leaper (inc)

[speter]

Here is another game based on Tim Hartnell's "Giant Book of Spectrum Games".

In the game, you control a frog (leaper) and attempt to move the frog accross a pond and then a road. The frog can move foward or to the side. When crossing the pond you need to land on the lilies; when crossing the road you need to avoid the cars.

I have made a number of changes to the logic of the game:

• in the original, the cars moved to and fro in each lane; in my version, all the cars in the first 4 lanes head one way... also, the cars  "wrap" onto the other end
• in the original, the score increased by 10 as the frog moves forward; in my version the score decreases with each move.

By default the cars drive on the left-hand-side; if you'd prefer right-hand-side simply change (line 16):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. drive_left = true;

to false.

Similarly, to make the cars go faster decrase the timer interval (line 15):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. interval = 500;

Enjoy!
