Hi guys.....Here is some info about the Gang Fight 2
- The game ONLY runs on the FX 1.0, AFX 2.0, G100 or other compatible model.
- The game has 8 files ( G-FIG.IN1, G-FIG.IN2, G-FIG.IN3, G-FIG.IN4, G-FIG.IN5 ,G-FIG.JOG, G-FIG.PLA and G-FIGHT2 ).
- To ?install? the game you need 55625 bytes free, but to run the game you need more 41369 bytes free ( in another words you need 96994 bytes free to play the game ).
- The Gang Fight 2 ( for what I know ), is the biggest game ever made in CASIO BASIC, and they require the new features of the FX 1.0 and AFX 2.0, the CFX version will be very slow and very much limited, ( for example the FX 1.0 and AFX 2.0 can store 20 pictures, the CFX can only store 6 ).
I never test it in the CFX models with 64Kb, the game probably will run until the calculator don?t have more free memory to load the game but I thing that some menus will be launched, anyway if anyone want to try go ahead?..
- The GF2 package includes 2 G-FIGHT.CAT files, one for normal installation, and other for fast installation.
What is this about fast and normal installation?
Well if you install the game ( in normal installation, by selecting the link program, pressing F2 and send the file whit the FA-123 ), you will have to wait 8/9 minutes to complete the ?installation?.
But you can ?install? the game in only 1,45 minutes, in the link program press F4+F5+F6, then set your FA-123 for the FX/CFX mode, then send the file to your FX 1.0 or AFX 2.0.
ATTENTION ? sometimes during the fast installation some ?errors? can occur ( like errors during the game, some files can be not completely ?installed? ), if it happen you have to ?install? the game in ?normal mode?.
- The game not require pre-installed pictures in the pictures memory, the game will draw all the necessary pictures, this means that if you need more free memory for anything, you can just delete the pictures memory, then to load it again, just run the G-FIGHT2 file.
- The game files have password protection for the users, can?t damage it accidentally.
- The game files use one already used technique in the Periodic Table programs that don?t let one file run, whiteout the main file be executed, in another words the game will only run if you execute the G-FIGHT2 file, if you try to launch the game from any other Gang Fight 2 game files you will receive this message:
?Please run G-FIGHT2?.
- To draw the graphics, or better to create the BASIC files that will draw the graphics I use one Windows application and some techniques, that program give us all the X and Y values ( to use whit the PlotON. PlotOff, and F-Line commands ), of one 127x63 BMP monochromatic picture ( don?t forget that the BASIC graphics games and programs only have the ?max resolution? of 127x63 pixels ), it?s very easy to do it, if you guys use this program I don?t have any doubt that from now we will see only good and excellent graphics in BASIC games and programs ( I already use that technique whit the Periodic Table program ).
- In some E-mails there is questions about the Gang Fight ( the first version ), well I never finished it because when I was making then I was advised about the UCF contest, so I decide to make a better version for the contest, so I start the Gang Fight 2 whiteout finished de the Gang Fight.
PS - The Gang Fight has more fight moves but you can?t choose any enemy, you fight against the same enemy.
