Subject: JSW 128 Save Routine
Thinking about the pause button routine led me to
think of the following:
Would someone care to
hack JSW 128 so that pressing pause saves the game?
:-)
I would simply make Willy lose a life (but give him
one back) to save having to record where he was in
the room, where the guardians were, etc. The item
table and the room location (including where Willy
entered) and the number of lives left and time remaining
is all that would need to be recorded, says he
thinking this out as he types this post...
The save
could alternatively save the whole game and negate the
need of a load routine.
I can remember a
type-in listing at the Ultimate JSW Fan Page (is that
right?) which enabled you to save a screenshot of JSW by
pressing a key. Perhaps this could be adapted for a save
routine?
Food for thought...
Phil
