Help with shoot 'em up game

[spectreman]

Hi. I can do a simple shoot up game with MPAGD? There are tutorials or examples with this kind of game? And what is better for this, AGD or MPAGD? Or other software?

Thanks!

A few years ago I created an example game to show how it is possible to create a shoot-em-up with the tool:

Tea and Sympathy

You'll need to load it into AGD 4.7 or MPAGD to see how it works.

Somebody uploaded a video of it in action:

a 2nd thank you. I just downloaded it and I think it will help me a lot!

I downloaded it but I when I try to load it into agd, I get the title page and the game but I cannot then get any agd menus and I want to see how it was made and look at the code. I'm using spectaculator.

I load agd, then add the game to the cassette recorder and press 'l' in agd to load the game. it loads but all I can do is play it?

Hi daveb, you should load the file into AGD 4.6 or earlier. AGD 4.7 uses different memory addresses.

Download this version

Then open MPAGD and choose Import game from tape.
