with little cubes! To programming everything. Program everything. It is so funny! When everything works! And not so hard!

I like to play with little cubes! That’s why so a lot about a little cubes! Let`s play with little cubes!

Basic Pascal version 1.18 "Duckling" – most newest version. In this version there are 4 new games! Puddles at Countryside, Duckling Pseudo 3D, Road to Countryside, Duckling Goes 2D. And even more retro games! It is a pack of retro games with modern versions of Basic and Pascal.

It is now in development new version Basic Pascal pack games. This game will be included in a new version.

There is a very strong magnetic field at this planet, And strong radio waves. They make a their own structures. Whole oceans. And events at this fantastic planet. It is something like Solaris. Planet ocean. But another way. Magnetic field is very strong here, and it is like some force of nature at this planet and it forms a whole islands, for example. Out of radio waves. And radio waves – can make a whole ocean. Such a fantastic ideas. Of a strange planet. The planet, where UFO sausage is living.

Game itself it is a pseudo three dimensional flight at the UFO sausage. With CGA style colors. About 4 colors. You can turn left and right. To avoid objects. Circles and squares. They are with black color. Background of surface is moving with different speed. More speed higher for background- more intense it has a magnetic field, It is the idea.

Magnetic field can be 1.8 – it is small magnetic field, slow move. And it can be big strong field. It is 0.3 parameter of background. Background moves with most big speed in this game.

And you are flying and avoiding obstacles. This is the idea. To flight a certain distance. As in a learning book about math class. From point A to point B.

Distance is at the right part of the screen. And a the left - it is your energy. Levels are described with a fantastic conditions. Parameters of field, distance. In such fantastiс terms. And even there is – standalone theme of game – it is map of the planet. Pink planet. With white lines. Intense of field. Radio waves. Don’t forget, that there is no else thing at this planet. Two powers are active here, and they form everything. It is radio waves and magnetic field. They are, of course, not like a the planet Earth. And some fantastic.

There are descriptions for these regions of the planet. Total 42 regions. It is 42 episodes. They have 1 or several levels. Maximum it is 4 levels for a region. For more interest they are separated for 8 zones. Zone s are goes about higher and higher intense of magnetic field. You select region. And next - to read description of a region you select. Number of levels. And length of them. And something else. Power of the field.

Game is a retro science fiction theme. Strange, maybe. Regions – there are lots of them. It is a big planet giant. It is rotation somewhere in a depth of space. And from those space, UFO sausages are flying.

Game has some feature. It is main menu. You make a selection of game mode. F1 – normal mode. F2 – extended mode. Mainly, it is similar. But, simply, in extended mode, it is drawn square of a UFO sausage, hitbox, and two lines along the screen. For easier navigation. Just like you inside of UFO turn on some options. And something to indicate at the screen, as additional information.

Videogame, it is fourth, in a game plan TRIA. Final. In this plan. And as I finish it, I will start to prepare 4 new games for publish. Plan TRIA is going to its final.

Program part and overview description

Videogame is written with programming language QB64. It is modern version of QBasic. Game use 4 colors, that do imitation of colors MS DOS CGA. Pseudo three dimensional about way of movement. Something like arcade. Maybe, a game about – just to have a relax. Fly at some distance. Turn left or right. And do not crash into game objects – squares and circles. Game is with science fiction theme. There are texts and description of the planet.

Development state

So, for this time, I pay attention to decoration for the game. I do programming for menus with planet map. And it has lots of text. I create all these Sci Fi theme. With descriptions. And someway decorate the menus. In a pink color. I need to check, that everything works. And, maybe, to make menus more interesting. Maybe, to draw a picture with UFO sausage. And, mainly, - it is everything done!

It is, already, game number four in development plan TRIA. So, as soon as I finish this one. I will prepare all the things. And publish 4 new games in terms of new version of pack Basic Pascal.

This game will be released in terms of new version Basic Pascal Pack games. This game and some more games will be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. As soon as I will have several complete games. All of them will to be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. And a new version Basic Pascal Pack will be published for download.

Basic Pascal pack - whole pack of games and programes, written with basic and pascal. It is retro. With each game and program there is a page at author`s website. There are aditional information, descriptions, pictures, arts.

Basic Pascal: http://www.dimalink.tv-games.ru/packs/basicpascal/index_eng.html

Main theme for a game – it is effect of three dimensional space. Or it can be described as a point of view when you are fly. You are fly forward and avoid obstacles. Obstacles – are in form of objects - like rectangles. Square or circle.

One more interesting game feature. It is retro graphics style. In game it is in use something like CGA colors. And 4 colors. Two colors go for background.

At the fantastic planet – all around is a fantastic too. Strange objects and strange surface. And you are for yourself - it is a ufo sausage. It is everything here in purple and pink. And strange things are grown or placed. So that’s why very important color - it is purple or pink.

Idea of fly across the strange planet. It is in the base of development.

Program part

Game is with programming language QB64. And it is in use game screen number 7. It gives 320 at 200 resolution. And 16 colors. But I will use 4 colors, to have it more looks like IBM PC with CGA graphics. As a base I take a program code for game Voidtrix. To have development progress faster.

One more theme for previous game – Voidtrix – it is a making a program code, which it will be comfortable to use in new games.

Development state

Now, development in the very beginning state. And it is already made a background. It is an imitation of flight. As idea – it is little squares. Which like in a chess are drawn with different colors. And in purpose – imitation of move - they change their colors.

Background is changing with certain speed. It is imitation of speed flight.

Everything else in this development – it will be programmed. For example, ufo sausage itself. It will be shown only its edge. So, like front side. And obstacles themselves. Form of one colored squares, rectangles and circles. Maybe some other game features.

 This game will be released in terms of new version Basic Pascal Pack games. This game and some more games will be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. As soon as I will have several complete games. All of them will to be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. And a new version Basic Pascal Pack will be published for download.
