My goal was to make a card pairing game using BBC Basic. For my code to be compatible with my hardware it must use less than 16kb of ram so Mode 7 was choosen. This was my first interaction with teletext and so I used "Sixel"s to create higher resolution graphics cheaply. This code could be easily made into asembly but basic was my aim. There is room for performance improvments but readability was a priority since I will be using this for educational purposes.
SixelFlip.bas is the source-code. This file is in plain text.
SixelFlip.bbc can be ran in SDLIDE (1.35a was used for devlopment).
SixelFlip.zip holds a windows executable which will play the game instead (Generated by SDLIDE).
WASD or Arrow keys, move the cursor*. Space, reveals a hidden card. R, Restarts the game once all pairs have been found. The highlighted name in the bottom shows the current player. *Cursor is the checkered line above and below a card. It's colour is random and irrelevant
Start
Two different Selected Cards
All Cards are hidden again. Player 2 is now green.
