A BattleZone by GameMadnessInteractive fork

This is a fork of a game for blind and visually impaired written in Blastbay Gaming Toolkit scripting language.
Note: There’s no graphics, only sound!
the original version as well as the discussion of the game can be found here.
Copyright В© the original code and sounds were developed by Carlos Macintosh.
You can find out how to play the game by reading user guide.txt file.

Changes made by Menelion Elensúlë:

  • Removed the maxarmor restriction — no useless armor anymore!
  • Removed the annoying evading blades sound — use the V key more frequently instead
  • Removed annoying life loss messages
  • Removed bombs — they were quite instable
  • Now each ammo pack that you can buy contains 30 ammo, not 10 — I think it’s more realistic to pay 30 points per gunshot
  • Now when you get an evade blades, nothing is said — the sound is enough
  • Cheats: F4+Enter gives you extra 250 lives, not just 250
  • Cheats: Del+Z gives you extra 250 armor, not just 250
  • New cheat: press Ctrl+Shift+I, and every item gets caught automatically for you
  • A potion now gives more health (between 70 and 120, not between 50 and 100)

Plans for future:

  • SHOP: Allow items selling, not only buying. When being sold, items cost half their original price
  • ITEMS: Change all voice messages to sounds for extra points, lives, boobies etc.
  • Code optimizing and cleaning
  • Implement update manager from 13.4 branch or develop an alternative one
  • Allow armor protection from boulders (you will need really lots of armor for this, and you’ll lose lots of armor when hit by a boulder)
  • Maybe make a Russian branch or a bilingual interface
  • Provide a hints.txt file after gaining 50000 points

Known issues:

  • Level 5 is not working: to beat a boss, just press Spacebar. That was so before my intrusion, and for now I don’t know how to solve this. Pull requests are welcome.
