Androidz Redux v1.01 released

Post by sa_scott »

I've released v1.01 of Androidz Redux this evening.

While playing the game online (via jsbeeb) earlier today, I found that the verdict never loaded, instead some broken text appeared onscreen and the game crashed. This was rather upsetting. Having playtested on b2 and Beebem, this issue didn't occur. Only jsbeeb.

I traced the bug to the use of HIMEM being set before the verdict was loaded. I removed it, and the game seems to work now within jsbeeb. It would seem the game doesn't need to set HIMEM at this point anyway, as the game itself sets HIMEM when it is rerun after choosing to play again. But certainly a curious little bug, nonetheless.

I've also corrected a minor glitch in some character data on level 20, caused by the loop counter finishing one step too early, messing up the last byte of data.

Play online - https://bbc.godbolt.org/?disc=https://w ... d&autoboot

I'm hopeful this is the version that can be considered safe to play now, and hopefully make it into the BBC games archive. :wink:
