Cheekah's Exploits - Julian Wood (Your Computer-January 86-Page 62)

J.R.E.WOOD AND A PLATFORM GAME WITH A DIFFERENCE.

Picture yourself as a guy with a top-hat, with pulsating globules, and bushes
of green. Something comes near you, you follow quite slowly. A guard which
moves like a machine. Platforms of brick that seem so long and high, towering
over your head. Look for the exit to plan your escape. And you're gone...
 So sets the scenario for Cheekah's Exploits, a platform game for any Spectrum.
It's main features are.

* Smooth, bright, fully animated graphics.
* Collapsing platforms - fully disintegrate as Cheekah walks on them.
* Black platforms - Cheekah cannot pass through these.
* Touch sensitive conveyer belts - only operated when Cheekah walks on them.
* Thistles - to be avoided.
* Mobile guards - move horizontally or vertically, kill on touch.
* High-score table.
* Attract mode.
* Continuous tunes.
* Editor mode - allows you to design new screens or change existing ones.
* 25 different screens - some fairly easy, others virtually impossible.

 To enter Cheekah's Exploits, first type in the hex loader in listing 1. Run
it and enter 0 for the line number. Type in each line of hex - the line of
numbers and letters following the three digit line number - shown in listing
2. The computer takes a couple of seconds to process the data in each line.
If the line is OK, it will be printed up on the screen and you can proceed
with the next line. If you hear any of the three warning tones, then you have
not entered the line correctly - enter it again. Once all the code has been
entered the computer will Save it automatically.
 Run the hex loader again, proceeding as before, except this time enter the
lines in listing 3. Obviously entering this amount of code in one go is no
pleasure trip, so if you want a break, enter X and the code entered so far
will be Saved. Make a note of the line number reached so that you can enter
this in response to "Line number?" once you have reloaded the code and the
hex loader.
 Now type in the program in listing 4 and Save it on another cassette using:
        SAVE "CHEEKAH'S" LINE 0
 Then New the computer and lower RAMTOP using:
        CLEAR 23999
 Reload the first block of code, using LOAD ""CODE 32300 and Save part of it
on the second cassette using:
        SAVE "EXPLOITS"CODE 32300,415.
 Load the first block again, using: LOAD ""CODE and Save it over the original
using SAVE "CODE"CODE 28415,4018.
 Load this block of code again, using LOAD ""CODE 24000 and then the second
block, using: LOAD ""CODE 28018. Finally, Save the main block of code on the
second cassette using: SAVE "C"CODE 24000,8440.

COMMENT: If you have this sheet explaining how to design screens with the
editor, DID would love a copy of it. Thanks.
