Intros
So, this is the unofficial home of XeO3 for the CPC. Or rather the official home of the unofficial version of XeO3. Which may become official. Or not.
Ahem.
I'm looking at targetting a CPC6128 version, because getting a decent framerate and smooth scrolling on just a 464 is probably not possible. If all goes well, it'll probably be followed up by a full on hardcore 6128+ version, but only time will tell. Like the other versions the game will vary slightly to be best optimised for the CPC hardware, but with hopefully enough echoes of the other versions to make it fit in.
I'm still getting my head round the scrolling routines, as it's going to be a bit of a challenge. Technical stuff to follow later hopefully.

Hehe, good point. It's a closely guarded secret and not anything to do with me not having entirely figured out how Blogger works yet. ;)

Hi.
Well you should indeed just use a 6128+.
The XeO3 project was supposed to use a underrated computer with just too few games : the C= +/4...
Well, the Amstrad plus series are some thing like this : just too few softwares used really all the Extra "plus".
Good luck anyway.
