Drone Zone

Overview

One of two drone racing games developed for the 2024 Reset64 4KB Craptastic Game Competition. This was developed by Carleton Handley with extra code by Saul Cross (who also did the music and some of the graphics.) The game also borrows a bit from the C64 classic, Thrust. Quote from Carleton: "Every two years Reset64 Magazine run a competition to create a game for the Commodore 64 in 4kb or less. I entered in 2020 and 2022 with Blockheads and Nurikabe respectively, both can be downloaded from my page here on itch.io Drone Zone is my 2024 effort and I wanted to do something a little more technical with this entry so this game has full screen 50/60hz scrolling. The code for that is generated at runtime as it takes over 4k of RAM on its own. The idea of the game is to get around each of the six zones as fast as you can. With practice zones one and two can be completed in under 11 seconds so it's definitely a speed run game. Here are my best times if you'd like to compete against the developer: Zone 1 - 10:56 Zone 2 - 10:66 Zone 3 - 14:36 Zone 4 - 15:02 Zone 5 - 18:02 Zone 6 - 17:42 Instructions are included in the zip as either a text file or a C64 .prg file. The game is compatible with real C64s, TheC64 and all emulators. It will also run on PAL and NTSC machines."
