XPOINT MAGNET ATARI 3.9.2023






This is a game for ATARI ST mono emulators. It is made with GFA-BASIC and GBE. It is not tested on a real machine and it is possible, that it can't be run on it. You can try to run XPOINTM.PRG or XPOINTM.GFA in a GFA BASIC interpreter. XPOINTM.PRG runs with the emulator hatari 1.8.0 and its built-in EmuTOS-image (https://hatari.tuxfamily.org/download.html). GFA BASIC was chosen as programming language to write a program compatible to EmuTOS. The game can also be run with hataroid and its built-in EmuTOS-image. hataroid is available for Android devices. The .LST file was written with the Windows X editor and merged and compiled with the programs coming with GBE. GBE ran with the operating system FreeMint 1.19 and the emulator ARAnyM 1.1.0 and the result was tested with the ATARI emulator hatari 1.8.0.

Xpoint MAGNET is a version of Xpoint for one and two players. The magnetic moving objects run from the upper side of the gamefield to the lower side and back. The speed to the left side and to the right side is controlled with the left and right cursor keys (player one) and a and d (player two). ESC can be used to quit the game. A magnet, which runs towards the player, exists for every player. You can collect points and flags with the magnets. The magnetic objects, which move faster than the magnets, mustn't crash into holes or pirate stones. A level is completed after all flags are collected. There are eleven levels. Points, flags, stones, pirate stones and holes are used in these levels. The first level also demonstrates some additional objects, but they are not used in the levels.
