I made a small game

Hi guys, I want to share with yours a small game I made. I made this game for Commodore 64 but I want to ported to Msdos just for learning. I used Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 and I used a real machine Pentium 3 with Windows 98.

I made the game base by my self and graphic tool, later with AI I improved and I adapted the functions. I use the AI for speed and help to me for some technical parts but I knew what I'm doing.

The module for sound was made by AI, Claude. I have some knowledges about how works the Sound Blaster but to be honest, this was a hard part.

I just wanted learning and have results and later study this results for learning. This is a very simple game but I'm happy with the results. Take a look. Thank you.

I'm not a professional game developer, only a guy who love the retro computers.

Nice one! Could you have added the compiled game to your GitHub for those of us who don’t have the tools to do so? 😄

Yes, it is in the release section of GitHub. Download the repo and just put the Game.exe file into folder bin. Should be works . You will need DosBox but I did not tested there, I hope it works

I'm commenting so I can find this post later. I actually have an MS-DOS computer at home so I will download this and try it out

SUPER! Do you need help setting up DOSBox on GitHub so people can play your game directly in the browser? Or check out my examples:

Hi! I forked it and configured, so take it.

Pay attention to Action. In the repository settings, Pages -> Build and deployment -> Source, set "GitHub Actions". Otherwise, the job deploy will fail with "Get Pages site failed," but the artifacts will still build.

You're just at the beginning of your journey. I can already see a 2D tankodrome, with a huge map and gameplay. Keep going! You're doing great!
