Subject: Re: JSW:RR / Party Willy / MM:Allana Truman
Some very attractive-looking rooms you've got there, sendy! :)
Presumably you've set the nasty-blocks to behave as floor or wall in
some of those rooms.
Personally, I might try making a game with patch-vectors à la Geoff
Mode before I try to use Erix1 Mode. ZX Willy the Bug Slayer has ideas
which need to be taken further.
I might even try to add patch-vectors to Party Willy if I have time
at the end, which would entail hacking JSW128 to accommodate
patch-vectors (Party Willy will come in two 48K parts, and a JSW128
version combining those two parts).
I still haven't touched Party Willy since December 1999, largely
because I'm still typing four blocks of JSW a day into my real
Spectrum until I catch up (I'm currently in the middle of typing in
Still Stealin', then I have to do ZX HEROES, JSW:FTB, Mr Top Hat,
and Maria vs some bastards).
My current idea is to release Part 1 of Party Willy on 12th April
2004, which will be Jelena Dokic's 21st birthday, and Part 2 on 23rd
April 2004, which will be Daniela Hantuchová's 21st birthday! :-) The
JSW128 version may or may not be ready for release at the same time as
the 48K version.
Manic Miner: Allana Truman still stands at one room written, but I
have been busy studying two-and-a-half-year-old episodes of Neighbours
for research-purposes! :-)
