This is a large project I wrote shortly after leaving high school.

It was my very first full project in C (++).
It’s neither a ‘how to’, or well programmed example, but a look back at what unskilled home hobbiest’s were doing back in the 90's.

You no doubt have noticed it’s based on a well known character you’ve probably heard about –it's been around for ever, and are still popping up on the next-gen consoles. Because I had a framework to adhere to, I was able to concentrate on the code and graphics.

Everything is my own hand drawn pixel art (with the exception of the logo), and apart from a few algorithms, so is the program code. It has no sound, accesses the video memory directly in Mode 13h, and only uses 4 keys to play.

Here is the "Attract mode" - showing the high score, and animated game graphics in the background.
After several seconds a pre-recorded demonstration of game-play starts.

Here is the games level editor.
In this screen-shot you can see the behaviour of one of the moveable platforms being edited.

This is the editor again, here we can see the games foreground and background system, as well as a couple of "evil fish".
